Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 , It is reccomended that you eat chicken at atleast one month out (no sooner). Although some people still do it (like me for example), I ate chicken at 3 weeks out. The body does not absorb fats but it does absorb sugars. So, to lose the most weight, stay away from all sugary foods. Dr. K reccomended that I eat more fatty foods to help trigger the weight loss but I would rather eat healthy than to sit on the toilet all morning, lol. I don't care if I lose the weight slowly only that I continue to lose As far as I know, the body still absorbs salt the same. The white binder that you get from Dee will have all the foods you can eat in the first month. I guess there is another paper of the foods you want to avoid after the first month but I never got it. Are you looking forward to your surgery? What is the date of your surgery? Take care. -- **Wake me up from the nothing that I've become** -------------- Original message -------------- I was wondering...How far out do you have to be to eat just regular chicken? And isnt sodium the salt? Do we absorb salt? Is there a paper or somthing that says everything we absorb, and everything we only 1/2 absorb or somthing or...you know what i mean! please help... : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I ate part of a chicken breast from KFC on the way home from the hospital at 4 days post-op.....and chicken was one of the foods I was able to eat post-op with the least problems. Chicken was always one of the easiest things for me to digest and still is one of my favorite foods! I STILL love the skin, but if I eat it, I plan for bathroom time the next day!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 By the way - a disclaimer here - I was one of those who did NOT follow the typical " binder diet " . I do not recommend my post-op diet to anyone, I am just stating what worked for me personally. I had horrible nausea and I DID vomit repeatedly for several weeks post-op. I found out very early on (at about the 3rd day post-op when I snuck several bites of Rays mashed potatoes) that solid foods stayed down and soft and creamy foods came right back up. I pretty much ate what I wanted from the time I went home although I DID honestly try several times to do the " post-op soft diet " , solid foods stayed down and made the nausea disappear while soft and mushy foods made me queasy and I would vomit until I had dry heaves and was in terrible pain. I know am not alone and that there are several others here who ate the " Taco Bell " diet early post-op as well as KFC, but the binder DOES recommend waiting a little longer than we did. And just for those who wonder, Dr Z was well aware of what I was eating at all times, and he agreed that while eating a solid diet early on was not recommended, it was better than eating nothing at all, or vomiting repeatedly. Controlling my post-op nausea took several weeks (solid foods and nausea medications helped), but once it was under control I was able to better follow the typical post-op diet and I did make an effort to be compliant, but I was more comfortable and satisfied eating what my body tolerated as opposed to what the book said to eat.
