I appreciate everyone's positive and negative comments.

Dixie,

How are you doing? This is a hard physical and mental journey. I think most people here realize that. None of us are perfect...we wouldn't be here if we were!

I can't really speak to this because I haven't been sleeved yet, but if I were, I'd want to be more conservative than the doctor's orders, just to make sure I was healing ok.

BREAKING NEWS......deh deh deh deh (news noises)......NEIGHBOR STABBED AND KILLED BY RECENT WLS PATIENT!!!! PATIENT INSISTS IT WAS ON DOCTORS ORDERS......NEIGHBOR FOUND WITH A FORK STUCK IN THEIR CHEST....

LOL You can cut just about anything with a fork if you want to :) You just have to buy good forks!

LOL....that was hilarious!

I love burgers, or at least used too. I was sleeved 12/17/12 and absolutely cannot tolerate beef. I do have bread though and it does cause discomfort. I feel that if you question a food choice, you know it wasn't the best.

Curious...were you given dietary recommendations? Most of us were given a specific timetable for introduction of new foods and solid food (dense Protein & veggies) not allowed until about week 6. Prior to that it is a slow introduction from liquids to pureed food, then soft foods, then slowly toward full solids.

Most of us have also been told that for weight loss, stay away from white bread, Buns, sugar, Cookies, cakes, white rice and white potatoes.

You hit the double whammy here with firm solids and half a bun very early in the game and that is why you are getting a lot of feedback. It's not to be mean, but certainly there are risks when your stomach is still healing, that suture line takes time to seal up and there is also inflammation from the surgery itself.

The chili is a better choice than the cheese burger and bun. Later on you will be able to tolerate the burger but I would say NO to the bun.

Yes. Liquids for 2 weeks. Soft/purée for 2 weeks. Then regular food.< /p>

So being 3 weeks out is a bit early for the introduction of solid Protein. Even if you can tolerate it, it's not a good choice. Give it a couple of weeks, and then proceed. Make sure you chew everything really well.

You are not nuts and if you want the burger and can tolerate it then eat it. Obviously you should watch it as far as eating that kind of stuff because you don't want to sabotage yourself with bad habits, but you know that already. Obviously, you should follow Dr's orders. If things are going well for you otherwise as far as food intake - then I hope it was the most delicious burger you ever had:)

I was eating solid Proteins at 2 weeks out... All doctors are different and have a different opinion. My advise is Don what YOUR doctor says and dont use this forum as medical advise

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
