chubilicious

The DR office told me it is ok to eat it but whats concerning to them is possibility of infection if you eat it too soon after the surgery. You are eating raw and your stomach is still recovering. Well i took that chance and was one of the best meals post op

Just ate and it was delicious. Thank u all

Thank you i am getting sashimi so i will be akipping rice. Cant tolerate it either. I am litterally ordering as i am typing this

Is sushi tolerable at seven weeks Out post up?

I was put on mushie foods right out of the hospital and was fine. By day 10 i could probably stomach what you ate but would not dare to put those foods in my mouth. One thing you need to know that nerves in our stomach are numb for a while so the signals we are getting might not be very reliable. You might be injuring the stomach without knowing it. U have a 11 month old so there must be some baby food around the house. My doctor is very lenient since he had me on mushie foods right away but solids are out of the question unyil my 4 th week. Any baked goods even longer. Be careful! Good luck

Hey fellow new yorkers. I was sleeved on January 14. Had my surgery with Dr. Garber in long island. I am down around 46 pounds Including 23 pounds pre-op. The doctor put me on soft mushy foods right after the surgery. I had no problems whatsoever. Gas Pain gone in a couple of days, had no trouble with liquids or protein. Good luck all

I love refried beans and salsa. I add a little low fat cheddar and melt it in the microwave. Very tasty! Humus is my next favorite thing.

I eat shrimp just blend it fine and add some humus. Finger lickin' good

I am only 4 days out. Starting weight before pre op diet 425lbs. Surgery weight 402 or so. 4 days out (current) weight 397. I am getting all my protein and liquids in and started on pureed foods right from the hospital bed. Gas almost gone. Incisions cause no pain except the main one ( belly button) is still a sore area so have not been taking any pain meds since yesterday. I had 3 tsps of pureed turkey for lunch and 3 tsps of tilapia for dinner and it was equivalent to the best meals i have had.. ( my 3 yr old laughed at me because she is used to me eatinga a whole turkey). I know its still early to brag about any progress but if this post can help anyone out there having second thoughts i will be happy. Good luck all

I was given liquids for my first meal (bfast) in the hospital the day after surgery and if you tolarate you are moved to pured/mushie foods for lunch. I actually had tuna and i was scared too eat it. The nurses were encouraging so i gave it a shot and down it went with no problem. So now at home i was told to try introducing all foods as long as they are protein and pured for up to 3-4 weeks. I skipped the clear liquids.

3 days post op here . No major pain issues but gas is still there. I can feel a bubble forming in the lower abdomen and rising to my stomach and then it gets painful. I need to take a big breath in and out to aleviate the pain. I feel like a big air bubble where i just want to somehow deflate myself with a needle . I wish i could at least pass gas but thats been a challenge as well.

I have to take a chewable multivitamin (local pharmacy) and a liquid vitamin D (local vitamin/protein shop).

It is unfair how we loose faster then women. On my pre op diet i started with 425 and 13 days later, day of surgery, i was 396. Look it this way ladies you guys look better when you do catch up with us. Best of luck to all

Thanks i will. Right now its 11:30 in ny and i am getting ready to do my rounds. I am craving Water soooooo bad. They gave moist cotton swabs for my mouth and i wanna suck on one as if it were a popsicle. So far so good
