I was sleeved on 12/8/2011, and am on soft foods, I can pretty much handle whatever I eat as long as I take my time and chew it well, but lately I am craving hot stuff!! If I have chili I want to put hot sauce in it, when I have fish, I wanna put hot sauce on it. I know my NUT said that food tastes change, but I never liked hot things in the past...Anyone else have weird food cravings since surgery?? :biggrin:

just wondering about food at 4 weeks post op...my new fave item is puree chili and pb...

Did you have your surgery at Buffalo General?? I had mine there and December 8th with Dr, Hoffman, loveee him by the way, and all the staff at the WLCenter.

thank you for the encouragment everyone, I am hoping this will pass soon, the scale has been the same for about 4 days, could be worse, I couldve gained lol. It's just when you set goals for yourself, you hate to inch to the goal... Best of luck to all my banana babes though!!! p.s. afro cyster 19lbs pre op 20lbs post op in 3 weeks...

I was given 4 weeks by my surgeon, but luckily I was able to use short term disability though my employer, I was in a lot of pain though, but remember, everyone is different...

soo sorry just had to vent!! I am 3 weeks post op today and the scale is stuck at 235.4, every single time I weigh myself, soooo aggrivating, I heard that this was going to happen, but didnt think I would get this mad

I also did not have a pre-op diet, just the day before surgery scrambled eggs for breakfast then liquids the rest of the day and surgery was at 6am next morning...

bodyfortress protein shots-26 g each, an easy way to get protein and tastes great!! sugar free popsicles and s free jello, especially the peach flavor... powerade or vitamin water zero are also great!! best wishes on your journey!!!

keep it up, that is great!!

drained chicken in a can blue cheese or ranch a lil hot sauce=========amazinggggg

So I called the dietian and she is out today so I will ask my fello banana babes....on the puree chart she gave me she made it sound like I should have 24oz of puree foods daily...does that sound correct??? how much fluids should I be drinking daily?? I feel soo weak and feel like I am not getting enough of something....please help p.s. I take a flinstone complete daily and 1 oz liquid Calcium daily

I have done this after cooking my boyfriend dinner one night, he laughed at me, and said its nothing to be ashamed of, youve been on liquids for 2 weeks lol lol

I am also 12 days out and am going to make an egg for breakfast. I was leary too but everyone I talked to just said to chew carefully and it will be fine

wow, that was a very interesting article! glad I chose to have WLS as well...
