I'm currently on the 2 week liquid diet, and I'm worried because I had a little bit of eggs this morning, and a few days ago a soup with some noddles.

don?t worry, just make sure to not do it again, there?s always a next day. goodluck!!!:bored0:

I had a tough time but didn't cheat because I was too scared to cheat. Hang in there, you can do it.

Don't cheat yourself. You need to give your new stomach a chance to heal properly. It won't be much longer, then you can have the soft scrambles egg, and other soft foods. Just remember you did this for you. Soon you are going to be losing a lot of weight, it is worth waiting for.

I was terrified to cheat - I was sure my little stomach would rip open! Also, I just wasn't hungry. I kept a water bottle with protein drink mix in it with me all the time, this kept me hydrated and being well hydrated usually keeps phantom hunger away as well. Stick with your doctor's orders, you'll be happy you did!

Thanks guys! I feel much better reading your posts now! :biggrin0:

Thanks guys! I feel much better reading your posts now! :biggrin0: I realized today, that jello is a lifesaver. It gives you something to chew on to really stop craving something to eat. I hated the sugar-free taste at first, but I've gotten used to it!

i'm only 5 days out, but i'm scared to cheat! i dont want to undo what was just done. i think it helps too that i dont feel hungry. i made dinner for my husband and son last night and i was so proud of myself that i didn't even care that i wasn't eating! i know this is just temporary and that i'll be eating something soon.

Good for you! I can't be anywhere near food at all or I'll be tempted, but you went and made dinner for your family! Lol, I had to turn down the father's day cookout today...too much temptation.

I don't know if you are preop postop. Since this is the preop section.

My surgeon only requires clear liquids the day before and the day after sugery.

I'm only going to eat real Jello. Even if I was doing a week long liquid diet I would eat regular Jello.

If you read the ingredients on the sugar free Jello box, it's basically a bunch of chemicals, artifical colors and aspartame as a sweetener.

The reason for sugar free foods is to prevent the "Dumping Syndrome" if you ever have that happen to you, believe me you will go with the sugar free everything for a while. at least 5 to 6 weeks out.
