i didnt think we were allowed popcorn?


I am not sure if I can have popcorn so I will ask my doctor on Friday when I see him. I know I can't have it now because I am in the full liquid phase. Maybe at week 4 or 5 once I get approval.

Well all doctors tell you different thing and some say you can have coffee some say you can't. Before I left hospital I received a book and it has everything you can and cannot have by the weeks and months. You just have to do what your doctor said to do. This book starts from Phase 1 being the liquids on. I look at calories and portion and if something is gluten free. Also I have Baby bel cheese and that can be salty Gouda original my on the go snack

Thank you, cheese is a good place to go for that salty craving. I wish I had a book that was so detailed like that. You are right, since I have started on this group forum I see that there are a lot of different answers coming from doctors.

Your welcome I really can only tell you what my doctor told me all doctors are a lot different when I tell you what my doctor said it's only by me asking and my experience. But it's always best to do what your doctor tells your to do. My doctor said I can have coffee even had it in the hospital. But I only use it for ice coffee and make my own with my Premier drink and Creamer. But one lady said that her doctor said she can have soda but my doctor told me no soda due to carbonation in the soda my point is that everyone should ask there doctor and just do what there doctors want them to do. But take care and I know that your weight loss will be a successful.

One thing I am finding interesting is how different the protocols are between different doctors. Some say no coffee, no caffeine some say it's ok. Some no catheter or drain, some get both. I had a 1 night say but my niece had 3. Some people begin having to shovel down Protein Drinks in the first day, some gradually ease into the shakes.
I just find it interesting that we have the exact same type of surgery but different protocols.
Don't ya'll?

      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!!
