Someone slap me please!

[Sharon1964 2,530]

Seriously. If I Celebrate being able to eat pizza two months after surgery, someone please slap me. HARD.

One, my surgeon doesn't allow bread, Pasta, or crackers for six months after surgery.

Two, if I wanted to keep eating the foods that got me where I am today, I wouldn't be having the surgery.

Here's some motivation - the only time I puked following the surgery was when I tried to eat pizza, Lost my desire for it after that.

I agree. Slap me too. If I go back to doing the same stupid things that got me here, it's totally not worth it.

it like complaining about not drinking carbonated drinks.< /p>

[Babbs 14,681]

Oh no, didn't you hear? It's OKAY to eat the same foods after surgery as you did before, because it's just smaller portions!

I weep for humanity sometimes.....

I seriously have to wonder what people did pre op. Like did you not do your research? Did you not know what you were getting into? Did you wake up one morning and think "hmmm I think I'll have weight loss surgery today"

Most surgeons strongly discourage us from drinking carbonated beverages and a few other foods / drinks post-op, but so far as I know almost all foods are allowed post-op, as long as you're in the appropriate phase for that food.

But if a specific food makes you sick or makes you feel bad, don't eat it. If it's a trigger food for you, don't eat it. If you really love pizza and you're far along enough post-op that pizza seems an appropriate addition to your daily menu, eat one slice and see how it goes. What one person can eat happily and without harm, another may not be able to tolerate. And what you can't tolerate 3 months out you could handle 6 months or 12 months post-op.

So much of our long-term success will depend on our ability to experiment sagely with a variety of foods and, thereafter, to exercise the discipline to eat what nourishes us and our bodies and to avoid the foods / drinks that are harmful for us.

This statement is true if you want to be fat again. My surgeon and NUT said NO carbonated drinks, NO processed foods, NO processed sugars, NO processed breads, tortilla, and chips......Not strongly discouraged. We can certainly eat most all foods post op, if we want to be fat again.

I knew it would be you!

This post came out of a head-banging moment where I saw someone CELEBRATING being able to eat pizza at two months out.

Celebrate that you lost weight. Celebrate that you are in smaller sizes. Celebrate that you are healthier. Celebrate that you can fit into a restaurant booth, an airplane seat, a restroom stall. CELEBRATE!

But celebrate that you can eat a piece of pizza? ?

Your doctor is pulling your leg or you have misunderstood her / him.

Have you had WLS yet?

Have you reached goal yet?

How long have you maintained your weight?
