I'm really hungry and bough some tripe, but now i'm thinking it might not be chewable. Has any BANDit here eaten that? I do t wanna touch it until I know.

take small bites, chew alot (to mush) and go slow (also moist would help)

should be no issue...

I have no idea what Tripe is, but is it allowed on your post op diet? It's definitely not a liquid or mushy food. According to your profile, it's only been a little over 2 weeks since your surgery.

Tripe is an animals stomach lining

I had a cup of menudo the other day just to take the craving away! It went down fine. I just took small bites and chewed the hell out of it. :)

I would put it through the blender on puree.... Tastes the same and no worries.

Probably not a good idea without pureeing it. It doesn't chew down into mush, no matter how much you chew it. Would not be a fun food to get stuck!

I only eat my mother's tripe. When I told her this past June that I was getting banded, I knew right then that I would never again have her tripe. I knew it because tripe is not something that could be chewed completely. I would not even dare try it! Good luck to you.

No :( it's not allowed, but my only other options were vegetable rice, potatoes, spare ribs (yumm) and chicken cutlet.

The tripe was surprisingly SOFT and I was able to chew it to a mush. I only had 3/4 cup. Just enough to hold me out until we came back to civilization and I could get something else. My whole day was planned out, I was supposed to stay home all day and cook my chicken Soup for the week while doing laundry and go food shopping but hubby had made plans in his HEAD that I only found out about this morning.... That's why I wasn't prepared. But it won't happen again.

What's menudo? As far as I know, it's a boy band from the 80's ;)

Or "change" in your pocket. LoL

It's a Mexican Soup that is usually tripe and hominy with spices.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
