Eat small bites and chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, chew, until there's nothing left to chew, then swallow and wait............ It may feel like you just swallowed a bowling ball -- that's normal, and it passes quickly. The very worst thing that can happen from eating something before your tummy is ready for it is an episode of what Duffy calls " Deja Food, " i.e., it comes back up. Not pleasant, but there's no medical worry about it. > When did some of you start adding > things back to your diet. My surgeon, Dr. Anthone, starts all of his patients on solid foods in the hospital, just as soon as they've had their post-op Upper GI exam. > I don't like seafood, I know that > would be the best way to start. Seafood is a good way to start -- but only if you like seafood. Remember, you had the BPD/DS, not the RNY, so you don't have to spend the rest of your life avoiding fat like the plague. In fact, the patient brochure on the website of Dr. Hess, who created the BPD/DS surgery -- ALL HAIL THE GREAT AND WONDERFUL DR. HESS! -- includes the following: " Remember your surgery bypasses FAT. FAT IS YOUR FRIEND! Go ahead and eat it! " The easiest way to pack in the protein is to eat lots of good old- fashion all-American MEAT. And the greasier the meat is, the easier it slides down. If your tum-tum is still sensitive enough to be bothered by fat, then of course you'll have to start slowly.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2001 Report Share Posted July 10, 2001 In fact, the patient brochure on the website of Dr. Hess, who created the BPD/DS surgery -- ALL HAIL THE GREAT AND WONDERFUL DR. HESS! -- includes the following: "Remember your surgery bypasses FAT. FAT IS YOUR FRIEND! Go ahead and eat it!" I need to find this website. I have seen a couple references that eating fat is okay. Has anyone had negative results such as weight gain? I already am aware it will be eliminated in the bm. Everything listed by the dietitian is lowfat and lowcal...
