Getting Real

By MsDebi

· 548 views

So today I came to the sudden realization that I have not been very real with myself. I had my sleeve on Monday, 3/5/12, and followed the post op diet for ..... 2...3 ....days?? Then I just started eating little bites of various things. Nothing really bad...a tad of cheddar here, a piece of chicken nugget there, a bit of shrimp,... None of these things are terrible, but my sleeve is not ready for them. I need to slow down and let the sleeve do it's job and stop pushing to the finish line when I have barely begun the race.

 

So, I'm back on track and following the Dr.'s post diet orders. I'm actually feeling better...a lot less discomfort. Who'da thoought the doc would know what he was talking about? LOL

 

So today I get real and use this tool and not abuse it. :) Makes for a happier, healthier me.

    Good for you. Stay on track surgery buddy! Just remember that although that cheese, etc might taste good your stomach needs time to heal and having a leak because you couldn't say no to a chicken nugget isn't worth it!

    HI, glad to know I am not the only one. Had the surgery 3/5/12 also and I had the seasoning off tomato basil chips and potatoes out of my creamed soup. Feeling guilty that I didn't stay committed.

    I did so much better today! My first NSV for sure! I stuck to the post op diet and feel so much better! I even got more fluids in. I also switched from crystal lite to the low cal gatorade. I think my body needed the extra boost right now.

    Thanks for the support!!
