Ate chicken noodle at 3 weeks



Recommended Posts

I guess it depends on how much you ate. Also, was it from a can or homemade? Homemade would probably have a better nutritional value. I'd say as long as you didn't have a lot, and it didn't hurt, it might be OK. But, I'm no Dr & just learning the ropes with the sleeve myself (day 12 post op).

Enjoy & just be careful!

Noodles are carbs...so really not a good idea...

try a low sodium chicken broth with an egg drop in it...or get Unjury soup

Eat whatever your sleeves allows sometimes you need to just have a cheat meal...... Trust me I've had my share cheat meals and I've lost over 200 pounds

Bet you have a lot of insight into WLS and it's successes....would love to hear more from you!!!!!!!!!!!!

My motto is.. If you think it's bad it probably is. Stay on track and one major goal in your new lifestyle should be to stop making food a feel good source.

Good luck ;)

No, PLEASE don't eat whatever your sleeve allows. That's defeats the whole point of losing the weight. At some point we will be able to tolerate chips, Cookies and sodas but that don't mean we should eat them or else why have the surgery. Pasta is carbs and you definitely want to watch/count those BUT occasionally it probably won't hurt. The surgery is a tool ONLY that allows us to make better eating decision by removing those hunger pains that so often lead us to making that "fast food" run, etc., and by severely limiting out intake ability but we have to still consider EVERYTHING that we put in our mouths MAYBE EVEN MORESO THAN BEFORE THE SURGERY! Again, I knew someone that realized that she could eat Gummy worms and she ate and ate and ate them and only lost 40 total pounds and then gained back over 50 and it hasn't even been 2 years yet.

Aaron.. I believe you're one of the few exception to the norm of us WLS people. You're not only a guy, but you're a young guy and things are going to work a whole lot different for you than most everyone here. Cheating doesn't work well if we want to change for the better lifestyle we desire. Most of us have to change completely or this WLS will fail just like all the other things we tried. I refuse to fail so I take cheating very seriously and make myself work hard to remain the person I've made myself into because of VGS

I ate about 4oz. It was homemade and mainly broth. I was feeling very sick and it made me feel so much better.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
