... Read morePost-operative nutrition is crucial for recovery after gastric sleeve surgery. Patients are generally recommended to consume high-protein, low-carbohydrate meals to facilitate healing and promote weight loss. Breakfast might include foods like eggs or cottage cheese paired with lean meats, providing essential proteins to start the day. For lunch, consider incorporating high-protein snacks such as tuna salads with added vitamins from vegetables like spinach or diced peppers. Shredded cheese adds flavor while still being respectful of your dietary needs. Dinner options can be exciting with a variety of protein sources including ground chicken, which can be prepared in a variety of healthy ways. Utilizing an air fryer is a great solution to keep meals delicious without excess oil. Filling wraps with nutrients from vegetables not only enhances texture but also boosts your daily vitamin intake, ensuring your meals contribute to overall wellbeing post-surgery. Remember to stay hydrated and consult with a healthcare provider to ensure all dietary decisions align with recovery goals.

A person in a hospital gown and blue socks sits on a hospital bed, smiling. Text overlay reads "I GOT THE GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY Here's why" with the date May 13, 2024.
A black and white image shows a person writing at a table. Text overlay explains the surgery was chosen for health reasons, due to pre-diabetes and physical limitations.
Text overlays on a hospital ceiling background discuss the decision to get surgery, struggles with food addiction, and the hard work and mental strength required for the process.
I got the gastric sleeve surgery.
Thank you so much for reading if you did. I wasn’t sure if I was going to share this experience with the world because I was afraid of how people would react to it. But I’m not going to let other people’s opinions choose my actions. I’m so proud of myself for going through this process and getting

This is what I eat 5 days post op gastric sleeve surgery. I'm on the clear liquid stage of my diet for the first 7 days.. It was so difficult to drink all the liquids. My stomach was hurting. The chocolate flavor protein was a little heavy on my stomach. I had to dilute it. #gastricsleevelife
