Have you had any examination from the doctor? How is your blood work? can
you try to go back to soft foods or pureed foods for a while? How is your
excersise and protein intake? Try some bland foods like sliced cheese,
cottage cheese since you seem to like the cheese.

You don't want to have to say the surgery didn't work for you because you
couldn't eat anything but Cheezits. They have way to much salt in them
anyway. There was a period of time that i was where you are. I used
multigrain low salt soda-crackers with a little string cheese or peanut
butter. Also like the other poster suggested, go back to full liquid of
soft phase of the program and add each new food slowly and in small
amounts. Congrats on your surgery, and good luck on your weight loss
journey! 60 lbs is a great success!

I would give your sergeon a call and tell him what is happening. He is
there to help you should you have a problem that is preventing you from
eating according to your Bariatric diet. He needs to know what your
problems are and he can help you best. You need to stop eating junk foods
and get back on the diet. Your doctor will understand your issue and I am
sure he will help you back on path.

You must not be taking tiny bites ....chewing your food to mush....and are
you drinking with meals......you have to get your daily requiremnet of
protein in also and what ever you do...don't drink with meals ...it washes
the food you are eating out of your pouch quicker and you are hungry
faster.....you can eat the things you need to if you take tiny bite....eat
slowly and get all the bad things you arre eating....out of your house
....out of your enviorment.....this will only work if you are willing to
work with it.

Please know I am saying this in a caring concerned way: Cheetos are not
even real food. They are manufactured garbage labeled as food. Completely
empty, useless calories. Please, first of all, hun, make an appointment and
go see your surgeon. Secondly, go to the store today, and buy jars of baby
food. The pureed kind, not the chunky kind. You can but baby food in pureed
chicken, beef, turkey, which tastes great warmed and with a tiny pinch of
salt/pepper. Also Vegetables, veg/meat combos. Limited amounts of baby food
fruits though, as they have a lot of sugar naturally in the fruit. Please
try baby food for awhile, and throw the Cheetos out the nearest window.
Don't drink anything a 1/2 before meals, or for an hour after meals, or
during meals. Get plenty of water in between meals, which can be in the
form of Crystal Light powder mix, (try Wild Strawberry flavor!), hot tea,
and other sugar free, caffeine free, non-carbonated drinks. Centrum makes
an adult chewable multi-vitamin, Wal-Mart sells them, and sells liquid
B-Complex Vitamins, and Sugar-free chewable chocolate flavored Calcium +
Vitamin D&K supplements. Best wishes, and keep in touch with everyone
here, the people here will try their best to offer support, comfort, and
advice....

You are feeding your gut what it wants...it wants mushy carbs that bad
bacteria just love to feast on...causing you bloating (could be some of
your five lbs right there) and water retention form the sodium...It's not
easy to learn to eat denser protein...I didn't have a great time with meat
either...and I felt more nausea when i ate than anything resembling
joy...That went on for quite a while...But I followed the rules and ate
what I was supposed to eat...I ate very very slowly and purred my food for
3 months because I could not handle any chunks at all!!! There should be
no reason to bring Cheetos into your home...You should not EVEN be going
backto any of that kind of food. You should be going from soft proteins to
denser ones in stages. It's not supposed to be comfortable...That's what
the surgery is all about..."restriction" and you are still
healing. It's going to be uncomfortable for some of us. Some people have
NO troubles. I rarely dumped at all...But I felt "yuck" most of
the time I was eating...Al I wanted was to eat "real" food
again...and all that mushy pureed food was not making my belly feel good
and happy. It was probably a year before I felt happy eating again...Now?
I feel almost totally normal. I can eat anything...you have to work yor way
to eating dense proteins...but going backwards and starting with junk food
is not healthy or wise...Please see your surgeon soon...You've got to get
on track...Please take your vitamins daily!

Dear Dona,
I say the following with concern,not judgement..Why would you even consider
eating Cheetos? These types of foods should not even be in your home. Throw
away the bag. Then call your surgeon and your nutritionist. You should not
be getting sick. Go back to full liquids or puree stage in the meanwhile.
Please let me know how you make out! I'm praying for you.

You really need to be focusing on proteins and veggies, not carbs. If your
stomach is sensitive, I suggest starting over with clear liquids, then full
liquids, then mushy foods, then full foods. If you slowly advance, your
stomach should be able to tolerate it. If not, something is not quite
right and your doc should be called. Have you tried pre-made protein
puddings like Snack & Slim or Instone or making your own protein
puddings with powder and ff/sf pudding mix? Easy on the stomach, low in
carbs, high on protein.
Also, a great way to get in some protein is with Whey Up protein drinks,
you can sip protein all day long. Also, protein bullets if necessary...
low volume, low in carbs, high protein.
Work at it, keep trying and making changes to find what you can tolerate
that is good for you and good things will come.
