Are Bugles and pretzels on your list of approved foods?

Other crunchy things you can turn into mush: Cookies, french fries, Ritz crackers, potato chips, Hershey bars . . . but this isn't the way most of us eat post-sleeve, and for good reason. This is the time to be adopting healthy habits and learning a new way of thinking about food, not plotting ways to get high-carb crap into your body.

Understood. Thanks. A little positivity goes a long way. Clearly you didn't hit a bump in the road. I was asking for help not ridicule.

Where are you in the food stages on your plan? At 13 days post-op, I was still in full liquids!

You're 3 weeks out. Are you supposed to be having anything crunchy? And you're not having "crunchy" if you're just sucking on them anyway? And where's the Protein?

And DON'T tell me I'm not being 'positive'. You just had major bariatric surgery and have a post surgery diet you're supposed to be following. Grow the hell up.

I don't know. My dr didn't say anything. He asked how I was doing and told me to keep it up

You don't have a plan that you are supposed to follow post-op? Really?

I do it was one week out but that's it. There are different stages. But I'm not sure where I am on the stages. He didn't say....at the end of the day sound like I was wrong. Won't do it again. :)

You're not positive. I asked a question. You got all defensive. You're kind of an angry elf. I'm not worried I got this. I didn't have the info I needed now I do. Best of luck to you.

Well, you have a mouth. We know that because you've been sucking on Bugles and pretzels with it. Here's a concept: Why not ASK your surgeon what your plan is?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
