Food Frustration
Hey All
I had gallbladder surgery and an internal hernia on 7/22. It's been a month, but I'm having trouble progressing my diet. Before this surgery I was eating mostly whatever I wanted, ie: vegetarion protein, fish, with rare occassional lean beef/bison (I don't do chicken or pork), yogurts, protein powders, veggies (fresh raw or cooked), and small amounts of whole grains. I was doing great and very happy with my RNY.
Now it seems that I'm not yet able to handle raw foods well, nor, as I found out on Saturday, am I able to tolerate dense meats (I tried to eat a bison burger). It simply hurts to eat anything other than soft, well cooked foods. I can eat yogurt, eggs, LF cheese, & cooked veggies (thank GOD!), but this is particularly frustrating because I am craving some variety. I WANT A SALAD!!!! I want sashimi!!! Raw veggies! Sorry...just venting.
Did anyone else have this issue when they had either gallbladder or hernia surgery after WLS? Just curious.
Thanks
Lisa
