I have a confession......

I dont think you should feel to guilty. my surgeons plan was soft food before i left the hospital. i have never done the clear liquid phase to regular food thang. i have only had regular food and when it doesnt sit well i know that it wasnt the right thing for me at that time and then i stick with yogurt for the rest of that day to allow "Cybil" to calm down. ive even had steak and am now only 6 weeks out as of today.
   Unfortunately I have nothing to confess.  i wish i did. i would love to try something sweet but i dont have time to spend a day dumping and i actually want to dump. knowing that i dont dump would def be a bad thing for me.. oh well i am working on some wls friendly recipes and hopefully come up with something yummy soon

I love your pouch name mine is Royal Dutchess, or miss thing lol. I tell people she is in control not me, I can eat something one day and no problem. the next day she is all sassy on me and talking back.

Cybil is the same way. What may good one day is not good the next. It drives me nuts but keeps me guessing LOL.. I def like the sassy comment.. Cybil is pretty sassy too. The funniest thing is even my kids and other half talk about Cybil..

 Haha "Cybil" I call mine Beula.. maybe when I start likeing my pouch a little more I will change her name to something prettier :)

I moved off the pureed foods a few days sooner as well. However, I did stick with the week-long torture known as liquids only for the first week after my RNY. I think for the initial recovery of the surgery you pretty much have to stick with that.  Additionally, my plan says I'm not to eat any RAW veggies or fruits OR red meats until 6 weeks out.  I've tried a few small bites of soft meat and a few bites of raw veggies and they were both ok.  I don't plan on having a STEAK dinner with a huge salad anytime soon but it was just curiosity that drove me to trying these "forbidden" foods a little early in the process.  

Thanks for the great topic and keep up the good recovery work!

don't worry I didnt either. I tried baby food and it was so bad. I really haven't had any problems other then eating way to fast. Just make sure to chew chew chew and take your time. I learned the hard way. I never want to feel that way again. its as to be like a heartattack.

 Haha, I did the same thing. I made the food myself. I also use "Chunky" soups and then add my chicken into the broth. That way I get great flavor and the darn protien. I had my 2 week check up today and both my surgeon and the dietician say I am doing good. So I don't feel too bad :)

I have a couple of confessions.


1.) I started eating very soft solid foods at the end of week one. I was so tired of drink fluids with no substance. (after surgery I no longer liked my protein drinks).

2.) I like my sugar now more than I did before surgery. So I allow myself 2 tablespoons of ice cream every once in a while (meaning about ounces every two days).

I know I have been bad. But I am trying to do better. The fist step is to admitting it. So here it goes.

Hello everyone, my name is Cheyara and I am in love with ice cream. I have had this problem all of my life. LOL.

you know.. I never really liked ice cream pre op... and kind of thankful I don't now....

BUT... cake on the other hand.... YUM..  (visual:  vanilla cake with chocolate icing.. with a very large glass of ice cold milk)...  FOOD porn....

Everything in moderation... (or so I am told)....lol..

Food porn! Love it.
