Whats The Worst Thing You've Eaten Post Op?



Recommended Posts

I'm on purees, and in the past half hour I just ate one blue cheese stuffed olive. One. I chewed it really well. My only "cheat" so far.

I wouldn't really call it eating - but my doctor took me off my medicine for my knee pain and told me I could take Children's Tylenol. But the 11 and up dosage doesn't help and I would have to take 3 or 4 times that much to get an adult dose - and it is full of high-fructose corn Syrup and it tastes nasty to boot.

I asked the pharmacist if there was a liquid Tylenol for adults and they said it was recalled last year and they haven't yet been able to get any back. They suggested that I go to PCCA's website (http://www.pccarx.com) to find a compounding pharmacy and have them make me some. I'm going to call them and see if I can get some compounded for me.

Just be careful with those compounding pharmacies. The one in Mass is what started this whole meningitis outbreak. They are not as regulated as other pharmaceutical companies. Do your homework. Just want you to be safe!

If you get the "Junior" chewable acetaminophen (the Walgreen's brand is cheaper than Tylenol, and tastes pretty good), it isn't loaded with sugar.

Was this done as an experiment or lapse in will power or something else? If i were totally to eat something sugary' date=' I would eat an apple fritter. I can't say there has been any desire for one though.[/quote']

Every Sunday morning, when I get off of work, I stop at a local donut shop and get donuts for my family. Pre-op, I would always buy 3 apple fritters for myself, and eat them all. Now, the thought of an apple fritter makes me nauseous. I still stop and get the donuts for my fam, though.

Here is one family sized bag of Doritos.....after being crunched up in the blender. It wouldn't take up much room in the stomach. 1600 calories in that little cup.

I had like 4 bites of cheesecake. It was good, but it hurt me like 10 min layer. Right now I can't handle things that sweet and rich.

Worst thing ive ever eaten???

That would be one helluva long list, but to keep it short...

Today I had a sugar cookie and tonight I had a bit of flourless chocolate cake. On Friday I had Duck, risotto and a bit of apple torte. Thursday it was lamb shank in Greek cream sauce.

I eat really, really, really good food- really decadent and rich food. But I only eat a fraction of what "normal" people would eat. I have absolutely NO physical reactions to ANY food- It seems I have an Iron sleeve!!

I dont feel guilty or bad about my choices.... I'm losing (avg) 2lbs/week (I'm almost 7 mo out) and more than happy with my progress.

I would not say that duck or lamb are "bad" food choices. Not at all. Does any of the deserts seem to affect weight loss?

I've had 2-3 slices of pizza a couple of times. Three is way more than necessary, and you pay to play: overfull, which is probably a good lesson to have once if you haven't had it yet.

When I have the occasional "bad" day I just get back on the wagon the next day.

As sad as it may be, the occasional day or weekend of "overeating" (and I'm talking hundreds, not thousands, of calories) may be a good thing. Getting the occasional reboot on the fat and carbs seems to kick the weight loss back into a higher gear.

I still avoid eating a lot of sugar. I had a few of those snack-size Halloween candy bars one day and felt like shiz afterwards. Not dumping, but just generally lethargic.

My daughter in law baked cupcakes and frosted them with yellow frosting then drove over after her ultrasound. In order to find out the sex of the baby you had to eat the cup cake...Since they all love me and Know I am working VERY hard I took one bite and then split the cupcake open to find my blue streak inside. I now have two grandsons coming in March!! I did eat that bite and swollow it...I have never been a sweet eater so that is not an issue but oh my...me and the chips have stare downs on many occasions!!

My plan has always included eating all sorts of foods, including sweets and carbs. So I've eaten loads of things that people would consider 'bad' probably. But I like to have the variety and the choice, so I eat what I want. I've recently cut out wheat, but apart from that, I eat most anything in relatively small amounts. It helps me for maintenance I think as well.

      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.
