It is OUT!
Congrats!!!! I too absolutely loved being able to eat an orange (well 1/4 of an orange, I am a revision to VSG) as soon as I was approved for solid food again. It's funny how many band folks I know, including me, who made cheetos a much bigger part of their diet than they ever were pre-op because that is one of the few foods that you can count on to stay down. Good luck and congrats on being able to eat healthy again. I would never, never, never, suggest the band to anyone. It's a horrible device.
Yes, cheetos were never eaten as much as when banded. Haven't had a single one since unbanded and sleeved. I write as I am eating solid protein.
I have been enjoying healthy foods. No urge for the bad stuff because I wasn't deprived of it like I was good solid protein. Wonderful veggies. Great Fruits!! i ahve not had an ounce of anything come back up! Did have a great week long battle with digestion. had to pro-biotic up a bit to get the stomach working right again. But all seems weel now!
