Chewing sugar free Jellybelly's until they ooze is not considered a liquid!



Recommended Posts

6 days post-op and I try to rid the bland taste of the liquid diet from my mouth. Bad idea! Now, I am not trying to sabotage my surgery and I know right from wrong. I just thought if the Jellybelly's melted in my mouth then it would be ok. Wrong!12_1_125.gif

It felt like somebody was stabbing me in the chest with a shrimp skewer!26_11_3.gif How could such a logical and well thought out plan go so wrong? I must also add that I have a Realize band (installed w/o fill of course) so how could this have happened? It should have just oozed through. Right?

I must have miscalculated when constructing my devious plan...

I can't be the only one that has tried to rationalize eating something that eventually backfired?

Nope...I did my "own" preop diet. Lost 15 pounds in 3 weeks. Came to on 8/11 in recovery without the band because my diet did NOT shrink my liver. I learned the hard way to do what my surgeon says.

I hope you didn't hurt your healing! Next time you want to get the taste out of your mouth, brush your teeth! It worked for me! :rolleyes:

Good luck and hang in there, ok? Behave yourself!

Ohhh those awful jelly bellies . . . that keep wanting to give us jelly bellies, lol.

Mint or chamomile tea or brushing teeth as restlessmonkey suggested work great.

the pain could have been from the sugar alcohol, that causes gi discomfourt for some. almost all sugar free candy has sugar alcohols in it. My doc says sugar alcohol is no beter for you than sugar. I also love sugar free candy it is hard to resist. Sometimes that bad taste in your mouth is caused beecause you are in fat burning mode. Embrace your bad breath it means you are on your way to being skiny!

I guess it's a good thing I'm not into candies.. I have no idea what a jelly belly is, is it similar to a Gummy bear?

Anyway, have you tried sugar free ice pops? I tried introducing something different one at a time. After Clear Liquids, I introduced sugar free Jello and then a couple days later I did the ice pops. Now they taste funny but back then they were the best thing I've ever had in my life! LOL!

Jelly Belly are gormet jelly Beans, they have so many yummy flavors you need a chart to identify all of them.

I agree with tooth brushing followed by mouthwash... gets rid of old doo-doo drawers every time! :rolleyes:

Trust me, even though my tongue feel like dry sand paper, I have not pressed my luck since!

I have 8 more days before I can move to mushies.

I just need a little flavor in my life!

Can you put sugar free mentos in a blender?...

Just out of curiosity...what were you eating on your own pre-op diet that didn't shrink your liver? I'm on low carb and have cheated once or twice and I'm deathly afraid that I'm going to wake up without my band because of it. Please tell me that you didn't do the same thing I just did ahhhhhhh

      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.
