Just a few questions about what and how I will be able to eat after surgery..

-I hear you have to eat your proteins first, can you do sandwiches? Pizza? Sushi since they are combinations?

-What happens if something is really dry, can you take a sip of water?

-Is it ok to snack? Or do you have to just do the 3 meals a day?

-Do drinks make you full at non meal times?

-How does alcohol affect you?

Thanks!

I personally can not eat sandwiches, pizza etc. Anything doughy. But some people can. I only eat three meals a day and try no to snack. But do sometimes. I never drink so don't know about alcohol. Good Luck.

I can do small sandwiches if I toast the bread. Can usually do a "wrap" easier. Pizza.....can only do if it is a very thin or crispy crust. I do take very small sips with meals or a bite of applesauce to wet my mouth.

I don't drink so don;t know about that one............

Snacks, sometimes. I don't make a habit of it, but might have a half a peach or a no fat cheese "stick" if I need it. But I don't snack routinely. Only if I feel a real need

I would love to help you, but I am still on the liquid post diet. I can tell you that they let me add chicken broth and I got FULL off of it yesterday.

Bread is difficult for most bandsters; it balls up in the stomach and gets stuck. If I go to a barbecue I get a hot dog or hamburger with no bun, to be safe.

I do take a sip of Water if necessary. It's funny, because some people say that is such a no-no, then they say they douse their food with sauce to help it go down. Well, what do they think the sauce is made with? Its main ingredient is water.

No bread works for me! That is my biggest weakness and I am glad that it will be limited!

Can someone explain how I get back to my ticker to edit it?

You can eat hotdogs?

I am one month out and started "normal" foods this past week. I have had chicken, steak, pizza (1 piece), salad, and have not had any problems. I was told no bread or celery and I have not tried either because I don't want to put myself in harms way.

If you click on your ticker it will take you to the site to update it. Once you update you will see the change the next time you post. You don't have to recopy it to have it update.
