Thank you! I'll check it out.
Try www.bariatriceating.com they have menu ideas for different stages and you can also order food. I just ordered the soup.
Btw, my weight is fine at about 130. It has stayed the same for probably 8 months.
Hello! I had the Vertical Sleeve done in December 2013. I did great for about a year. I ate healthy, no pop, very rarely ate sweets, rarely any bread, rarely pastas our rice, but I became bored with my diet and started to eat more chocolate and other sweets. I haven't been getting all the protein or water that I am supposed to have. Lately, I have been eating more unhealthy snacks than real food.
I really don't remember much from my nutritional appointments before my surgery. Looking on the internet is like trying to find a needle in a haystack! I can't seem to drink protein shakes, because I have become lactose intolerant. I tried what I use to drink, slimfast, with soymilk and Lactaid, but that doesn't work. I get sick. I can tolerate Lactaid in oatmeal, cereal, or a small glass. All I ever drink is water flavored with Mio.
I need a book that will tell me how many grams of protein and other things I need, other foods I should eat, and what kind of foods to stay away from. Like, breaded foods don't digest well for me or broccoli.
Any ideas on a book? I moved to another state so I haven't been able to go to the nutritionist or the PA that I saw before.
Thanks! Terry
It's quite a word! I used to use this screen name when I was online dating. No one ever knew what it meant.

I'm not sure if you had WLS or not, but I would avoid Pepto-Bismol. It is a salicylate (NSAID).
I hope you are feeling better.

I love those! Also, I have always adored the word "pulchritudinous."
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I have been sick to the stomach for 2 days now. Throwing food back up, burping just feeling terrible. Can't figure out what it is. Should I stop eating? I am 6 weeks out from my gastric and I tried pepto bus all and gas x. Help!!
I had a hiatal hernia & was given a ppi along with a list of foods to avoid. The hernia was repaired at surgery, the foods you have listed would not be good for weight loss patients & is probably only good for normal people who are at a normal weight.
