I know some of you may think I'm nuts, or that I'm brilliant, who knows, but I am a single mom and I had to feed my kids those first few weeks whether I could eat or not. So 5 days out, I'm frying bacon, eggs, all the goodies. I was about to break and cheat. So I started taking a mouthful of whatever I wanted, chewed it up, then spit it in the trash and rinsed with Water to be sure none went down. It helped with the cravings. I felt it was better than eating and hurting myself.

I am feeling better and it is a new day!!!! I just have to look at as like I only have a couple more days before I go back to the doctor. I just feel like a bottomless pit. I read stuff about people who can't drink a lot or it takes them 3 hours to drink a 8oz Protein Drink and that is so not me. I hope I haven't done anything to my band. I will make it, not cheat and I owe that to ya'll!!!! THANKS!!!!!

Reenie, I tried that with a meatball the other day. All it did was make my stomach even angrier with me since it got a taste but no meatball came its way. It's just easier for me to go without food until Monday when can start mushies.

Glad it worked for you though!

If you are on a full liquid diet you should be able to have cream of wheat. Having been on many after surgery I know that most hospitals serve it but you could call your local hospital & ask. Custard is also on full liquid and has a chewy texture then pudding. I'm just thankful that my doc didn't require this kind of diet. Hang in there you will be done soon and it just a minor bump in the road.:rolleyes2:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
