soocalchic 1,087 Posted March 22, 2013 Ok so I'm going to be really mean because clearly you are clueless... You just had 85% of your stomach removed!!! for gods sake think next time you shove some solid food in your mouth.. Your staple line isn't healed up and you should follow your doctors orders to progress your diet gradually. Causing a stall should be the least of your worries.. You should be worried about causing a leak.. 5 marfar7, BlessedBeyondMeasure2012, Frank69 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sadtosaygoodbye 256 Posted March 22, 2013 You need to take the surgery seriously, you know you've done wrong. Get yourself together and follow your post-op instructions. That's the only advice I have for you. Oh and like soocalchic said a STALL is the last thing you should be worried about. 1 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sassygirl06 962 Posted March 22, 2013 Fell off the horse. Get back on. It's just a few more days till you are allowed soft foods...you can wait... As far as tongue lashings, we are all here for support. We are all human and make mistakes. She knows she shouldn't do it, and admitting what she did was wrong is hard to do. As far as stalls..they will come and go, you don't need to worry about them...they will pass. Be careful, and good luck! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted March 22, 2013 Skinless pickle? Why would anyone pickle peeled cucumbers? It would become mush! After the pickling process (with peeling)... it's all the same texture anyway.. Totally weird! Anyway... Get back on your docs suggested foods and live up to your name Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted March 22, 2013 Skinless pickle? Why would anyone pickle peeled cucumbers? It would become mush! After the pickling process (with peeling)... it's all the same texture anyway..Totally weird! Anyway... Get back on your docs suggested foods and live up to your name Girl there is a whole bunch of people here doing that! Seriously I see it everyday here! And they are drinking the pickle juice too! GROSS!! Oh and to the op please be kind to your stomach, it may not hurt... but that is because at ten days your stomach nerves are still somewhat numb still. Please go back to the recommended plan. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spatters3 315 Posted March 23, 2013 When you're at the "mushie" foods stage, you can just about eat anything if you chew it a LOT. As for skinless pickles: my mother used to make the absolute best, world class bread & butter sweet pickles with skinned and sliced cucumbers. Perfection. I wonder if she still has the recipe.... I will ask her tomorrow. I am soooo blessed to still have my mother so I can ask her silly questions :-) 3 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012, Ms.AntiBand and Dana Tumblin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
