HI OH FAM! i know im prob. gonna get alot of feed back on this but i just want to confess and let it out! today i am exactly 2weeks post op, and i can eat anthing. i mean i have not gotten sick, and it goes down easy. i've had baked chicken, hamburgr pattie, cream spinich, oatmeal,stewed tomatoes,and even a chic fil a chicken finger. i just take my time and chew, and eat slowly! i feel fine, and idont feel like im messing up because its healthy stuff except for the hamburger pattie and the creaM spinich. i just wanna know is there anyone else out there like this. and should i feel bad for eating regular food so soon? someone help me thanx

I would be very careful if I were you. You dont want to risk stretching your new pouch. You should stick to the drs recommended eating plan. You could risk tearing open the internal stitches KWIM? Just sayin'

Hi Roen!

Just wanted to say hi because I saw that you had Dr. Arreola down as your surgeon! He did mine 2/24/09. Not sure if you've had your surgery yet, but I'm here to talk to if you're looking for a friend :)

Jackie

Hi Jackie he did my first one on Halloween of 2006 and my revision due to a complication in Dec of 2007. I just love him. He has a dry sense of humor that just puts me in stitches. He also did my sisters around Christmas of last year. Good luck to you and if you need anything feel free to ask.

They are all healthy except the cream spinach and hamburger patty. Most nutritionists and physicians would think that they fried chic fil a tender isn't healthy either.

Just because your body is allowing you to eat these things does not mean you should eat them. Remember eating when and what we shouldn't have is what got us in the position of requiring WLS. I would suggest that you meet with a nutritionist and discuss your food choices and see if they think that they are healthy. Please remember that you DID NOT have major surgery just to go right back to where you were and trust me, YOU CAN.

Best wishes!

I must confess... I was able to eat things I wasn't supposed to either within days after my surgery... luckily for me my GF who also had this surgery noticed what was going on and warned me!

1.  you have recently had surgery, your nerves have been cut and they don't recogonize feelings of fullness yet
2.  keep eating that way and your tool will become stretched out... so much for utilizing your tool that you worked so hard to get
3.  the likelihood that you might possibly cause some irreversible damage to your healing insides is obscenely high
4.  head hunger is an issue that we all fight at some point... sime have to deal with it sooner!  Grab your Water and protein shakes! instead of the fork!
5. Start utilizing a junior fork and spoon during meals! placing them on the table after each bite and chew chew chew!

Take control while you have a tool to help you!  The nerves should start letting themselves be known in a few weeks!  

Hopefully this will help you I know it did me... i am 3 years out and although I have not reached my goal weight (still have 20 to go) at least I haven't started on the regain train!
