Just want to take a bite of solid food



Recommended Posts

Please use your common sense.

Eating sticky candy two weeks out, before beeing cleared for pureed and soft foods is an invite for complications. Even at the pureed and soft food stage, candy is not allowed.

With that mindset you could eat chocolate for your liquid stage, since it melts in your mouth. But is it in accordance with your plan? I bet not.

Your nut most likely wants you to eat a healthy, hi Protein and low carb diet. It never includes sweets!! Candy is hi carb and empty calories and can get stuck in your staples. Ask your surgeon or nut for their opinion if you don't believe me or the other people trying to help you.

And this is a public forum where the vets are very helpful. You might want to listen to the people who succeeded already. They did it right.

I wish you luck and hope you don't end up with the people who didn't take advantage of their wls and didn't lose weight or gained it back, at the bad end of the percentage spectrum.

You have to work for it.

I agree! I only want it when I smell it! But I'm way to full feeling all the time

I was instructed to use Flinsto nd Vitamins?


flinstone vitamins tend to be chewables.

I passed on them because most of the mv's I found contained Calcium carbonate.

So I went with Jamieson chewable mv's w/o calcium and take calcium separately.

Having no luck finding calcium citrate chewables anywhere. Found liquid calcium carbonate in liquid form but far more expensive than its worth and tastes like barium Fluid.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
