I have been craving a soft taco from taco bell about a wk and it's driving me crazy, I am so attempting to just taste a piece to stop the head craving, have u guys tried something that u were craving I am 3 wks post op

I would DREAM about grilled cheese and tell my brother he was eating KFC and macaroni the wrong way!! Hang in there. It's not forever; just for now. Distract yourself somehow. 3 weeks out is just too soon. You'd probably get sick and really regret it.

Not so far...almost 6 weeks.

How far are u out @@rte837

Have u tried anything @@Crosby that u weren't supposed to

I guess my " not so far" wasn't clear...but no.

Don't do it! The process the surgeons have to use to fix a ruptured pouch is disgusting. Mine went into great detail with me prior to releasing me from the hospital. It is a full open surgery, nothing laparoscopic and it takes months to heal from. Stick with the program, you will be glad you did!

I had laparoscopic rny done @@aelovelady

Yes, but if you rupture your pouch by eating things you shouldn't thry will have to cut you open, from breastbone to belly button to clean you out and repair the damage.

Oh I understand

I've been finding the head hunger the hardest part of post op recovery. I am two weeks out and nothing I have eaten yet had given me any trouble, but it's also given me a false sense of security. Last night my head hunger was maddening so I had 2 tbsp of Cheerios in milk. It was so good, I wanted so badly to gorge myself on a regular bowl like I use to.

And don't get me started on the temptress that is shwarmas....

Did anything happened when u ate the cheerios, did u have the rny done @@kcadoret I am shock ur stomach tolerate it at 2 wks, I am only 3 wks out and at 2 wks I was sick to my stomach I could barely eat

Hi @@pingram11 Yes I had rny done on March 26th and beside the one time I forgot and gulped Water I've felt nothing from my new guts! I've tried a few things I shouldn't have (including a crouton and bite of pizza) and have had no ill effects, I've been able to eat 1/2 cup of food at a time. I was really looking forward to the added tool of dumping syndrome to regulate what and how much I ate, but with the way things are going I don't think I'll be experiencing that It's a catch 22 I suppose!

Have to be cuz if I drink a gulp my stomach starts to hurt l, I haven't tried nothing that I wasn't suppose to so idk if I would get dumping syndrome,

Good on you! You're stronger than I

U have to follow the instructions if u want to b successful @@kcadoret believe me I b wanting to eat stuff I anit supposed to but then I think about the outcome
