Dietary Guidelines for a DS????

Aug 12, 2009

So am sure most of you saw my posts on not doing low carb, and all of the attitude I received from it. I told someone I would post this when I figured out to copy it from Acrobat. I am sure you will get a good laugh, rant, whatever out of it. To be fair after seeing this you can understand my questions and problems with low carbs.


Dietary Guidelines for 4 Weeks Post-op BPD-DS

Food
(servings/day)		 Good choices Try later or Avoid
(Mostly due to high sugar or fat)
Beverages
(6-8 cups)		 Water, flat diet soda, diet/sugar free drinks (Crystal Lite, Tang, Snapple), herbal/decaf teas All juices, sweetened teas, carbonated beverages, alcoholic beverages, caffeinated beverages
Meats/Meat substitutes
(5-6)

Fats
(2-3)		 Butter/margarine/oil (1 tsp), salad dressing (2 tsp), low-cal mayonnaise (1 T), low-cal salad dressing (2 T), sour cream (2 T), cream cheese (1 T)
Sweets Limit all;

Things to keep in mind:
  • If you can tolerate most foods on the “good choices” list, try gradually introducing items in bold.
  • Adding meat tenderizer to meat/poultry can improve tolerance.
  • Seafood and fish are easier to tolerate than beef and poultry.
  • The most difficult foods to “stomach” at this stage are red meat, white meat chicken, untoasted bread, rice, pasta, and raw vegetables.
  • Everyone progresses at a different pace; if you are doing well and have no food intolerances, try adding new foods to your diet slowly .
