I succumbed to my salty crunchy wants and ate a small handful of peanuts. My friend said I'm not allowed to eat that until after 3 months post-op. I'm only 2 weeks out. No issues or pain but I can hear my tummy rumble a little. I knew I shouldn't have but didn't think it would be that big of a deal considering I ate very slowly. Should I worry? Should I call the doc and admit to my mischievous?

It can be dangerous while you are still healing. Eating off plan - especially nuts- can cause significant complications and even be life threatening. If you have pain or don't feel right - call your surgeon right away. You may not have any issues but it's so important to stick to your surgeon's instructions.

Don't do it again your stomach is still healing! What if a peanut chunk gets caught in where the staples are between a piece of stomach lining? Then you would get a bacteria which can do many things that can kill you... Follow the rules so you won't have problems down the road

I got a peanut stuck at 3 months post-op and found out I had a stricture. Apparently peanuts do not digest very well. Keep an eye out for issues and don't do it again.

@@godarmourbearer, they are correct but I did the same thing at two weeks, only with popcorn. No issues but the ones on this site did warn me afterwards so I stopped. On my month check up, however, my doctor told me I was healed inside and free to eat anything, within reason, and when I told her about the popcorn, she said it was fine. Lol. It's so funny how before surgery I would eat whatever and now, almost 2 months post op, I can only eat a few things and I find myself having to force myself to eat. My whole mindset has changed. Still try to do Protein first, but I am recently finding I am not hitting my goals of 80-100 grams if I don't drink at least 40 grams of it. I just can't eat like I used to.... I know that's the point of the sleeve, but I'm SHOCKED that my whole mindset has changed and I eat to survive, not live to eat. I still haven't had fried foods, sweets, Pasta, rice, potatoes, or bread. Funny thing is, I don't miss any of that. I hope it doesn't change. Any of you long time sleevers, did you ever go back to eating "poorly", or non nutritional foods?

Good things come to good people.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
