36 days postop cravings!



Recommended Posts

I was doing okay lost around 19 lbs but I've been at a stall for around 3 weeks now and it's kinda rough..

On the other hand I'm dying for some sushi but I'm scared. Did anyone try sushi? I can handle half a Quest bar and beef that's kinda soft so far..

To be safe, I would follow post op instructions to the letter.

They actually told me I should be able to eat anything 6 weeks out except raw veggies, they said it could take months.

I introduced foods very slowly - I would try a couple of (small) bites with each new food, then finish the meal with foods I had already incorporated.

As far as raw veggies, I'm 8 months out and still struggle with them. I know some can sit down to a big salad, but not me. I can eat about 1/4 cup of lettuce.

I live off salad (10 months out). I have a lump of meat and salad every day. Raw carrots, sweetcorn, beetroot, onions, lettuce, rocket. You name it, I eat it.

I guess it's a case of seeing what works for you, as McButterpants said, and slowly increase your list of 'okay' foods :)

I personally couldn't see much wrong with the raw fish portion of the sushi requirement. However, the rice and the wasabi might come back and bite you on the bum a bit.

Sadly it's all trial and error so early out. Whatever you do, just listen to your body and it shouldn't put you far wrong.

Good luck!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
