Solids too soon!!!



Recommended Posts

So I made a big mistake! My daughter was bugging me for a happy meal today so I got her one. I was taking it out for her and took a bite of her burger without even thinking about it! I just had my surgery on 2/7, now I'm panicing! Did anyone else eat solid food way too soon? If so did anything happen? I will never do this again! I feel fine but I'm scared.

I would not think 1 bite will kill you but please don't do it again. Your stitches inside need time to heal,

You made a mistake, don't beat yourself up over it. Get on the phone and let your doctors office know and then get right back on your post op diet.

It's important that you keep your doctor informed, they can take measures to protect your band.

You need to get back on track with the post op diet, I know it sucks but your stomach needs to heal.

Good luck to you. & PLEASE call your doctor.

Please be sure you can still get liquids down. Hamburger rolls are prime stuck material.

Thanks, I started drinking Water right away and I've been fine

I did the same thing! Without even thinking about it, I took a bite of my kids taco and this was only about a week surgery. I panicked, but everything was fine. Those old habits are tough to break.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
