I'm 5 weeks post op. I'm getting bored with what I've been eating. I am transitioning into reg food. I'm able to eat and tolerate solid grilled chicken breast! Yay! Anyhow looking for healthy pouch friendly snacks. Please share your delicious ideas!

I had tilapia about 3 weeks post op.

Drinking gets easier. I'm only 4 weeks post op and can pretty drink normal sized sips. Obviously I can't chug but it's a lot easier to get my liquids in. You will be feeling better soon I promise. I never thought I would feel "normal" so soon but I do!

SF cheesecake pudding mix. Add SF cool whip. Its so good!! Not exactly a cake but you could add some sprinkles and stick some candles in it!

Wishing you the best!! And welcome

I feel the same way. I have been heavy since I was old enough to talk and whine...my dad shut me up basically with McDonald's behind my mom's back. My food addiction grew from there. My after school snack at 3 was a full sandwich. That was followed by a huge Southern style home cooked meal every night at 5 sharp. And that's how I've been living ever since. I'm 27 now and have a daughter. I do not want her to rely on food like mama did. She was my true inspiration to hve surgery. Its been 4 weeks since surgery and I'm 35 lbs lighter. I miss food. I miss soda. But I don't want to miss a single thing my lil girl does in life. And that's why I eat healthy and exercise every single day. Best of luck to you )

When was your surgery Dee? I'm terrified of fried foods. I'm 4 weeks post op.

Say whhhat!

I had the same problem. Its been two weeks off my blood pressure medicine and the dizziness is gone! Yay! Hope you feel better soon

Good luck!!!

Thanks ladies

What do you guys take for headaches? I've had a massive 1 for 2 days!!

She doesn't mind

My surgeon said no straws for 6 weeks. Its funny how different each surgeon instructs us post op. A lot of it is just their own beliefs. I say if you feel comfortable doing it and its helping you drink, use one.

Maybe baked ones...I won't eat deep fried wings. I think that would definitely cause dumping

Good idea! My daughter is 19 months and eats those as well.

Those soft pretzels with cheese inside, hot wings, Buffalo chicken everything, Reese's cups, McDonalds sweet tea.......

i made the mistake of trying one of my daughters goldfish crackers. Went down so easy. Problem is they are addictive! Get them away from me!

Thank you.

Water bothers my pouch too. It has to be freezing cold for no adverse effects. Hope you feel better!

What kind do any of you use? Having a bM scares me!! Very painful

Let me know about that Chinese too! I'm dying for some. Lol
