Ooops, grainy mustard?



Recommended Posts

So I am 3 weeks post sleeve yesterday and today for lunch I brought some roast beef to roll up with mustard. Without thinking, I used my usual grainy/seedy dijon mustard, you know the kind that is basically ALL seeds? I ate about 1/2 a tsp before I remembered I wasn't supposed to be eating seeds!

What are the chances this will get stuck/cause a problem?

More than likely you'll be fine, Just want to avoid getting anything stuck in your staple line this soon after surgery. Pay attention to things the rest of the day and if things start to hurt or seem to get more swollen, reach out to your surgeon/doctors office.

You can eat roast beef 3 weeks post-op? Wow, good for you! I couldn't even do eggs at that point.

@Orchids&Dragons yep! I started "soft" foods this week after purees last week. It's paper thin slices of rare roast, very tender and goes down great! I was able to add soft scrambled eggs in puree phase and had no problems there either.

I hate to say it, but I am one of those people that hasn't had a single problem adding new foods, I just have to learn new portions with each new texture. With the new soft foods it's a HARD stop at 2.5 ounces.

Yes, that sounds like it would be difficult. I'm the opposite, other than liquids/purees, I'm lucky to get to an ounce and a half. My Protein minimum is 75g and it's a good day if I can get half from real foods. The rest is all supplements.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
