Eating after surgery



Recommended Posts

I went back and re-read the entire 2 pages and fail to see where anyone including myself was rude to you but did not see it. Perhaps you can point it out.

I hope you are over your daydreaming cravings; surely someone coming up and complementing you for how much weight you've lost will satisfy your needs much more than a volcano chalupa or taco :)

I'm hungry too. I'm 7 days post op and I want to chew on something. I was wondering if anyone "cheated" before there time? It's hard to do when you so use to eating. I've been asking people that I personally know that have had the sleeve lap or reroute and all have given me different answers but they are dare Devils lol how ever I can say when they did "cheat" it was very soft food like mash potatoes baby food smashed Beans etc and they are fine. I may cheat lol I'm really thinking about it cause this is torture lol

I did. I got sick of the sweet stuff all the time around day 5 and tested some hummus. It was great. I had about a spoonful. I figured of I could tolerate thick stuff like pudding, why not hummus of the same consistency? It was fine, but I didn't take it too far after. I also started my purée diet a couple days early with purée grilled chicken with honey mustard dressing mixed in. Wonderful! Lol

@berg, please do not leave the support group due to one comment which was perceived to be rude. I say this for several reasons:

1. Everyone needs support through this process

2. No two people are going to respond the same to a question or comment, because we are all different

3. You have a choice to skip over those comments which are not helpful or rude or mean, etc. etc.

4. Someone may have the same question or thought as you.

5. Written word leaves out so much nonverbal, that it is often hard to decipher what was meant or how it was meant from simply the text alone. But you can also take it at face value, some comments will be more blunt than others. But when we get to the point where the struggle is real, sometimes what we need is bluntness.

Regarding your question, the best is to follow guidance by your physician. I was not allowed beef until recently. I am over 4 months out. Just be gentle with yourself, and don't be surprised if what looks like just a little bit is impossible to manage. Take it slow...

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
