Wow I've got questions for ya Firday was 2 weeks since surgery

If you look at my food journal you'll see what I find amazing. I started mushies on Friday and this weekend I ate canned venison, pizza,broiled cod,cheese and venison sausage. I don't think of these as mushies. Had no problems eating them though.

I drank 5 glasses of wine on Saturday night at party with past co-workers. I know that wasn't smart.

Also cals are way up to about 1400 day. Is this acceptable?

What are mushies?

Could I have damaged anything? I don't think so, and feel good.

What should one be consuming 2 weeks after surgery?

As far as streghting my pouch shouldn't I have thrown up because of over stuffing?

Did I over stuff?

Any advice please

Calories: 1400 is kind of high for every single day. My doc wants me to stay within 800-900, but i don't because that is just insane...i'd rather lose slowly and enjoy food so i stay under 1200 daily. I always have a "cheat" day so that day i go higher. That's just what works for me.

What are mushies? Each doctor is different and allows different things. Mushies for me were mashed potatoes, yogurt, creamed spinach, Soups. tuna salad, etc were "soft solids"

Could I have damaged anything? It seems unlikely from what you wrote.

What should one be consuming 2 weeks after surgery? Didn't your doc give you a list of foods that are ok to eat? if not, call him and get one. I was on liquids for a week and then mushies for a week, then soft solids for 4 weeks.

As far as streghting my pouch shouldn't I have thrown up because of over stuffing? Did I over stuff? In the beginning i was always hungry...for at least 8 weeks. It was torture..this is when willpower really has to win because if you eat the wrong foods daily you will hurt your band. I would use this as a time to get the info you need from your doctor and follow his advice.

Today:

b: instant coffee & oatmeal with pb

l: lean cuisine pizza

d: spanish chicken that i cooked in red sauce (drumsticks) with potatoes and Beans. So yummy.

s: if needed i'll have a weight watcher dessert.

Gym: the last two days i went to cardio & toning classes at lucille roberts. i literally had to ice myself in order to walk afterwards!! lol. I'm going to do the elliptical today, but I'll take it a little easy.

if you can lose on 1400 calories a day - i see no harm, but for me i can't...i float around 1000-1220 a day on avg.

mushies can be: ricotta bake, refried Beans, cottage cheese, hummus, egg salad, hearty Soups (liquified down) like lentils, oatmeal,.

i'm doutful you did any damage, but if your suppose to be on mushies - i would stay on them; 2wks out your still healing.

good luck!!

b- 1 boiled egg (made egg salad w/) on wasa cracker

l- half roasted veggie sandwhich (one slice of whole grain bread) & small cup of Tomato basil Soup

d- small bowl of kung pao beef (very little rice/ extra veggies)

s- 1 oatmeal Protein cookie

**my appetite is ferocious it seems, got a fill scheduled next monday**

Every surgeon is so different. Mine kept me on liquids for 4 weeks, and mushies (tuna, cottage cheese, oatmeal) for 2 weeks. Also I cannot drink for 6 months after surgery. I thought I would die, but have gotten used to everything! My problem is that I still have to watch to not eat too fast. I could never lose on 1400 calories per day. I have to stay under 1200 to lose, but again everyone is different. Talk to your doctor--he should have a dietcian or someone in his office who can talk to you about what to eat.
