I thought they were trolls

When ever I would read crazy posts about what people were eating right after surgery I thought it must be trolls. Surely their surgeon would send them with some specific diet instructions. Today at my 1 week post op nutrition class, one guy (who had the same surgeon as me so I know he got a million handouts and talks about what and when to eat) told everyone what he had been eating (keep in mind should have been Clear liquids only), the NUT's jaw dropped. In fact she went and called the surgeon to come over and meet him before class was out.

They might be real people...with decent surgeons... mind blown. :o

I am slow to move to full/semi liquid stage that I could have started a few days ago as my sleeve is still tempermental. Tomorrow I will start 1/2 ounce of Greek yogurt... maybe.

      You calling me judgmental and "holier-than-thou" is the only ridicule I see going on in this thread. Someone talked about "cheating" post-op. I explained how TO ME "cheating" post-op is nothing like "

      But eating the wrong things early on post-op isn't "cheating" like cheating on a diet. It can cause SERIOUS risk to your health like leaks and abscesses. I can certainly understand the desire to eat c

    I still don't see how that is even possible. When I first began eating food I used an empty pudding cup as a portion size and even at that I couldn't eat even half of it.

    Wait, am I missing something? You don't actually say what the guy was eating in your post.

    I am more intrigued to hear how he could even eat anything. I was on liquids for 2 weeks. Even now 10 weeks post op I still have pain when I eat.

    Was he having a good old Big Mac alongside with a liter of diet coke?

    Sorry for the suspense. He eats 3 raw eggs a day, a full can of clam chowder, 2 cans of potted meat, whole Beans and salsa. Some other stuff, both large portions, solids, spicy stuff.

    She was going over foods, and he would be like how about______, because I have already been eating that and it seemed fine.

    She should have told him "Have patience, young Grasshopper".

    First wow, there is no way I could have handled that, but then you have to think he has problems that far surpass the surgery.

    My only theory was he must just be eating a bite at a time all day long to get it all in. And have a sleeve of steel.

    I can't imagine my sleeve is a diva, she gets mad if I sip my broth too fast.
