Safe to eat burgers and fries after ileostomy?

Hi everyone! I am almost 10 weeks out from my ileostomy and haven't had a burger and fries yet! Is it safe to eat these?!? #starving!! Lol

Here's my most complex answer:  YES!!

Addendum:  Chew it up real good.  Don't overdo on the fries.  I find that potatoes in most every guise thickens me up, but not so much that it keeps me from eating them.  Enjoy.

Good question! I get my permanent ileostomy in 5 days!

Good luck.

Thanks!

Same with potatoes. Definitely thicken things up.

I would be cautious if your burger has tomato, lettuce, or relish on it. Make sure you chew really well, and wash it down with lots of fluids. Enjoy!

Hell yes!

About the same time after ileo surgery, that's exactly the food I craved too! Or to be precise, a double bacon and cheeseburger, fries and a serve of onion rings washed down with a chocolate thickshake!

Congratulations on getting your appetite back, that's one of the best feelings ever.

Bon appétit!

Thank you!!

Best of luck to you.

I had exactly that last night for dinner.

Hi Miss, when I had resection surgery a few years ago, I had my wife get a kids' meal burger and fries from BK, and boy did that hit the spot. But like others said, chew real well and drink a lot with it.

I have an ileostomy since 2012-04-20, and I eat everything. However, due to problems with my teeth (due to 6 months of radiation), I use cashews etc. in a smoothie in a blender.
The key is to drink lots of fluids (mostly water). I have never had dehydration issues, even though several medicines (diabetes, blood pressure) do cause dehydration.

I stopped on the way home from having my ileostomy done, (about a month after receiving this monster) best burger I ever had!
