Week & a half post and trying new foods... Bad?



Recommended Posts

My stomach really has not had any issues... Is it normal to skip phases? I haven't, but I am already eating mash potatoes, creamy Soups, smoothies and refried beans... Should I stay here or keep trying? Help... Total newbie :P

1. Go to Youtube and watch a gory surgical video on the kind of surgery you had, to remind yourself of how brutalized your stomach is right now.

2. Follow the plan your team gave you.

3. I hope you don't have any complications. Why would you risk it?

4. If you get complications because of rushing the process, here is a hug from Chicago.

I am mostly liquids... Protein drinks and juices. I paid too much to risk it. Just taking tiny bites of different things the last few days. I did find a site called floydbariatrics.org and was looking at their phases and trying things that they suggested to a certain extent... Just curious.. and I am not going to mess this amazing gift of starting over, up :D

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
