latido 178 Posted July 10, 2014 I have been craving salty foods the last few days (I am 3 weeks post op today). I finally looked the the pirate's booty cheddar puffs and they have 2 grams of Protein per ounce serving. I dropped one piece into my chicken broth and it melted. I wonder if that can be motivation to work through the broth for liquid Protein. It doesn't even need to be chewed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissapmkn1 41 Posted July 10, 2014 Hi - I am week 2 post surgery…..I think the issue with it might be carbs, artificial ingredients and non nutritional caloric intake, plus it's in a new tummy. I am on a strict 2 week post op full liquid diet, then soft foods (cottage cheese, applesauce, canned tuna, canned chicken in little tiny flakes. Grains and carbs aren't entering back into the picture for 4 more weeks and those are healthy choices only. Raw foods not until late September and October. I know everyone's Dr. does is a little differently, so what I am following may not be what everyone is following. In support of what you are feeling, I am sick to death of sweet Protein shakes - UGH and so I leave broth for my salty choice. I am dying to chew something - celery, carrots - anything! I don't think what you did will hurt you and so understand why! I am really trying hard to focus on forming the good long term habits that I never had before. This surgery has given me the chance to start over and I know that this is my last option. You keep on going and know we are with you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
latido 178 Posted July 10, 2014 I've been on purees for a week. I've had some saltyish foods, but it has hit me so hard that I needed to satisfy it. It honestly helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MisPetunia 21 Posted July 11, 2014 I am pre-op and confess I just ate some. However, I know I will be purging my home of ANY temptations before the surgery so that even if a crave it, I won't have access to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
