Do it. ..I paid cash and seeing the dietician and therapist was great. I see the dietician with my surgeon at each eating change. I had surgery July 26th. Sent from my SM-N900V using the BariatricPal App

I've seen varied posts from vets to other newbies in response to threads like these. And just like the vets, I'm not going to sugar coat it.
That was very unwise.
Even if you CAN eat something like that, doesn't mean you should. Your body just underwent a very traumatic thing, and is still healing. You should be following your doctors plans to the letter when it comes to post-op diet. For at least the first month you won't be able to (most, not all) feel extreme hunger, or fullness. Meaning you could overeat and cause a leak, perforation, or damage. There's a reason most surgeons have you on liquids for the first two weeks post-op. Then you gradually in soft foods and others as the time progresses. You being able to eat those things now does not mean the surgery was unsuccessful.
I won't echo what most say about commitment, because I do fully believe that some people are just not always fully aware of the harm they could be causing. However, you signed up for this surgery and had it done. You need to realize that your eating habits have changed, and you cannot just jump right back into food.
I'm 3 days away from being 2 months post-op and I only JUST had my first taco (made with ground turkey, and a cheese shell--no carbs) this week. I could only eat one, and that was enough for me. At 6 days you should still be focusing on getting in liquids.
If you find you're confused or don't know what you can or cannot have, talk to your surgeon and nutritionist. That's what they're there for.

Find a surgeon and bariatric team that you can trust, then trust them. Don't substitute your (or the Internet's) judgment for theirs.

Well, I can give you a run-down of what I experienced the day of surgery. Of course, everyone will be a little different.
I arrived 2 hours before my surgery time and checked into the hospital. This involved about 20 minutes of answering questions about my medical history. A nice elderly gentleman then showed up to take me to holding area of the operating room. Here, I was required to pee in a cup to ensure that I was not pregnant. In a curtained room, I put on the hospital gown, removed my contacts, and tagged the personal items I brought for my hospital stay. Right after that, my surgeon came in to say hello and told me that he was running ahead of schedule, so I could have surgery ASAP!
Everything moved very quickly after this point. Numerous nurses confirmed my medical history, took my blood pressure, and inserted my IV, etc. A few moments later the OR people arrived and I got wheeled into the OR on a bed. In the OR, I was placed on the operating table and they placed my mask. Just like that I was out and next thing I knew, I was waking up in recovery. I felt quite a bit of pain and nausea, but that was quickly remedied with medications. After that I drifted in and out of sleep and was taken to my hospital room.
In my room, I rested, but didn't really feel like watching TV or chatting with my family. I got up to walk a few times. I used my pain pump when I felt pain, but didn't really feel any more nausea. Overall, not too bad. Nurses came in regularly to check on me and my surgeon even stopped by to see how I was doing. The hardest part was the fact that I'm a stomach sleeper, so never feel really comfortable in the hospital bed.
Hope that helps! Good luck to you! You can do this!

Thanks Kristen !! My diet allows only 5 Protein shakes per day, crystal light, decaff tea and the SF Jello and pops. They told me I could add chicken broth and I just did a quick run to go get some bc I'm at work. I'm seeing that other people are allowed more things which I think it's awesome. My dr said since they're affiliated with the Cleveland clinic they also follow their processes.
