Everyone, I feel like I'm severely screwed up. I had my VSG 10/27 and when I checked out of the hospital and waited several hours at the airport, I ate (sucked on for it to dissolve) 2 inches of a Milky Way, ate 2 runts (candy) and ate 1 gummy fish. Yes, crazy! It is now 11/1 and since I've returned home on 10/30 I've been doing the liquid diet but also eating tiny bites of this or that --- it's crazy. I just ate 10 salsa verde doritos and 8 mini oreos this afternoon! I am not throwing anything up nor do I feel nausea to help provide some sort of physical block for me to continue. What the hell? Am I the only one insanely crazy? I am so angry with myself. Regretting already having the surgery, it's apparent I have a major mental addiction and feel like I have to have this or that. I was desperately hoping to be like many of the other VSGr's where they had no inclination to eat anything unhealthy and/or even felt some nausea if they ate to much --- this would be tremendously helpful to me now during this recuperation period. Ahh, I am pathetic. :thumbup:

You are really playing with fire. Just because you say you feel fine, doesn't mean you are. Like someone said, a tiny particle could get stuck in your staple like and cause a severe infection as well as a leak.

Then you will end up in the ICU for awhile and not be able to eat for a long time. You should contact Tiffy and find out what she went through with pockets of infection.

All I can say is, ITS not worth it! Just think about the risks and stay away! I do believe that the further along you get the easier it gets (because you do actually get to eat certain things eventually). I am about 7 wks out and I dont have cravings at all, where in the beginning I did.

Just hang in there and don't eat another thing off plan!

I don't understand how you can even tolerate those foods. I'm 3 1/2 weeks post-op and still have trouble keeping anything down. The quantities just sound like too much for this surgery. I don't see how you have the physical capacity for these things if the surgery was done correctly. I eat less than an ounce of food and have to stop, so I'm just wondering how you can eat three mini-candy bars. I'm sorry you're experiencing this. I'm one of the lucky ones - I don't have any hunger or cravings. I do have other issues though, I burp almost constantly which makes eating difficult and I am having a lot of trouble getting the protein drinks in.

I'm a lost cause... I just had a few small bites of my daughters Pepperoni pizza (pizza hut) -- of course I'm chewing everything to almost a puree but still, this is crazy. Last night when I checked her Halloween bag, I believe I hate 3-4 mini candybars.... yes! Of course, I'm taking tiny bites but still. Ahhh, anyways I am starting first thing tomorrow (but boy, the first part of this sentence sounds like my typical broken record) --- But anyways, I'll start again tomorrow and try to work one day at a time and stick to the pure clear liquid diet just one day and then work on day 2 completing it. My frustration is I haven't stuck to the liquid diet in it's complete perfection AT ALL. I really want to do this successfully, my gosh I paid thousands of dollars out of my own pocket. I am severely screwed up. Maybe I just wasn't ready mentally for the surgery, I don't know. Anyways, tomorrow I will give my everything to start and complete 1 day of the clear liquid diet. Thanks for listening:sad0:
