Eating After Bariatric Surgery - A guide for the first month

Thanks TinaLou for posting the Matthew Weiner video. it was very informative and direct to the points we need to manage post op and further, and I liked what he said at the end, too.

Thankyou for posting this video!! Just like makbo said there was so much more info and guidance in the video than in my doctors sessions.

cheers

I found Dr Matthew Weiner on You Tube to be fantastic, what a wealth of information.

Cool! I'm glad this is a good guide. I didn't want to watch too many of his videos if I was getting the wrong information.  And yes, what my surgeon or dietician says comes first.
Thanks everyone :-)

I am 1 week post op and am finding the liquid phase very hard all I want to do is sink my teeth into something but I do have a wonderful husband who is smacking my hands when they tend to wonder😜.  
I did find this video very helpful as well thanks for sharing it💋

 Wow! This is a great video, I think I got more info from this that was spot on than I did from my surgeon. This video is a fantastic guide to post op diet and right on the mark- I am into week 3 post op and have really been finding what will work for me through trial and error.

In general I think this is well done and very similiar to what I had been told to do. I found I could eat eggs and seafood without problem; when I reached that stage (either mashed or chunky; and even blended eggs at the muchy stage). I also find that I can eat chicken (and was told to start with chicken) rather than steak easier; even at over three years out. I think the steak, beef type foods (even when slow cooked and blended) tend to sit in your stomach longer and thus you eat less, because you are fuller. I was told by my dietican I could have limited low calorie drinks including soft drink (this is about out about six months though); though I wish I had never started on them; I am trying to cut down to a couple a week instead of a couple a day. (I ususally only drink these low calorie drinks when I want an alcoholic drink). I always carry water in my handbag; very easy to get dehydrated even now. (my biggest problem, I forget to drink)

Remember everyone is different (what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another; e.g. scrambled eggs in the soft stage) and you should always follow your surgeon and dieticans advice.

While searching the web and clicking around I came across some youtube videos by a Dr Matthew Weiner.  I found them very interesting and thought I would post a link here.  Can anyone who is post op let me know how on the mark this advice is please?  Cheers!
