Candygyrl 637 Posted July 17, 2016 No real cravings. I feel like I had tons pre op and I satisfied every single last one of them lol. Anyways I am about 2 weeks (16 days) post op and since being on purees I am experimenting with foods I shouldn't be. I went to Buffalo wild wings and ordered the naked grilled tenders. I ate one. It settled in pretty well no complications. Later we went to Red lobster and I had crab legs. No issues. I don't cook often. So my husband and I enjoy eating out. He bought Snacks for the hotel room (we're out of town) smart pop white cheddar popcorn. Mmmmm so what did I do. Several hours had passed since dinner. I got one of the 8 oz cofee cups and filled it half way. It seemed to do fine but I woke up the next morning feeling as if something was stuck. Could've been the popcorn? Was delicious but very uncomfortable afterwards. I shouldn't have eaten it. I see how it is very important to stay on track with the the plan not only for compliance but to establish discipline and achieve success. I don't think I will be successful at achieving weightloss if I try to get away with eating smart pop popcorn at every opportunity. Had That gone well, I probably would've. I don't even want to try again. Lesson learned for many other foods to come. Time to take full advantage of this golden period help the tool help me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While our stomachs are healing our diets are in stages so the stomach doesn't have to work hard to digest. Minimal churning is important. So, just because we can eat something that doesn't affect us negatively, we don't know what is happening on the inside. Just wanted to share that. I've been on the soft stage since last thursday and it is sooooo much better. We get real food, just not the hard things to digest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

becomingmandikaye 262 Posted July 18, 2016 I had cravings, but they weren't true cravings. I wanted all kinds of food, but it was because I couldn't have it. If someone had actually put a cheeseburger in front of me, I would have been disgusted by it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping he'll tell me ok you can start on the next level of your diet plan. I'm so sick of being on the liquid diet. I need more variety.
