I feel like this is something most surgeons should do. I'm doing exceptionally well post surgery and am dying for that approval to the blended stage. Lol. Just as you said "as tolerated". That not only releases some of the pressure off of the patient to be 110% with the liquid diet, but it also allows the surgeon more insight on how they're progressing. The patient is able to try newer foods of different texture in case they can't find something liquid like to keep down. Thank you for sharing that experience!! Fingers crossed I get approved for the blended foods myself next week. Haha! Follow my You're not being critical to me at all. I'm following orders as I should. I'm simply asking for experiences of those who did not follow. Thanks. Follow my

But your words here define the real issue. This isn't a diet. It is a prescription given by the doctor that provides your body nourishment at the same time that it gives your body time to heal from surgery. It is dangerous to ask people to comment on violating that prescription. Making choices (good, not so good, or otherwise) pre-op is one thing; post-op is something completely different (that could be deadly). Okay, so you came in my thread continuing the trend of not answering the question. To me, it is a diet. It's a way of eating for a certain period of time. My surgeon, nurses, everyone calls it that. Not orders. There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking people about their experience with not following the diet plan. I know what the risks are. They kind of tell you that before you head in for the surgery. We all know the risks. However, that does not mean everyone follows them. Plenty of people who have had the surgery, knew the risks of not following the pre-op diet. Did that stop them from cheating? Absolutely not. Even though one of those risks was possibly death or not getting the surgery at all, temptation made itself known, and they still cheated. Now is it dangerous to ask them how their surgery went even though they cheated? Absolutely not. You're simply asking about their experience. The decisions you make both pre & post op will determine the rate and level of success with the surgery. A decision from both sides of the surgery can also mean death, not just post op. So if you have anything pertaining to the question at hand such as an experience of your own, I'd love to hear! But don't come on here trying to diagnose issues from a simple question. Follow my

I can't edit the post, but congrats to everyone that followed their diet. I was asking those who did *not* follow the diet what happened. Follow my

This is exactly how I am currently. I have one more week of the full liquid diet and I feel like I'm ready to move on to the blended/puréed side of the diet. I have my one week follow up tomorrow and I'll mention it to them and see what they say. I found I'm able to take bigger sips now too which is absolutely wonderful! Follow my

Did you swallow the meat? Did it hurt you or anything? Follow my

I'm not hitting it at all. Not even a little bit! What do you guys do to hit your Protein within those first few days?? (Sleeved 01/09/17) Follow my

I'm a few days post op, and I started my period literally thee exact day I got home. My periods are not regular, but I just had one a week or so ago. It's very heavy! Anyone else experience this?! I expected this because I'm putting my body under a lot of shock. But, I didn't expect how heavy it is. Please tell me I'm not alone. I can't deal with healing and this all at once. lol Follow my

I was sleeved 09 January, and I am finally home and in recovery. My surgeon was able to do the single incision and I'll insert a photo here so those of you that are interested, can see! The whole day (and first few days post op) was documented on my YouTube channel as well!! However, I still feel actual hunger pains in my tummy & I also have the hiccups really bad. They're very painful. Did any of you experience either? I'm walking and whatnot, so not sure what else I can do. Ah!!! Still so unreal that I've been SLEEVED!! *the scarring above my belly button is from an old belly button piercing. The surgery was done through my actual belly button* Follow my

@@Raymia thank you!! I'll have the whole video uploaded later on today! I wish you could too. The pain is very minimal! Follow my Thank you so much!! I don't scar very well, so I couldn't do with the 5 incisions. Haha!! Lucky you for no hiccups!! Follow my

@@Malin that's seriously so odd!! I never would hiccup, but now I hiccup all the time & they're absolutely painful!! Feels like my heart is going to stop every time! Follow my

I am on Day 9 or 10 of my pre-op diet & IM GAINING WEIGHT! Why on this green earth would I be gaining weight?! My Fluid intake is phenomenal, I'm hitting every last calorie and macronutrient goal you can think of, yet, I'm gaining. I'm friggin gaining! I tried implementing exercise, I've tried not exercising and just focusing on the diet. Just why! This is so incredibly discouraging because I'm literally over here STARVING from the lack of calories and gaining, when I can easily eat whatever I want and gain! I'm following the plan to a T just so I don't have any complications post surgery. But I'm starting to lose hope. I keep telling myself to stay off the scale, but how else will I know what's working?! Just. Someone. Anyone. Please tell me what could possibly be happening or how I can fix this!! I'm trying everything I can to NOT cheat, but things like this is what's pushing me closer to the edge. *Also, I'm aware of Water retention, etc. But I lost 7 lbs the first week. Now, it's steadily going back up. It started going up by .4, then a pound, now a few pounds. * Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Oh I hope I can get a picture of mine. I vlog and I would love to show everyone interested! Lol! Follow my

I'm apparently getting one of each in & from my experience working in a hospital, my patients never like either & appear to be in so much pain when we take them out. Can someone tell me what the pain is like? All I'm finding online is that the drain just feels weird. Doesn't really hurt. But Catheters/Foleys, I'm not really finding anything. Follow my

hey everyone! I was wondering if any of you have gotten the single incision vsg? If not, would you much prefer that one over your multiple incision one? I have the choice of either and am wanting the single incision, however, I fear about the increased chance of a hernia.

@@Military Ma do you mean premier Protein blended with ice?! You're about to have me over here blending it up all the time. Hahahaha!!! I'm getting so sick of these things!! The sugar free popsicles is what's getting me to that 600 calories! Follow my

@@Bufflehead ah very true. I just haven't been losing which is what's making me a little concerned. I've rang my nutritionist, so hopefully she can tell me some more foods I can have. Thank goodness it won't affect my metabolism! Haha! I thought it would destroy it! Follow my

*This is cross posted. I'm not sure how to delete the older post* Did you regret it post surgery? Like, now that you can't eat a whole lot at once, do you regret not having that "Last Supper?" Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
