Not really cheat, lol. Just wondering if I could go to full liquids one day early. Would it really make that much of a difference?

The Dr gave us the post of diets for a reason. LOL

I cheated and I paid dearly and it set me back a good 3 or 4 days.

DON"T cheat unless you get the ok from the Dr.

And really? What's one more day going to do to you?

Don't do it, I did and it wasn't anything crazy, but I paid for it, and won't do it again. But, I did have a small amount of apple sauce sugar free, and was ok with that.

Cheating is such a slippery slope...

I was 5 days out of surgery and was so hungry I couldn't stand it. I called my doc and he said it was ok to start on full liquids and soft foods. That first Protein shake was heaven. I had gotten so weak and had started chewing my tongue and bottom lip. I couldn't stand another broth or Jello..

I head back to the doc tomorrow... hopefully I'll move on to stage 4... eating real food. I'd love to have a salad.

LAP-BAND® Surgery was May 3.

My surgeon has her patients go straight to real food (from clear liquids) on day 4 post-op. She has no full liquid stage or puree/mushy/soft phase. I was eating Christmas dinner 8 days post-op. All doctors are different so do w/that information what you like. ;->

Ok, so yesterday I was post op day 5, and my doctor said I could have yogur. Yum...And today, I went ahead and had cream of chicken soup, oh boy was it good, and it worked well in my tummy. Technically, I shouldn't have had it until tomorrow, but to each his own...

I may take that into consideration, but won't go crazy, thanks!!!

It is funny how all docs are different. I had surgery on Monday & was released on Tuesday. WhenI left they said to stay on full liquids until next weeks apt. I have been having protein shakes & tomato soup.
