almost 6 weeks post op...Getting concerned

holy cow !!! I was told NO pasta or noodles whatsoever !!!

Pasta and mashed potatoes are terrible foods for post ops. Protein first. That can take the form of eggs, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. There is absolutely no reason to eat simple white carbohydrates like that.

Lots of people don't like protein shakes.

Small pasta with sauce and mashed potatoes are on my list at this point. However mashed potatoes taste horrible to me. Cottage cheese and yogurt are basically all I feel like eating.

My surgeon is great and very creditable. Each surgeon has their own guidelines.

Oh and I ate eggs too... I am not telling you what to eat, just telling you what I did eat.  You can choose what you want off your list.  I don't eat 90% of what was on there and I never did :)  either way, you will be ok and you will get past this... 

Thanks again 

Thanks again 

I didn't say your surgeon wasn't credible. I said those are poor food choices for a post op. They are simple carbohydrates with very little nutrition.

Do whatever you want.

Your surgeon is neither great nor credible if he is telling you to eat pasta and mashed potatoes this early on.  Sorry, but that's how it is... and I have nearly 200 pounds of weight loss to back up my opinion.  If you don't agree, that is fine... ruin thousands of dollars worth of surgery then, doesn't affect me much (other than makes me mad).

Trust me don't eat noodles. Or crackers. I would ask a vet.

I am so troubled by this!  Dr Graber would not agree with this!   He is a well respected surgeon and you telling people to eat mashed potatoes and chicken pasta noodles and mashed potatoes for 7 weeks, I seriously doubt he would have staked his reputation on you. Early out you can fart and lose a pound. If you were so healthy and ate only meat and vegatables preop, why go to the trouble of WLS since you don't like the protocol.  

Dear opening poster. The information provided by Trouble is not advisable.  Stick with protien and avoid the carbs and your stall will eventually break.
