Read this and learn from my embarrassing mistake...



Recommended Posts

I am two months post op (just about) and have been doing really well. No cheating and losing the weight I want to be losing.

However, we were just on vacation for a week, and while I did well on vacation, on the way home my daughter wanted chicken nuggets... So, I ordered a cheeseburger... I'm not doing a ton of carbs (haha!) so I got rid of the bread and just ate the burger. Then I had way too many fries.

Well, let me just say, having not had much grease in my diet for the past 2 months caused a REVOLTING stomach issue.

I won't go into details....but it was public, foul and the most embarrassing experience of my life.

DON"T do this to yourself...a burger and fries are just not worth it!!!

I tried to have a few bites of my kids nuggets a month or two after surgery and had a horrible sliming episode. I have eaten lean ground beef burgers with wheat Buns (bottom only) and not had any issues. I dont know that I would be brave enough to eat a McDonalds burger... and I dont think it would keep me full long.

As for fries i dont even bother. Some days I can eat one or two, others one is enough to do me in so its just not worth it!

I had a horrible sliming episode at work a few weeks ago and my boss was trying to talk to me. She at least asked if I wasnt feeling well but as she continued talking I could only nod my head in response to her questions. I didnt think she would ever walk away so I could spit!

Ragdoll--That is horrible about your boss. We both live in the DFW area. Sounds like you work for the same horrible boss I did. I worked(now retired) for the electric company. Is that where u work---lol. I wish you had just slimed on her. That would really teach a lesson.

Hi ladies,

I haven't had the PB thing yet...This was far more embarrassing... :rolleyes:

I did try to eat an English Muffin (last day of vacation...only food left in the house were carbs) and that WAS NOT pretty... it hurt so bad, I thought I would cry...or vomit.

Oh, and so far pineapple has been fine. It's a bit fiberous...so perhaps that is why you are having trouble with it?

:)

I can't do potatoes either, the starch maybe?? Bread... it's evil as are eggs. Soda... It hurts, I don't bother and I don't miss it much.

Pineapple... My guess is that is that it is stringy like celery. Try chopping it up verrrry fine so there are not long strings and that might help. Pineapple juice is great if you are stuck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
