Those of you 5 months post op...

[AmandaWho 158]

Or those of you passed that point but that can remember that time....

My surgery is 5/31 and I'm going on my honeymoon in October and we're going to Europe. I obviously know I will be eating much, much less but I want to be able to taste different foods without eating everything in sight like I normally would. Is that something that's possible at 5 months or will I still not be eating real foods? I understand the sleeve is a tool, and I intend to use it that way, I'm just more interested to see if I'll be eating regularly (for a sleeved person) at that time or still introducing foods.

Thanks!

At 5 months I would hope that you are back on regular food. Really you will be able to eat anything. But there are the things that you shouldn't eat and you should know what those are. Good luck to you.

At 5 months you should be all set. You won't be able to eat much but you will be able to be so active and feeling wonderful. Congratulations!!

I think some of this answer will come from how well you personally recover as we are all different. I am almost 4 months post-op and I have no foods that I cannot tolerate. There is definitely less hunger and cravings, and I am very happy and healthy right now! Enjoy your Honeymoon!!

I am 4 months postop and I could have easily gone to Europe last month. Enjoy your trip!!

Thank you all for the responses and also for letting me know I won't have a problem being active! I have so many excursions set up and I didn't even think about whether or not I would be able to do them! I really appreciate your answers!

I've not had an issue tolerating foods. I will be 5 months on Friday and can eat pretty much anything. I don't... but I can.

I went to Asia at 3 months post-op and Europe at 4.5 months post-op and I had no issues on either trip. I pretty much ate lean Protein and green vegetables everywhere I went (which is what I eat day-to-day even at home and even now). The only thing that I couldn't find in Asia or Europe that I normally eat is cottage cheese. Everything else was similar.

Good luck!
