    monopoly2015 got a reaction from BigTink2LilTink in Spanx for men?   
    I just heard about these shirts and they sound great. Do these work while we are losing weight? Or down the road some to tighten up appearance. Which do you recommend.

    monopoly2015 got a reaction from samuelsmom in Need practical advice (long)   
    Do not just suck it up. Definitely call your surgeon/NUT and explain the situation. They are not going to tell you to suck it up if you are gagging and dry heaving with the Protein powder and new lactose intolerance. They will have solutions and offer options (that they approve).
    To answer your original question: many patients are put on mushies (pureed) day 2 after surgery. Many more are at 1 week. I was at 2 weeks and that is pretty normal. Some doctors do say 4 weeks. But you can have applesauce and yogurt and things (full liquid) well before that.
    The refried Beans at 10 days or whatever you are didn't hurt you. However, call and explain the problem. You aren't negotiating. You are explaining a problem you are having and see what YOUR surgeon/nut recommends.
    We didn't have this surgery to diet and be miserable the rest of our lives. We had this surgery to apply better/newly learned eating habits with the assistance of our tool (sleeve). We do not need to omit everything from our diets. It's now going to be moderation. Instead of a whole pizza, it will be 1 slice. Instead of 6 tacos, it will be 1. Instead of 10 diet cokes, it will be Water.

    monopoly2015 got a reaction from BeagleLover in When is Hot Sauce ok to have post surgery?   
    Yes, definitely if anything doesn't agree with the stomach, then we will obviously not eat that.
    However, I think hot sauce will taste great and go down very easy. I was just wondering why the doctor wanted to stay away from spicy things and acidic things right now. I don't think they can cause ulcers.
    I didn't really know the reasoning. Thats why I was asking. I'm hoping the doctors give me the go ahead next week. We will see when I ask. I will also ask the reasoning too.
    Thanks so much.

    monopoly2015 got a reaction from tak81 in Struggling with the Preop diet   
    It is so hard to day 4. Ridiculously hard. But day 5 seemed much easier. Almost no headaches. Lot more control. Day 6 got easier too. I'm only dropping about 1 pound per day so far. Not getting in all the shakes. Only 2 of the 3 required. broth and Jello too. No food. Terrible diet.

    Was hoping to find out when everyone's doctor allowed you to start the puree diet? Mine is 2 weeks post op.
    Why are there variations for different doctors?
    Thank you

    I would say Holy smokes yes. It's fine. You still in full liquids. Just sip sip sip and have a Couple Protein Shakes or isopures. Don't worry about the meals yet. You are eating less than 300 calories
