Cherries Cherries Cherries



Recommended Posts

SO it will be 2 weeks tomorrow and I am doing great. I have learned a lot such as icecream makes me have chill, sweats and the worst sea sickness ever!! (BTW i would normally not have ice cream but I was stuck at a BaseBall Game with nothing to eat). Anything creamy makes me feel overloaded like I licked raw butter. YUK. I recently found that Isopure mixed with fruitpunch flavored crystal lite is the BOMB!

For those who are post op and maybe having problems with going to the bathroom I wanted to suggest CHERRIES. I have been eating a couple cups of fresh raw cherries and it has enough Fiber or something that is making me go. WHICH ROCKS NSV LOL. Just be careful not to swallow the pit as that could really make HUGE trouble. I also found that ground up chicken, hummus and avacado makes a great protien and Fiber dip.

Hope all is well...:crying:

Thanks for the tip on cherries, it will taste better than prunes and I need something.. as for how far out I don't see them being an issue with some docs. I was cleared for all foods after 2 weeks except raw veggies--fruits were fine. Its all up to the doc on that one.

Well, I spent first week completely clear, followed by full for four days before I was cleared for soft foods. I will call tomorrow and ask, lol now that I went back and picked a whole freaking basket. They havent made my tummy hurt or had any weird affect although I agree I should =check. He told me anything that would constitute as mushie and after mastication its mushie. He also said that as of tomorrow I could try chicken and potatoes and carrots etc and see how i felt. I guess I need to call with a list of questions.

The only thing I have had a problem with is icecream and a heavy sause that was at olive garden. That was dumping syndrome 101.

Are you sure you can have that? The skin?

Phat curves - You're lucky - in my plan I'm not allowed any fruit with skin on until at least after 35 days.....peeling grapes and cherries is gonna be one step beyond for me I reckon!!

I do like the sound of the chicken hummous and avocado dip tho!! Very nice.

Ok, so you all have whipped me into a complete crazed frenzy and I just called my DR. office to check on the status of the cherries. The lady said that they do no recommend eating them because of the pit and also because they are high in sugar. I said what about the skin (FYI 2 cups was like 145c and they go along way for snack food and to satify any sweet craving) and she was like the skin is fine but the sugar and if you accidently swallow the pit it could be really bad.

So if that is the reason they say I am going to take the pound bag I just walked around for 2hrs picking and keep a quarter and give the rest away I guess. I am eating about 800-855 calories a day and I have lost 21lbs as of today and as of this morning it is officially 14 days.

*****Please anyone who wants fruit or cherries (which apparently may not be a good idea) PLEASE call your doc first. Every docs diet is different and I do not want anyone to suffer badly because of this post. Like I said I was completely fine but thats me.

xoxoxoxo love to you all

I'm glad you called! Thanks for the update too.

I was just worried because my nut made a pretty big deal about not eating the skin off of fruit for a good long while. I'm glad your doc says that's not a problem for you!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
