Snack

[Heather Leigh 50]

Question. I was craving crunchy... So I sucked on a few Bugles and a few pretzels...I turned them into mush. Is that OK??? My surgery date for sleeve was Nov 30. Thanks everyone.

Pork skins would be good for a crunch plus it no carbs and has Protein

Are Bugles and pretzels on your list of approved foods?

Other crunchy things you can turn into mush: Cookies, french fries, Ritz crackers, potato chips, Hershey bars . . . but this isn't the way most of us eat post-sleeve, and for good reason. This is the time to be adopting healthy habits and learning a new way of thinking about food, not plotting ways to get high-carb crap into your body.

Understood. Thanks. A little positivity goes a long way. Clearly you didn't hit a bump in the road. I was asking for help not ridicule.

Where are you in the food stages on your plan? At 13 days post-op, I was still in full liquids!

I don't know. My dr didn't say anything. He asked how I was doing and told me to keep it up

You're 3 weeks out. Are you supposed to be having anything crunchy? And you're not having "crunchy" if you're just sucking on them anyway? And where's the Protein?

And DON'T tell me I'm not being 'positive'. You just had major bariatric surgery and have a post surgery diet you're supposed to be following. Grow the hell up.

You don't have a plan that you are supposed to follow post-op? Really?

[Heather Leigh 50]

Please don't respond. Thank you. Don't need negative comments. I wish you luck.

I do it was one week out but that's it. There are different stages. But I'm not sure where I am on the stages. He didn't say....at the end of the day sound like I was wrong. Won't do it again.

No luck is needed when one follows a sensible plan.

You're not positive. I asked a question. You got all defensive. You're kind of an angry elf. I'm not worried I got this. I didn't have the info I needed now I do. Best of luck to you.

Well, you have a mouth. We know that because you've been sucking on Bugles and pretzels with it. Here's a concept: Why not ASK your surgeon what your plan is?
