Problem is i was never told "not to eat" certain foods. I clearly learnt by trial and error. But I have been o****il recently
thanks for responding
Yes, I agree with you. My family Dr has been monitoring my health. I have been taking care of my Mom for the last 10 years in our home suffering with severe Alzheimer's so it is not always possible to do what is needed. My bloodwork came back great! Thank you for your reply. S
No matter how long ago you, Sharna, you had surgery they say one should see the surgeon at least once every year!
I wonder if you might even sub conscientiously being chewing on ice to prevent you from overeating. I know for myself that I drink a LOT of flavored water in order not to overeat. I drink between 84 - 120 oz of flavored water EVERYDAY. I know also for myself, I need to be careful and NOT to drink to much water as one can drown from drinking to much liquid. Someone near where I live DID drown from CONSUMING to much liquid!

Pica is a disorder where people feel the urge to eat items of little or no nutritional value, such as soil, chalk, sand, or glass. This disorder generally occurs amongst children and people who have developmental issues.
Pagophagia is a form of pica—it’s a disorder where people have the constant urge to consume ice, or iced drinks. But, why is eating ice bad for you? Chomping on a piece of ice may appear to be a seeminglyharmless habit, but it can actually be detrimental to your teeth.

First off, I'd like to point out that those of us who have had WLS are not supposed to have any form of liquor. I was told after surgery that I could eat bread if TOASTED, however, my stomach is unable to handle toast. My stomach is also unable to handle eggs and most red meats. I am ALMOST a complete vegetarian. I do, however, eat chicken and turkey.
Thank you Nancy. How about wine? Coffee? I think these two beverages have worn out their welcome !
First off you should try eating meats that are baked or grilled, that are not so full of fillers. The first year is one of the most important years to really retrain the way you eat. Don't start on a bad foot and eat lol that processed meat. Not to meant that popcorn chicken has breading on it that is no good for you! Make sure you are following your doctors diet plan as well!
If you have not been taking vitamins it may be a good idea to get a full set of labs done. If you crave chocolate, eat dark chocolate more satisfying, so u eat less of it. When I get munchies I grab a hunk of lettuce, celery, carrot....... I have stayed on the diet and have not gained any back..... But come to find out a lot of my labs were low. Vit d is a big one, along with iron, calcium, low vit D can affect your thyroid function.
The further out you get you deprive your body of vitamins it needs cause you don't absorb them anymore! When you first do all the post op visits, u don't realize all these values go down u til u are further out!
