Hi, i am 19 days post op, and suppose to be on Clear Liquids with the exception of one egg. Last Night while Making dinner for my fam, i took a bite of Mac and cheese..totally forgot. Well today i am Having pains on my right side, do you think its related? Gas? They only happen when i get up or down, or move around. Any thoughts

Hi, I really don't think one bite would hurt you. I would say make sure your walking enough. Walking helps with the gas. I was actually eating soft foods at 19 days post op so I really don't think one bite would hurt you. I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you so much. You made me feel better..

19 days and still on liquids? You must be climbing the walls! I wouldn't worry about one bite. Pain in right side could just be from fatty liver disease, which many of us have. At 3 months post op, my right side pain is nearly gone now.

After my 2 week post op liquids I was supposed to start on puréed foods, but I couldn't handle the texture of puréed. So, since I hadn't had any complications, no nausea or vomiting, the nutritionist let me go to soft foods. Maybe you could talk to yours?

Yeah, I agree with the above. That is a pretty mild food to have. Every week I was able to move up a level of food after post op. The pain could be gas, I know I get the burps when I eat something that I picture my tummy grinding to a pulp.

Not to worry, most post-op diets allow soft foods by then. I do recommend you follow your doctor's program from now on though.

Ok thanks guys for the advice, so nice to have people to talk to about this stuff.

As the others have said most are already on soft foods by this time so probably not an issue. However, if the pain continues and/or you develop a fever with it be sure to see a dr to be safe. Good Luck.

bite of Mac and cheese - Having pains on my right side, do you think its related? Gas?

one bite, teeny, teeny bite is ok - THIS time

raise your right hand and say you will never do this again, and you won't have 3 slices of pizza tomorrow (or the next day either )

sleeve joke - you'll understand one day

i have heard that a side effect of the sleeve sometimes is memory loss (forgot about not being able to eat mac & cheese)

the memory loss problem might be true ......but i don't remember

take care bud

good luck

I did that same thing. I had so many people tell me what 'they' could do I was confused. At anyrate, seems like we had it done about the same time. My diet still only has yogurt and Protein Drink. It feels as if I have the flu ever since I dumped.... good luck and I bet you'll be great..
