W2B reacted to Missy161 in What Post-Sleeve Rules Do You Break?
I have started eating small quantities of sweets- like a scoop of sherbet or 2 chip ahoy Cookies. I track everything I put in my mouth and my dr actually said it's ok as long as I follow Protein first and really limit carbs to 25% or less of my caloric intake.

8 weeks post op. Haven't cheated a day. Too scared to mess things up again. I failed on so many diets before through my own fault. I am very good at self sabotaging. This time I am sticking to the book.

For me it's the no carbonation rule. I have always loved seltzer and now all the flavored no-sweetener, no-sugar La Croix varieties are my go to treats. I don't understand why there's a no carbonation rule, and I've read in some places it's a huge no-no and in others that it doesn't matter. I will not go back to diet drinks, I never really liked them anyway. But that flavored seltzer is sometimes the only thing that keeps me at a good Water intake for the day.

So glad you decided not to....the risk is just not worth the relax. I'd suggest hot tea and a warm bath, or aromatherapy. But my go to would be Xanax, lol.

The question is why ? Why do you want to this close? Is red wine on your pre op plan ? No. So why would anyone here advice you to go against your plan. You haven't even started yet. And your already wanting to not listen to your plan.

Oh please don't jeopardize your prep with the red wine. My BMI is low, but have had the fatty liver in the past, regardless. If your surgeon gets in and things are "right" he/she won't proceed. It's truly not worth the risk.
That said, you are an adult, so make the choice you are comfortable with. I've had to have a lot of surgery. and just feel strongly that the prep is there for a really good reason, besides torment1

Most surgeons will proceed even if the liver is enlarged. Once they open you up, most wouldn't walk away from a $10,000 payday. Cash rules everything around us.
Here's the caveat...rather than a minimally invasive laporascopic sleeve, they'll do an open procedure and use a liver retractor to ensure the enlarged liver is out of their way while operating.
An open procedure entails a large incision, lengthier recovery, and increased chance for infection. For me, the glasses of wine wouldn't be worth it.
