Healthier Wanda

I'm only 29 days out of surgery and I started eating real food during the second week slowly and by the beginning of the third week I was totally eating. I've had no trouble with any food at all. When I went back to the doctor at my two week post op checkup, she told me that was fine. I believe it is what your stomach can tolerate. I've had steak, hamburger, shrimp, fish of course, chicken, turkey. So far so good. Just take small bites and chew, chew, chew. Deviled eggs and baked Beans shouldn't be a problem. I'd stay clear of the potato salad. Too many carbs. I have noticed when I do eat carbs, that I tend to have a few stomach issues, so I try to stay clear of them. Hope this helps and have a great time at the cookout. Wanda:smile:

I'm pretty new at all this since I was just banded on April 26. I'm doing good. I haven't thrown up at all. Not sure what your food intake is, but I've been told to stay away from carbs. I eat very little bread, if any, it will be mexican tortillas, if I eat any carbs, I only eat like a table spoon full. I've really been concentrating more on eating Proteins, chewing and drinking and drinking lots. When you feel stressed and want to eat, stick to Jello or sugar free popcicles. Try to eliminate the stress in your life. Hope things get better soon. You can do it! :smile2:
