Had my 6 week follow up today. My surgeon said I was ok to eat popcorn at 4 weeks. He said by then the stomach is healed enough for any food.

Yes I was told the pills were ok to take. I take muscle relaxers for a back issue and old take those the day after surgery.

Help with soft food start
mark74 replied to Nicole711's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sure you could contact the doctors office and they could help you. My soft foods didn't include tuna chicken or deli meats. Just eggs cottage cheese beans canned fruit with no skin as long as it was in its own juices -

Better get use to the shakes your going to need to drink them for awhile. Try the eas pre made advant edge. They are not as thick as others but have less protein so you'll need to drink more. They are low calorie too. -

My dietician said just focus on my protein. I don't have room for anything once I get my protein in at each meal -

October Sleevers, how are you doing?
mark74 replied to The New Kel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 5 weeks post op down 43 lbs. Doing great adding red meat this week had chili made with roast instead of ground beef. I had some issues with deli ham nit settling on my stomach right also had some salami settle weird. I thought it was because they were smoked but ate some deer summer sausage that was smoked. No problems there. Glad too I love using my smoker! -
Just be smart in your decisions after the surgery. I'm 5 weeks post op and my wife is 6. We have been out to eat a couple times just split a meal. Then have leftovers still for another meal or 2.
