FluffyChix 17,415 Posted March 18, 2019 Congrats on a successful surgery! Don't eat it! So I logged it all down in this thread! Take your mind off your head hunger and read through this journal to see when I started eating. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYJenn 1,463 Posted March 18, 2019 You’re doing great! You don’t need hot dogs or Mountain Dew. You will absolutely feel SO SICK if you do 3 Catherine Wible, FluffyChix and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted March 18, 2019 By the way? That comment in the photo isn't for you. It was what I posted for myself when I knew I was gonna whine about the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. I still look at it to remind myself how good I have things! 3 Catherine Wible, nenes78 and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[emoji6] [/url] I looked through this thanks I have a question I'm also on the Premier Protein but they feel extremely thick and make a lot of mucus in my mouth did you have this problem? Maybe it's the milk in it, any way to fix that problem? I was mojo able to drink half of one shake before it made my stomach upset Sent from my BND-L34 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Catherine Wible reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GradyCat 3,695 Posted March 18, 2019 I was eating solid food at 5 weeks post-op but I still can't eat many things (steak, soft tortillas, etc.) and haven't returned to what I'd call "regular" food because "regular" food is what made me fat in the first place. I'm eating salmon, cheese, and 90% Protein and very little of anything else. I get full really quickly and can only eat something like 2 oz at a time, which is the beauty of the sleeve surgery being a tool for weight loss. Hang in there and don't eat that dog. 🙂 1 Catherine Wible reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Normal food" in the sense of "everything is allowed now" was about 4-6 weeks post op. First coffee after 4 weeks. Between week 4 und 6 one was supposed to introduce one food after another, first the softer ones. So hot dog and mountain dew might not be the right choices right now. Maybe see this as a challenge to conquer head hunger and the feeling of "having to eat right now". If you choose to eat hot dogs the day you'll be able to - that's your choice and only yours in the end. I'd stay away from calorie containing beverages though. 2 ProudGrammy and Catherine Wible reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catherine Wible 51 Posted March 21, 2019 I made it 2 days short of my 4 weeks before I ate anything not pureed (with my doctors permission). It was St Patrick's day (and my husband's birthday) and I had corned beef and carrots. I could only eat 2 oz of meat and one baby carrot, but it was divine!!! You can do it! It isn't worth the risk of blowing out your stitches, eating before you are cleared by your doctor, and carbonated beverages will fill you sleeve up with gas, and that would be so painful. I am rooting for you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
