16 Days Out, I Need Help!

[swilkins 34]

I had Bypass on 8/10, things were going well, into my second week I was involved in a serious car accident. I have not been following my schedule due to injuries. I have eaten Pasta, rice, fried chicken.

Any suggestions!!! Should I start over with a liquid diet? ???

Help!!!

Wow you def should start over it amazing that you can eat that stuff I'm almost 4 months out and I still can't get that stuff down. Surgery is a tool you still need to do the work don't set yourself up for failure. Good luck to you!

I think starting over on a liquid diet would be a great idea.

How can you eat that? and have no reaction, you have to go right back to the beginning or the liquid part and go with your nutritionist for help. Good luck

Please note its only small portions Pasta ex: Lo mein noodles chopped up, no more than 2 spoons of rice and broken up.chicken, I guess I don't need to minimize I need help. Thanks!

I'm a month out and can do chicken and steak in very small amounts but I won't do Pasta. Remember high Protein low carb diet is a lifestyle change. I would just go back to the basics of your in purée sage go back to purée etc.

Thank goodness your alright! I'm about 2wks out and I realize that I can consume more Water and others things that u didn't was possible, so weird. There's plenty of emotions and trauma after a car accident and the more serious the accident the more trauma. If these feelings aren't felt and dealt with head on then it's easy to turn to food for some comfort. Back to liquids for you my dear and drink water, water cleanses the body and makes us feel rejuvenated. As a treat have some sugar free Popsicles. Nothing is forever my dear so just for now make this a must. Embrace your life like you expect every twist and turn and don't you dare feel bad about it. Just pick yourself back up and try again. Yay you!!

I would go back to square 1 ... start eating what you did right after surgery. As someone posted earlier... this is a tool... only you can make it work. You sound like a emotional eater, which I am. I would talk to your doctor and see what he says. When I was two weeks post op I could only eat very soft foods, I am almost 5 months post op and still afraid to eat certain things like meat etc. Get yourslef back on track !!! Get well and I hope you feel better soon.

Just what I needed to hear, the accident was very tramatic and I do find comfort in food. But as stated back to basics. Muah!!!!

I'm nine wks out and i'm "sked" of pasta......but i've tried plenty, lol. I would start over, too. Thank God ur ok, though.

Often WE tend to justify our actions because of certain events. Just remember the reason you had the surgery and where those foods got US in the first place. food is comforting to US, but it is also our silent killer. Although you may only be eating small portions, it still isn't healthy for you. WE have to get to OUR goal weight. WE have to live a better life, we have to LIVE. Eating the wrong foods will kill US. This forum is an excellent source of encouragement and motivation and I commend you for putting your situation on here because it will help someone else.

Oh and once you experience dumping for the first time...I PROMISE you won't eat or drink what you aren't supposed to. Dumping for me is the most horrific experience. Imagine an angry Smurf wearing shoes with spikes on the bottom tap dancing on your pouch, with his buddy the kibbler elf tightening a wrench around it, not to mention tinkerbell with a plunger down your throat forcing whatever you just ate or drank back up and nothing coming up. NOT PLEASANT. I do not want this to happen to you. Head back to those glorious liquids (the recommended ones) and enjoy your new journey...sans dumping.

Keep us posted on your progress and welcome to the losers circle.
