I don't get it? PIZZA??



Recommended Posts

I am one week post op and started the mushy stage - I tried to get cottage cheese down and it would not go. I have been testing things, so I tried some bites of pizza and they went down no problem. I know I shouldnt even try, but I am just curious as to why some foods go down that shouldnt?? Anyone else have this issue? I eat cream of wheat, Protein Shakes and Jello fine, then today I tried a brownie bite and it went straight no issue and so when I took a bite of pizza, I thought this will never go, but it did!!! Puzzles me. Any of you out there can relate? I am not going to push it anymore because I am afraid. I also had a huge hernia repair that the doctor said was one of the biggest he had seen. I have 70 pounds to lose.

Wow on mushies already! I guess different doctors have different rules. I was on liquids for the first week and on the start of the second week I started cream Soups and watered down cream of wheat. Anyways, as you go along with the band you will discover that almost ALL unhealthy foods go down the band just fine but please don't sabotage yourself. I hate that I even started eating chips, m&m's and Ice cream a few months ago it really stalled my weight loss, but I am back on track now. I didn't even try junk food until 4-5 months but when I did it was hard to stop. I was so disappointed with myself and felt like a loser!!! So my advice to you is don't tempt yourself with even tasting pizza and brownies because it's easy to get hooked again.

You have no restriction yet, but the reason for the mushies and all is to let your stomach heal and the stitches to adhere, I am not here to preach but don't screw up all you have been through to test things out, you are not ready yet let your stomach heal and don't risk making yourself sick and messing up all the surgery you have worked so hard to get. Good luck in your journey!

I could eat ice cream, creamy yummy fatty Soups, and french fries all day long but I shouldn't so I don't. I was on liquid for 3 weeks. You can split your stiches in the band. Just because you can does not mean you should. It is more of a mental wellness and control then a physical one.

I can pack away a huge hamburger from In N Out if I wanted to, but I can't for the life of me eat an egg. There's just weird exceptions I guess.

Understand completely. One week out and I got sick on Jello. Probably won't ever eat it again. Tried a nut today and no problem. Not pushing it though.

You really need to stay to your doctor's orders. Your stomach is healing. I did liquids for two weeks before I went to soft food. I have found that there are some things I can eat and I'm surprised and others I can't. No rhyme or reason, everyone is different. I can eat a piece of toast but I can't eat pita bread. I can eat pizza and I do but I don't eat as much as I did before the band.

Be careful and let yourself heal before you start experimenting!:thumbup:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
