jbrodowsky reacted to KindaFamiliar in Cheating with post op diet
The following is simply my opinion...
At 12 days out, you can't cheat with the post op 'diet'..
At 12 days out, you're not on a weight loss diet...
At 12 days out, you're on a post-surgery, what's best for your healing innards 'diet'..
At 12 days out, what you're doing is going against a medically 'prescribed' eating plan that is given to you to assist with the quicker healing and recovery from what is major surgery, and should see you thru until you're able to start eating regular food again...
So (again, in my opinion), at 12 days out, what you're doing is CHOOSING to ignore the doctor's orders and eat something that, while calorically won't make a scrap of difference long term, could (repeat, COULD, not will) have a massive effect on the time it takes to heal properly...
Of course, I'm no doctor...
I'm just some guy who has an opinion on stuff...
And yes, I know EXACTLY how difficult this stuff is...
But believe me, the rewards are so worth the inconvenience...
Good luck with your choices in the next few weeks...

Hey All,
I'm considering "Emotional First+ Aid Kit" by Cynthia Alexander.
Also "The Big Book on Gastric Bypass" by Alex Brecher
Do any of you have any other recommendations? My surgery date is April 12th, and I'm getting kind of nervous about food stuff after surgery, as well as dealing with the emotions that will come up during my journey.
Thanks to anyone with any tips!
Janice

I went into therapy before surgery to deal with my past trauma with the hopes of being more successful with weight loss.

The Emotional First Aid Kit was recommended by my surgical team. I've been reading it this week, and it's pretty good.
