I took about 3 bites.. and i was done. I did not dump, get sick, but felt super full super fast... and to be honest it didnt even taste as good and i remember from before surgery.. So.. I am calling this.. did, done, gone.. no desire to have again LOL

I don't think it's going to kill you. It's still within the portion size we're supposed to have and still within the daily allotment of calories. No worries.

It’s amazing how once we start giving these bodies the high quality fuel they deserve they balk at the crap we used to feed them on a consistent basis. I made one of families favorite potatoe recipes for Easter and thought I’d try just a “bit” at dinner last night . I was feeling awful the rest of the night . Full on case of the foamies and that’s only the 2nd time that’s happened to me. First time was right after back on full foods and I over did it . I agree, it didn’t taste near as good as I built it up in my head and no where near the price I paid .

I tried eating pizza a couple of times in the past 8 months (literally.. I think 3 times). We used to eat pizza 3x a month, at least. The last time I ate an extremely thin slice very, very slowly and I still felt horrible after. Stomach pain, headache, nausea. I think it's the dense bread. I can eat crackers (in small quantities) but eating a whole roll or bun, or a sandwich, or slice of garlic bread makes me feel ill. I just don't even try anymore.

Probably better off that way, bread used to be one of my downfalls, especially homemade or Italian. Now I don't eat any, quite a change, but you know, I'm not tempted anymore.

You need to recognize the 'want' of these foods, not saying never, but just don't partake - it leads to head games, you must take care here and honor the beginning process as THE ONLY TIME you will have to maximize the skills and the losses you will need to sustain your success down the road. It changes.

You can just about ingest anything and everything right now in a small quantity and lose, false sense of security and success.

Go watch Dr Duc Vuong on youtube, watch one every day for reinforcing the rules.

I've had pizza a couple times since surgery (usually not even a full slice), but it is definitely not as satisfying and doesn't taste as good as before.

I've tried a handful of things- bites here and there. It is a blessing and a curse that my stomach seems to tolerate everything wonderfully.

      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!!
