Re: Post-Op Eating

How is it that some people are already eating foods less than 3 weeks after their sugeries and able to tolerate it...but some people can't?

I admit I had French Onion Soup and I had no issues...tried to eat chicken Noodle Soup...BAD idea. Lesson learned.

Everyone's body is different. Stay away from carbs completely. The noodles probably got stuck in your stomach. Also chicken has fibers in it that break down in your stomach weird. Try Tomato Soup with u flavored Protein Powder, sugar free pudding, yogurt with less than 10 grams of sugar. Stay as far away as possible from carbs. They will make you sick and you won't loose as much weight.

VSjrs is right. Every person is different. Some tolerate carbs, some don't. Some tolerate alcohol, some don't. I'm more than two years past surgery and there are some things I still can't eat or drink. I've made peace with those because there's so much more I *can* eat and drink. Celebrate what you can do now and realize it will continue to change. Good luck!
