No, I have not cheated but I really want some real food. This liquid diet is soooo hard. Its even harder when my husband and kids eat everything they want in front of me and the smells are in the house. How cruel, they ate pizza which i love and choc chip Cookies which I could eat 10 or more of. Now, I would kill for just a bite!!! I know how you are feeling but do not cheat, it is not worth the risk of causing a leak. I would cheat if I could but I cannot afford going to the hospital with complications of leak or something else. Hang in there, just take it one day at a time! We will get there soon!
