Hi! So my program says wait 3 months before eating raw veggies. I'm seriously craving some though. How long did you wait to eat them? And if you ate them before your doctor approved, how did it go?

I would love that! Thank you!

Hi! So I see a lot of bariatric patients drinking all kinds of different protein drinks after surgery. My surgeon and dietitians have all said that anyone who goes to their clinic can only have their specific brand of protein or unjury. They've said after surgery our bodies don't tolerate other brands well because they're not whey based. But if that's true then how do other patients who've gone to other doctors tolerate them? They're not doing the surgery any differently. Im just wondering if this is a ploy to get us to buy their stuff, or if there's any truth to this? I'd like to buy pre-made shakes because their protein powder makes me nauseous. Thanks!

Hello! I'm a 29 year old woman who just had surgery on the 14th of this month, and it went well. However, I'm absolutely starving, to the point where all I can think of is food! It's driving me crazy. No matter what I'm doing, no matter how I try to distract myself, I can't stop thinking about food, and my stomach is growling constantly. I've been having issues with protein, since I can't seem to stomach the sweet powders, but I did get some in today with some broth. I just don't know how I'm going to make it until next Wednesday, when I'll hopefully be approved for soft foods. Did anyone else experience this? How did you manage?
