Ooops, grainy mustard?



Recommended Posts

So I am 3 weeks post sleeve yesterday and today for lunch I brought some roast beef to roll up with mustard. Without thinking, I used my usual grainy/seedy dijon mustard, you know the kind that is basically ALL seeds? I ate about 1/2 a tsp before I remembered I wasn't supposed to be eating seeds!

What are the chances this will get stuck/cause a problem?

More than likely you'll be fine, Just want to avoid getting anything stuck in your staple line this soon after surgery. Pay attention to things the rest of the day and if things start to hurt or seem to get more swollen, reach out to your surgeon/doctors office.

You can eat roast beef 3 weeks post-op? Wow, good for you! I couldn't even do eggs at that point.

@Orchids&Dragons yep! I started "soft" foods this week after purees last week. It's paper thin slices of rare roast, very tender and goes down great! I was able to add soft scrambled eggs in puree phase and had no problems there either.

I hate to say it, but I am one of those people that hasn't had a single problem adding new foods, I just have to learn new portions with each new texture. With the new soft foods it's a HARD stop at 2.5 ounces.

Yes, that sounds like it would be difficult. I'm the opposite, other than liquids/purees, I'm lucky to get to an ounce and a half. My Protein minimum is 75g and it's a good day if I can get half from real foods. The rest is all supplements.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
