So, one of the big myths I heard about gastric bypass surgery is that you won't be able to eat raw vegetables like salad, etc. until at least six months into surgery. A few have said they were able to, but got really gassy. Well, I can tell you now that's a crock of poop lol :P The other day I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with my parents (a chicken joint I mentioned in an earlier blog). I had raw carrot sticks with a tiny bit of blue cheese dressing and it was totally fine. Today, while at the Olive Garden for lunch, I had about two tablespoons of salad with the Italian dressing. I did totally fine with it :). Next time I may just have an entire salad or something with the fat free Italian dressing :). In any event, here is what I ate at Olive Garden today to give you an idea of where you will be around 6-7 weeks post op:
* Two bites of a breadstick
* Two tablespoons of salad
* 1/2 cup of chicken and gnocchi soup
* Two bites of a chicken florentine sandwich
* 1/4 glass of iced tea (before the meal started mostly) - very tiny sips now and then.
I know - no fluids during the meal, etc. I barely eat anything as it is so I am careful not to overdo it :).
Other than that - that's about what I ate. It was really good and satisfying too. I was comfortably full afterwards.
Tonight I am taking last night's leftover shredded chicken tacos I made (omg they were even better last night than the first time I made them lol) and going to make me and Adam a chicken quesadilla on my new Krups panini/quesadilla grill :). Om nom nom :D
Happy eating all :D
