5days out & eating Hard food, is it to fast?

[M_Bigga_M 0]

Well I got sleeved on Monday morning and I?m already eating cheese dip and pizza. My son want to know why I didn?t save him any I told him cause he was sleeping when I ate it. Is this too soon being I?m only 5 days out. Well I?ve being eating this since day 3 of the surgery in my head. When I told him that?s where I have been eating it he fell out laughing.:001_tt2::001_tt2::001_tt2: Well the way I see it I can eat what every I want it my head without felling guilty.

Well the SF Jello has been tasting like so many different things the last 5 days. Well I?m going strong and hasn?t deterred from my orders yet. I?m feeling great too. I thought it would get some laughing too. :wink1:

Yes. this is WAY too soon to be eating such things......

First off.. and I'm not trying to "ugly" here..... but why did you have this surgery?? I believe most of had it to "lose weight" to get "healthy" to learn how to eat "better".... to CHANGE our lives.

If these were any of your reasons, pizza is not a good choice to eat. I've had one slice of pizza since my surgery ( 14 months ago) and that didn't sit well with me. You eed to start "thinking" healthy as well..... and eating Healthy... that doesn't mean that down the road you can't have this, but this is way too soon.

I am glad that you haven't suffered from vomiting... I was in the hospital for the first 5 days because of it..... but now as a hindsiet.. I'm glad I did have the reaction from food like I did... it helped to get on the right path.

And beside not being a good "choice"... your stomach has just gone thru MAJOR surgery, treat it a bit delicate for the first month or so. They give us a diet for a reason, not to make us suffer, but to help with the healing as well.

This wasn't meant to be harse or judgemental... just voicing my concerns and my feelings....

G'luck to you

:ohmy:well the way I feel about the pizza and dip is to STOP IT:mad0:!! No more bad choices of food. This is a TOOL to get you to eat right and make smart choices. Why would you go through all that major surgery only to sabatage you surgery:thumbdown:??? You got to grow and start choosing the right foods. I am 6 1/2 weeks out and I had a slice of healthy pizza last night that I made myself. It was fat free cheese and turkey pepperoni with mushrooms and diced tomatoes , no salt . It was a baby slice and I had a salad. My kids bugged me for pizza, so we went to Walmart and purchased the ingredients. It was cheaper than pizza and most importantly , I made it so I know whats in it. It will come times when you will crave your favorite foods but you will have to decide what is best for you. Thats what will keep you healthy. You are now the role model of the house and your kids will follow you with healthy choices. Please try to pick healthy and watch your portions because this is a lifestyle change not just a fad. Welcome to the sleevers club. :001_tt2:

Ok, I am thinking that you are telling us that you are only eating these things in your head, right? Am I getting your humor correctly? If not, knock it off!!! No pizza 5 days post op!

You just about blew me away until I realized you were kidding. Perhaps in the beginning you will long and desire for the foods you once had. Remember, we are on the path to wellness, we must choose wisely and in moderation. I guess your fantasy food in your head idea is substaining you for now. Later on maybe you can work on good choices in your head..It's a process..and I am a babe in the woods as well. With that being said, I don't want to tourture myself by thoughts of things that woud sobatage my mission. I know you were just playing. IN my head I think of when I can go on mushies and what that will be.

That was funny. Just keep it in your head.

Bravo to you and your aility to stay on track yet have a sense of humor.

[KabinKitty 10]

I LOVE your sense of humor...:lol0:...I GOT it, but I had to reread the first part twice! I thought he DID NOT eat pizza 5 days out!!! :001_tt2:

Good for you for following your doctor's orders. There are so many WORSE things that you could eat than pizza!!! I won't BEAT...:wink1:... you up for dreaming of it! Hey WHATEVER gets you through the liquid part of your recovery!!

HUGS!! :001_tt2:

You can have pizza some day. That's how I'm thinking of all of my favorite things -- pizza, philly cheese steaks, even beer: some day, and in moderation.

Thinking of it that way helps a bit with the "deprived" feeling. Lifelong deprivation doesn't tend to make me succeed on diets. Moderation, on the other hand -- I can do that! And I can certainly wait until I'm healed (although if the weather gets nice and I get my new ride... temptation!)

Thanks to the ones who got the joke and to the ones who was truly showing genuine concern for my health. To clear things up, I haven't ate any of that physically it was a joke I told to my son and wife and they thought it would get yall laughing.

I truly went through with this surgery to become healthier and to loose weight not my humor.

My NUT said I cant start the full liquids four days out, but cause of shared stories I’ve read with other doctors wanting a full 7 to 10 days , I’ve decided to just stick to the SF Popsicles and broth for the 7 days.

Thanks Again for all the advice.

I knew you were teasing, and everyone on here is genuinely concerned for one and all. Your humor was funny, but as you see..some of us jumped on you for your well being and safety..what a wonderful group of people on here!!!..keep those funny's coming...hehe!

[Catyroses 1]

I'm glad you were only joking. I was going to say - get yourself to the hospital asap. You have surely done some awful damage. But I do get the "in your head" stuff. I was sleeved on April 19th. I remember having actual and vivid dreams about eating hugee amounts of "real" food just a few days out. And I fantasized about it too for a good week or two. And then, things kind of normalized. Especially when I discovered that no matter what my imagination was holding on to, my sleeve just won't stand for none of that! At least not very much of that anyway.

[Tiffykins 672]

Mister you almost had me pulling out my soapbox LOL ! ! ! I eat lots of yummy stuff in my head. Luckily, I can keep it out of my mouth.

[mommaof4yoopers 3]

you're a hoot. you'll do well keeping your sense of humor like that!

[stcyt 15]

About 1 week post op I had a nighttime dream:sleep: that I was eating a HUGE bowl of fruit loops.:thumbup: It was cold and sweet I and was shoveling it in. I got a little distracted and looked away. When I looked back my bowl contained three grains of rice. :Cry:
