OMG..... I Will Not Be Doing That Again

[switcher]

I am almost 7 weeks post by pass. Last night my hubby had chippy for tea, I decided I wanted something other than 'mush' so I ordered a peice of KFC style chicken. I only has 2 'strips' of it, but it was horrible, I kept having to rush to bathroom and burp it up! I have stupidly done the same today with a thorntons choc bar. I have had a quarter and here I am again feeling like I have acid in my gullet and keep having to bring it up. Is this normal? Am I trying to run before I can walk?

As you're from Cannock I expect you will have had your GBP done at Walsall Manor? They stressed to me that the diet should be STRICTLY liquids ONLY for the first 4 weeks then puree'd for the following 4 weeks and then slowly introducing soft normal food after that.

What on earth makes you think that you know better than the surgeons that have given you this life changing opportunity by clearly ignoring what their advice tells you?

I'm sorry if this post upsets you but there are enough people on this forum who are desperate to have this sort of procedure but get turned down for one reason or another.

Please do yourself a favour and work with your bypass NOT against it.

If you need any help there are enough new and experienced bypass recipients on here to give you support.

PS.
What was your OH thinking, eating chippy in front of you anyway?

Oh Kazzie what a daft thing to do. Switcher is right and I am sure she is trying to help and not hurt. You do need to work with the bypass you are lucky you havent been ill.
Look after yourself and as Karlos says try and make sensible food choices

I'm a fellow bander...No fill yet.

I'm fine with bread, bit of heartburn, i rarely eat bread so should not cause a problem.
I can eat oatcakes too...Is this wrong?? I'm trying to not eat slider foods, Soup was an easy lunch for work... so now having lettuce, ham and oatcakes for lunch.

I have no restriction at all and on normal foods.

woooaaaa wls is a learning curve, we all make mistakes from time to time and i dont think theres many on here that havent including me, mistakes are made but are learnt from in this process and im sure you will as well make them as well at some point of your journey, i understand you mean well in your post but you or any of us can make a mistake when ajusting to the dramatic lifestyle change, just because we had a op to help us doesnt mean the chain of thought instantly changes towards food for everyone.

i hope my post hasnt offended you but i believe wls is a major learning curve that we all have to endure to become accustomed to the new life we have to re learn to live.

as for the o/h why should he change what he eats ? we chose to have wls not them, ive never ever tried to change peoples eating habbits around me because "i chose" to have wls not them, its unfair to expect others to tip toe around us regarding food when this was our choice.

best wishes

No offence taken Liz. I didn't mean to act as judge and jury to anyone. I just think it's a shame to undo the good work already done just by disregarding the advice you are clearly given by the surgery team in the hospital.

I don't doubt for one minute that a definite lesson has been learned but the pain and discomfort could have been easily avoided by heeding the advice given in the first place.

Let's face it if someone tells you not to bang your head against a brick wall, because a) it hurts and b) you could give yourself concussion you'd be a fool to do it really don't you think?

I absolutely wish everyone who undergoes this life changing surgery every success in reaching their weight loss goals, because as some of the sad posts lately testify, the outcome can be more costly than we dare imagine if things go wrong. I don't think it's unreasonable to be expected to follow the advice given to us in good faith and after years of training. Of course we are all going to lapse due to one thing or another in a moment of weakness, me included but I would hate to see anyone jeopardize what they have gone through needlessly.

With regard to the OH having to tiptoe around someone who has had wls, I agree no one should have to tiptoe around me but by the same token, there is no need to put temptation in someone's way if they have had food issues in the past, surely that's like waving a bottle of vodka in the face of an alcoholic? I think everyone on the site has their own support system around them, which includes the wealth of experience and information on this site. Which is certainly a source of support for me! I just think that the stronger and more considerate our support network is, the easier the weight loss journey can become.

I'm sorry if I have upset anyone, that wasn't my intention at all. I am only 4 weeks post op myself so I would never consider myself to be an expert, but a bit of common sense can surely go a long way?

support is the key from others that have had wls, dont expect the ppl thats around to chanege just because u have changed thro surgery it doesnt work like that x
