ChattyPatty 3 Posted March 8, 2017 I broke down and had baby pickles last night. Im 8 days post op. Im so sorry I did this. My stomach hurts. I chewed really well. I miss having food in my mouth. Is hard candy ok to suck on? Im getting bored with my liquids. Sigh. Dummmy Me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clc9 644 Posted March 8, 2017 You can give yourself more than a stomach ache advancing your diet too soon. Pieces of food can get stuck in your unhealed staple line and give you an abscess, which can lead to a leak or, in one case I read on here, death.Hard candy is sugar, so no, that's not a good idea either. Bored is not a reason to put your health at risk. The liquid diet is a blip in time in the scheme of things! Suck it up and stick with your surgeon's plan as written. I also think you should tell your surgeon what you ate so he can determine if you could have hurt yourself. Also, If you aren't seeing a therapist for your food issues, you absolutely need to be. I think we all need to be! 2 lynlewis and Pam_2-06-2017 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syaniya 319 Posted March 14, 2017 Well every surgeon is different. At 3 days I can have pudding, custard, cottage cheese, and all liquids, yogurts, Jello, etc...as long as its sugar free. I see so many different plans posted on here, but the best thing to do is follow your surgeons orders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
