Hello all. This is the first time I've posted anything. :) I had my surgery about a month ago, and now I'm eating everything. My doctor said it's normal to experiment with hard food eating, but I haven't gone back! I feel like I can eat everything (minus the sugar of course). I haven't had any issues and am still losing weight. Do you think this is ok? Thank you all for your time.

I'm the same way. I ate beef jerkey two weeks post-op and didn't have a problem with it. 25 pounds lost since surgery Dec. 15. Not bad

Well, I started to eat food I'm supposed to again. The problem with that is that I'm throwing everything up! I think I'm throwing up 1/2 of my meals a day, and the other 1/2 of the day I'm not hungry. TG I have a post op appointment tomorrow! This is nuts.

P.S. I regret on getting the surgery everyday. Not sure if that is normal.

I know how you feel! I was throwing up most of my food also.  Went to the doctor yesterday and was advised to go back to just protein shakes and let my stomach rest for a couple of weeks then try soft foods again.  I feel your pain!!!  I am glad I am not the only one with this issue.  Please don't regret it!! I know at times I feel the same way till I weight myself and see that for the first time I am losing weight.  Hang in there, I will be thinking of you.

Shadowcrypt, I was told that I would be regretting the surgery also. Wondering if I had made a mistake, they were right.  SO I assume it is normal.
I've had a few problems with certain foods at different times. I'm not eating like the others. My main thing is I forget and try to drink with my food, that's one of my problems. I am working on correcting that!
Hope I can help,
Terrie

 Wow, you're doing great.  I had my surgery 12/13/11. Today, finally, I got down 64 ozs of liquid. I cannot eat more than three to four bites before I get that awful feeling in my lower chest area. I eat really slow as to NOT get that feeling. It's great that you can eat and still lose weight. Keep us updated on your progress.  Best wishes.

I've started getting nausous in the mornings. And no and I'm pregnant! lol. It seems like if I eat before 11 am I toss my cookies. The doctor also told me to keep drinking the protein shakes. What I really want is NOODLES!!!!!

I didn't mean to sound like a downer. I have lost 30 pounds and I do think I made the right decision to have the surgery. I feel better now than I have in a long time. I have more energy and my personality is happier!
I have not taken a pain pill since i got home. The Dr. has taken me off of several meds.
The only real problem I had was an allergic reaction on my stomach, I broke out in little red spots and itching was terrible. Did anyone else have this problem?
