kaap thinking about taco bell

i had my surgery on the 30th and i havent been able to eat anything (soup) only sugar free popsicles, i keep wanting to eat normal food,,, even though my stomach isnt hungry my mind is... :/// am i allowed to have protien shakes at this stage? im super miserable.

I don't know what your surgeon's plan is at this stage.  Didn't he or she tell you what you could and could not have?

not really.. i have my first appt on next wenesday

well, that is very worrisome.  I would call first thing in the morning and ask for a meal plan.

Seriously?  They sent you home from surgery without any rules or guidelines on what you should eat?

Did you work with a NUT before and after surgery ? That's crazy they didn't give you a list of post op food in stages  . I had my rny dine on 7/15, I'm in the pureed stage . First week was water, sugar free jello and broth . from now up until 2 months we can have yogurt , cottage cheese, soups ( like split pea , no chunks of food or noodles)   refried beans and protein shakes .   There are some excellent books on amazon. 

You know, if you're crazing taco bell , take some low fat refried beans, put a little taco seasonin in it and a little 2% cheese melted on top .  I do that all the time . Its really good. 

ha good idea.. lol im still in the liquid stage.. i just am not sure if im allowed to have protien shakes?

When you get to the point, I lived off pintos and cheese with sour cream from Taco Bell for a few months.  Good stuff, high protein, goes down smooth.  I don't believe in low fat processed foods as they often have sugar, fillers and chemicals added to make up for the low-fatness, but you can make your own low-fat version if you are sensitive to fat (which some rny-ers are).
