LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted February 12, 2014 I am at about 11 weeks post op and I can eat a small amount only though! chicken noodle Soup, half an english muffin, lasagna noodles. All that is Ok. I have a harder time with meats and of course I cannot eat near the amount of Pasta I used to. However, egg noodles are good and light and I have eaten some of the multi grain pasta made a type of mac n chz and it was good. Cannot have more than a ramekin of pasta though. Good luck and take it easy. I was on liquid/mushy for like 3-4 weeks.You seem to be doing well and losing weight, but I am terribly afraid to eat carbs like you do. Of course we steered clear of them prior to surgery. I think I am afraid I will be able to eat them without a problem (unlike some people who get very sick), and then I would be eating a lot of carbs. I think I will stick to not pushing the issue. Continued good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdocforce 55 Posted February 13, 2014 Oh yeah. Rice...a show stopper for me. I can have a couple of kernels peppered in a juicy mix of veggies and meat, but a spoonful of Rice...will get stuck and cause a very uncomfortable uproar. Soft squishy bread or Desserts same thing. It is a blessing quite frankly. I used to be able to eat my weight (formerly 60 lbs more than today) in bread, Pasta, rice, chips, popcorn...all the things I love and often crave. NOW...nothin' doin! I cannot tolerate it in any real quantity. Now I realize that the carb high is/was what I was/am addicted to. So now that I cannot gorge myself to the point of the high, I tend to avoid it or at least limit my exposure. Its weird, like now that I can't eat as much of it, it doesn't have the same appeal to eat just a bite or two, therefore I don't usually bother. I am so grateful for my tool...it has been the most effective thing I have ever done for my weight loss goals and attempts to be healthier. Good luck finding your limits and I hope you learn faster than I do. stacie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Memily 86 Posted February 16, 2014 I tried some canned green Beans today, green beans!!! And it made a guest appearance in 5 seconds flat!!! So I had a smoothie, ooooh did it taste delicious after that horrid experience! Just when you think you're ready......bam! Man I wanted something smooth too but was so afraid to put anything in me I hear you! I have learned a smoothie is my "go to food", I haven't gotten sick from them "yet", and I hope it stays that way! My mind is so ready to eat soft foods, my stomach is the exact opposite. I feel like it wants me on liquids forever lol. fruit smoothies and yogurt (and my mind is so tired of yogurt haha). If I see another premier Protein shake its going to make an appearance too. I just finished the box.....I won't be buying another for a LONG time! Sorry you had to go through that, hopefully the next time won't be as memorable . Do you make them of get them from Kamba juice or something? Be careful with Kamba Juice....I tried a smoothie from our local place and it made me so terribly sick I couldn't believe it.
