Random Thought/Question



Recommended Posts

I was told no bread, rice, or Pasta for 2 months post surgery because it swells in your stomach once it become moist which will cause your new pouch to stretch. I am a huge carb lover, but after hearing that I dare not eat it. It's tempting, but it's not worth it.

My huge fear of vomiting (I absolutely hate doing it) and healthy fear of f'ing up have kept me on track.
I tried refried Beans when allowed, which was right after post-op on my plan. Those just didn't go well. I didn't vomit but it was pain like the people who had the bread/sandwhich described.

So far My restrictions are my own, and are new ones dictated by my personal new hankering's and what my sleeve will tolerate. I do crave chocolate occasionally. I satisfy it with a square of dark chocolate. Or a sugar free fudge pop. With no real issues. It's trial and error. I've had a cheese steak sub. A couple bites really but if you crave it, eat it. I'm good all the time, so the occasional goody keeps you on point!

So I didn't loss any weight in over two weeks and out of curiosity, I went on a three day protein/liquid diet and to my surprise, I survived just fine with minimal hunger pangs,lost 3 pounds and I think my capacity for food intake has reduced to what it used to be in the first 3rd week. Very interesting..

Wow, this was good to hear because my capacity food intake slightly increased. I gotta give this a try.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
