Question

goldenbarbie · December 27, 2016

Has anyone had banana pudding about 2 1/2 weeks post opp? My mom made some and I was wondering if a spoonful or two would hurt my sleeve. It's way to late to contact my surgeon. Please be respectful when writing a support response. I wouldn't ask if I wasn't concerned. It's a very thin material but I just want to make sure the sugar won't do anything. Maybe it's not even worth the risk. But I do have apple sauce everyday and it has sugar, yet it has not affected me.

It should be ok. Remember, small portions. Eat slowly. Just remember to watch your calories. You had the surgery to loss your weight. Hope you succeed.

The easy answer is to say it will be fine, and in all honesty it probably will be. My understanding, and I'm new to this too, is that sugar free is what we are suppose to strive for as well as watch our portion size. I only 6 days post op but I think by my week 2 I can have sugar free pudding. Not sure if it helps but I wish you all the will power in the world to make the right decision for yourself.

Thank you Suzie, I had about 2 tablespoons. It took me 30 minutes to eat it. I was careful in case of anything and I'm actually satisfied, since I couldn't have anything for the Christmas dinner that was made, this made me very happy

Thank you spirited one, I'm about 18 days post opp. It was not sugar free. But I deff controlled myself portion wise. Good luck with your journey, mine was a little hard my first couple of days I hope yours is going well
