post just wondering how many people cheated on the full liquid stage or started mushies earlier than they were supposed to we are all addicts so who will admit and help those that have failed.im talking after surgery.i did i had cream soup early and mash potatoes allowed on full liquid stage.im nine days out today i want to eat overeasy eggs or something.anybody else eating ahead of time?and what?

I was SOOOO bad with my post-op diet. I know some people will read this and think I'm some horrible person for not following the diet to a t... but I just couldn't do it. I was supposed to be on Clear liquids for a week, then full liquids for a week, then mushies for like 2 weeks I think. I started eating mushies like a week in. I really just couldn't take it. I started solids too soon too.

I don't recommend it. I suggest that you stick it out at much as you can. Because I did that I didn't lose any weight until after a fill or two.

But honestly, I didn't have any problems with my band from it or anything. I honestly think that being 21 I healed faster and it just wasn't a huge deal. Just be careful and watch it because you want to keep losing weight. It got beyond frustrating for me...

Good luck

haha. I didn't even realize that this was from August... You're way past that stage

Thanks for posting this, I am 4 days out of surgery and I am STARVING...last night I would've killed somebody for a spoonful of Peanut Butter or oatmeal or just anything that isn't a clear liquid. I'm tired all the time and have no energy and its making me cranky.

How are you guys doing your Protein shakes?
