Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Where are you on your journey? Pre-op? Post-op? If post-op, how far? I would normally say not to worry too much and just to get right back on track but if you are super-recently post-op I would REALLY be careful with things like croutons that can be kind of "rough" and/or "sharp"...especially on a healing tummy.

Moving forward, if you are looking for something crunchy...try nuts or Quest Protein chips.

Best of luck!

Be really careful. You are still healing and you don't want to damage your staple line. I remember missi g the chewing sensation. If you have a Sonic near you try to get just a cup of crushed ice from them. It has a really good texture and you can chew it up

The chips are salty and taste a bit like cardboard. You can have them when you are cleared by your surgeon.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
