The one reliable food for me that I'm always tolerating is cheese!!!

I ate a piece of bacon during my pre-op diet and it. was. Magnificent. Then I felt super guilty. 🙈🥓

I absolutely love the thread.
My godson is staying w/ us for a week. I picked him up earlier today. He's 4 and of course he wanted McDonald's. I had 3-4 of his fries. They were heavenly!
I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op and had no ill affects!

Pft this thread. Yeah... um... I gained 15lbs during my "food funerals" between my first appointment and the last one I had (June 6th - mid-September) and after finding out that I hadn't lost a single pound in 7 days on my pre-op diet, I went and got Burger King AND Taco Bell yesterday sooooo. Yeah. Actually feel pretty ashamed about it since I didn't even make it a solid 7 days without slipping up. I'm sure post-op NEXT WEEK will be peachy..

You monster, do you know how many carbs are in jam!?!?!?

It could be so many things. Can you keep any fluids down?
For me, it turned out to be severe Constipation and I was so backed up, nothing else would go down! LOL. I had no. idea. Zero. Ideas. Until it happened to me. Very back bowel cramping, but no productivity. Just bad, bad, bad, bowel cramps and hurling up my toes. Only time since surgery I've hurled.

Thanks for the concern. The symptoms actually passed about 10 minutes after I posted and I feel fine now. I plan on sharing the episode with my doctor at my next appointment.

I hate that you are experiencing such unpleasant episode. I disagree about it not sounding like dumping. I'm about 4 weeks out and this sounds very similar to what I experienced. I too thought it came out of nowhere but later found out it was dumping from 2 tortilla chips I ate like 30mins or so before episode started. I walked and walked, I took my gas medicine....pepcid and reglan. Took about 1 to hour to and a half but It FINALLY let up. The dry heaving was the worst.....thought I was going to detach an organ and spit it up. IT WILL PASS, I PROMISE. I agree that it wouldn't hurt to let you doc know though.

No clue what I did wrong... Came out of nowhere!

You know I have such much chronic body pain I can't testify to whether I have more/less pain post- surgery. Anybody like my chronic arthritis? Selling it at a price even YOU can afford! Figure I can, cause I got it for FREE!😋

So how,are you feeling and doing, my friend?👵😛🌈

Surgery is at 8am! So you after...

If you're planning presents, it's a little over 2 months to Mine! This is EXCITING, I thought all I was getting this year was 7 slugs and a pouch that doesn't drain right! Yippee Skippee, pressies!

Dear Alex and Team,
Thank you very kindly for my belated Christmas Birthday presents!
They represent a veritable trifecta of fun and I can foresee hours and hours of emoji fun in every post from here until the end of time. 🦄 🖕
You complete me.
Sincerely,

Wondering what alternative drinks people order when at a bar or restaurant if you aren't drinking alcohol.

Most of the low cal options are highly carbonated e.g diet coke
Non alcoholic drinks such as lemon lime and bitters or lime and soda are generally quite high in sugar and calories.
Plain soda Water is boring and plain water even worse.

Matchmaker matchmaker make me a match!
Find me a find, catch me a catch!
Night after night in the dark I’m alone
So find me a match of my own!

NYC born and raised.
Never going back... Lol

Thank you for this!!! I'm in my 3rd week also introducing soft foods and I have stalled for 5 days! I thought something was wrong with me. Seeing everyone's replies is very encouraging. :-) I even thought about going back to the dreaded liquid diet. I'll give it more time. Again for this!

Swaps, I'm all about the swaps. What can you swap that pizza out for that fits your diet and is a healthier option. Not sure how far out from surgery you are, but cauliflower pizza is a pretty good alternative to typical pizza. Check the panel clearly but it's a decent swap.

You’re introducing foods back into your diet; your body is adjusting. The weight will come off and there will always be stalls. Just give it time

If you're still concerned, contact your medical team. But my guess is it's probably all normal. Just keep walking, getting your Proteins and Water in.
