I'd agree with you most times Grace, but one thing I was told to avoid at all costs for the first six weeks was throwing up. It causes spasms that can cause leaks. Avoiding throwing up means stick to the foods your doc said to eat, don't over eat, and don't eat too much. It's really important!

OP your doc allows curried rice at less than three weeks out? Most of us are told to avoid rice for several months (I was cleared for rice at 3 in very limited amounts).

You might want to try anti nausea pills if you have any or tums, antacids, whatever you have on hand but I'd skip the vomiting if possible. And rice for some time! :P

totally true, forgot she was so early out.

I thought we were supposed to avoid throwing up at all costs? Especially until totally healed? I know it cant be helped sometimes, but it would scare me.to intentionally induce vomiting.

yeah pretty much, I forgot she was so fresh out of surgery when I typed that. Chances are whats done is done anyway but yeah, when you are fresh post op throwing up isn't ideal.

GIven what she was eating I totally missed how fresh her surgery was as well (read it as 20 weeks) but then I went back and saw it was 20 days and after the horror left me (what surgeon wouldn't be clear about this?) I posted. I can see why you missed it Grace :) Rice is something most surgeons specifically cover because it does cause so many issues for sleevers.

I had it after three months and I only ate 1/4 cup and have to report it was just fine (it was Risotto rice) but I still only eat 1/4 at a time and only when I've had all of my Protein for the day because that removes a meal for me.

Curried what and why are you eating rice? You are only three weeks out should you not be on a pureed/mushy stage? Follow your nutritional guidelines.

I've heard that about rice and bread, that you have to be very careful with quantities because they swell.

I am almost 6 wks out and started eating v. spicy food at about a week and a half, I just couldn't take the blandness anymore (I'm Indian, it is genetic :)) I would buy thai Soup, ask for it extra spicy, then run it through the blender. So I'm pretty sure spice is not contraindicated per se, thank goodness.

Thank goodness! I am 5 days post-op and I love my spicy foods. The bland life has been tolerable but I am sure I can only do another 2 weeks of it before I start rebelling.

to those concerned with how i am feeling thank you for your support...to the others shaking their heads at me...get off my thread i did not come here to be bullied and shamed for making a mistake and i seriously doubt im the first person to eat something off their nutrition list. I made a mistake learned from it and wont do it again but this does not make you better than me for following your guidelines to the T...im also pretty sure that the reason we all had this surgery is because we do STRUGGLE with food so please a little less criticism and a little more support would be greatly appreciated

I'm sure you will be fine. Lesson learned right? I messed up a few days ago and had frozen yogurt. I am still shaking my head at myself wondering why I did that. I was pretty ill from it too. hopefully your stomach isn't too inflamed from getting sick. You may want to go back to softer foods for a day or two just to take it easy.

I am not sleeved, I have a band and I have lived with food getting stuck, all kinds of issues. I eat spicy food daily but the one thing that brings my stomach to a boil is curry. I love Indian food but it does not love me. Even worse if it is prepared outside of your own home. Be careful for the after effects because it could take a day or two. I would revert back to bland and mushy if I were you....oh, and try to get some banana in as well, it should bind you up a bit after the curry storm.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
