Chips?

[mrs sandy r 152]

Ok I know I'm not suppose to eat them, but I must confess I had 6 baked chips. Chewed them till they were mush. How does it affect the stomach? It didn't hurt & the 6 chips filled me up. I just want to know what it does to the stomach. I'm 17 wks out.

Lol .... no damage done. You chewed and they were baked not fried - sounds like a pretty tame "treat" for 17 weeks out

I hear you! I'm still I'm full liquids and yesterday need something crunchy ...I had 3small peanuts chewed,chewed,chewed until there was no more chewing to do and all was well. I need my Protein in other forms.

How long do you have to be on full liquids? My Dr put me on purée after 2 weeks of full liquids. I am on the purée stage for 4 weeks. Then soft foods for another 4 weeks. Then normal food. It seems like you should be on normal foods by now. I wish all doctors used the same diet timeline.

If you're craving salt there are individual chip size seaweed chips, 30 cal /pack (I think there's ~ 15). They sell the snack packs by the box at costco or on Amazon. (0 carbs, 1g protein)

Do you mean 17 days or 17 weeks? You can't possibly still be on full liquids still!!!

Did you have post op problems?

Did you have post op problems?

Nope . Everything has been good .

So I'm curious now ..... how many weeks then till you can progress to pureed/soft foods? How much weight have you lost? 4 months liquid diet .... I dunno whether I would have gone through with the surgery if I knew that!

[mrs sandy r 152]

Sorry you misunderstood my post. I was only on full liquid for a week . Then on to purée , then to solids . I believe I started solid foods & was able to eat anything I wanted after the 5th week. The reason I asked about eating chips , is because I wanted to know what the harm was, besides eating carbs.
