I'm 4 weeks post op and have a 5 and a 10 year old. While I'm on medical leave, I've also been doing a lot of crock pot meals. The kids and the hubby have been warned we're ALL going to be eating healthier moving forward - but that doesn't mean they can't have what they want once in a while. They ordered cheese steaks and nachos a few nights ago and honestly, the smell grossed me out. So did the stromboli my husband got. While I'm also having a hard time finding foods I like, I have not been craving junk food or sweets - once my downfall.
I'm on "pourable" Proteins and fruits/veggies now - next week I move up to mushy. My surgeon told me she had a patient that cheated with Doritos and opened her stomach incision and she ended up in the hospital in bad shape. As someone else mentioned, it's not worth it.
