@@tess170 Swedish Fish are gooey and can easily stick or cause an obstruction. They could catch on a staple and cause a leak. This isn't about throwing up or dumping - it's about causing a complication. Prescribing liquid diets has nothing to do with insurance approval. Why did you have surgery if you're just going to eat what makes you feel good? Swedish fish are not soft foods by the way. They aren't allowed on my plan EVER. It doesn't matter how small you started out or how much weight you've lost - this is about your stomach healing and avoiding complications. You are an adult and can do what you want - I'm just making sure that others don't read your posts and assume this is okay.

Thanks for the info.

I was hungry and at the moment I did what made feel good. I did not dump or threw up afterwards. I am sick of those sugar free drinks which are ten times sweeter than the regular ones. Most ppl are able to eat soft foods after two weeks of being sleeved. Having steam shrimp or baked fish was okay by me. The only reason why my doctor/hospital is on a strick liquid diet is because of insurance reasons, the more restrictions apply to the package makes it easier to approve and pay for surgeries especially for smaller framed ppl as myself (212lbs 5'4 BMI 35, day of surgery Sept 26, 2016 203lbs and today 189lbs Oct 11, 2016).

You're playing with fire with everything you wrote in this post. Sorry to say that doing what makes you feel good has got us into needing surgery. Also thinking it is for insurance reasons is so very very wrong. You should youtube the surgery to see how raw your stomach is.

I never seen a plan that day "do what makes you feel good when you're hungry." But you are right, you are doing it your way.

Good luck, but dont tell others it is because of insurance reasons because that is a lie and dangerous.

@@amberb1979 Please don't chew and spit out food. This is a form of an eating disorder. It also causes your stomach to start the digestion process and can increase acid production - making you have issues with GERD.

No no.. I was just kidding.. I would never do that.. thankyou though :)

You are not supposed to use gummy Vitamins anymore after surgery, swedish fish are even worse! And two weeks out...

Please don't confuse people doing research.

Feel free to click on your name, then on your IGNORE preferences and add my name to your list. You then won't see ANY of my posts. :)

I don't pay much attention to WHOM I am posting so telling me who I can and cannot reply to probably won't get you the results you'd like.

:D
