You wanted to shower with other guys???

It wouldn't matter if they had. Don't do it. You don't need validation that other people have done this, too - if they did, they were wrong, too.
Follow your surgeon's guidelines. They are there for a reason. If you can't adhere to a post operative diet for a few weeks, you will have real issues down the road, so I suggest you look for some local support in the form of a group or personal counselor.
The hard part of this process is not losing the weight - it's dealing with the relationships we have with food and how we use food in ways that "healthy" people do not. There were other options to "get rid of that taste" and you went for the foods you should be avoiding right now (and until you're well into loss, I'd add) so I'd take a look at that behavior and work on it.
One (or two, or three) slips are not the end of the world, but your sleeve needs to heal, first and foremost. We don't have to be perfect, but we do need to be cautious and make smart choices.
Don't be the poster one year from now frustrated with yourself because you haven't lost much weight due to the fact that you didn't work your sleeve and started eating around it as soon as you healed.
Don't go down this path.

Unmm.....Yeah.... No.

I've been drinking the low-cal Gatorade lately because I just can't bring myself to drink enough plain water. The Gatorade has more carbs than I'd like, but right now I figure staying hydrated is more important!

I can't decide if this will be tonight's dinner or tomorrows breakfast!?
Thanks for sharing!
