Hello--I had surgery 12/13/16 and am having difficulty transitioning to solid food. I'd love to talk with someone about this. Thank you!

In what ways are you having difficulty?

[Shell68 0]

Mainly concerned that if I eat real food, I'll slide towards overeating or choosing bad foods. This last weekend, I discovered I could eat potato chips which is definitely not in my best interest.

Well, obviously you shouldn't have gone near chips. But the fact is, you're going to have to deal with eating real food eventually, which means you're going to have to deal with your food issues.

Plan your meals. Weigh and measure food. Keep healthy, delicious Snacks on hand (I love grape tomatoes and cucumbers). Talk to a therapist.

I'm over a year post op ...do yourself a favour and stay away from junk food. Just keep telling yourself it's bad for your pouch and body. Transition to healthy food junk food doesn't exist anymore
