Recommended Posts

I have had a hard time with lettuce since my surgery. Every time I try it, no matter how much I chew it, it comes back up. I am stubborn and very optimistic, so I won't give up. Maybe some day I will be able to eat it. I eat lots of vegetables, so that is not a problem.... just really want a salad every now and then. Funny how our bands all have different personalities... just like we do I guess :bored: Good luck to you. Sorry you had to go through this and thanks for reminding us all how important it is to chew, chew, chew. Take care. Becky

Lol, it sounds disgusting but I've thought the same thing - I thought I CHEWED that!!!

Still, at least what comes back out of MY stomach beats the entire hotdog my son threw up last week. Seriously, it had some bite marks in it and that was it!:bored:

ewww I know what you mean about the hot dog.... My kids do the same. It makes we wonder "Do I feed them enough? Are they starving when they eat?" LOL My youngest even had a WHOLE green bean come out his nose once when he vomited.....:thumbup:

I'm about 7 weeks post-surgery, and 1 tiny chewed up cube of Watermelon actually made me barf! I will not forget that feeling anytime soon......

Spinach is terrible!

About 1 month after surgery, I was trying to eat some spinach casserole, and it was my first PB. And it was just awful.

      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.
