I Want To Cheat - 10 Days Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery

I am pretty much sucking my lower lip. On 10th day out from surgery and on clear liquids. I can't take it anymore. They don't even allow sf jello. I hate sweets and find sf sweet sickening. I'm not pishing as much as I take in (3 to 4 17 oz bottles) plus a few cups of lowsalt no fat broth. Ice pops freeze my mouth. I'm going nuts and I'm ready to take a bite of cheese or other solid food without talking to the doc or nurse. I hate this.

  • Rosy, I'm sorry you're having a really rough day. At least it sounds like it. I wouldn't worry about the sodium in the egg drop soup right this minute. I agree that the liquid diet right after surgery

    If you think it's just to test you, then why are you complying? If it's arbitrary then have something not clear. How will they know? My point is: Everything is arbitrary to a degree; this is the human

  • Jello tastes like hell post-op anyway. I tried various kind but I couldn't handle sweets at all, even one tbsp of sugar in my coffee was way too sweet for me. Feeling like you want to cheat is okay

Glad you are sounding better? I will say for a week or so after getting sleeved I wondered WTH I had gotten into. Gatorade? Jello in liquid form? Pedialite? No sugar added juices(apple, cranberry)

After post op can one not do an ECA stack or is caffene and aspirin a no no for a couple of weeks? An ECA stack would definitely get your mind off of eating. Imma have to ask my doc

Ooooo I would say nay on an ECA (ephederine, caffene, aspirin) stack at just about any time - it's knda a time-bomb. Ephedrine has studies that show it to cause everything from memory loss to suppresion of immunity and healing. caffene is a diuretic and a stimulane and can contribute to depleting trace minerals. Aspirin is a thinner - and combined with the rise of your heart rate due to the other two drugs if you had a bleed it could be really bad.

Stackers are used by so many people, but no one ever goes into how they pulled a muscle (that probably shouldn't have pulled) or a bruise didn't heal well (that would have before).

I would avoid getting into the habit of associating any drug, especially stimulants and ones known to be addictive at that, to "ease" anything related to the surgery. The chances of a cross addiction are uncomfortably high as it is.

If I'm not mistaken, you can set up "push settings" within the app for push notifications.

Will don safari helmet and poke around in the app for settings. Good thought if its real!

UPDATE...it pushes but when I touch it, it goes to the forum listing...not the post from the person responding. (:

Pookie. I did my preop without and didnt find that I needed them to overcome my stomach hunger. Now post op. who cares about eating. I am going to take this opportunity to eat the best that I can while saving tons of money on foods

Thats awesome. Good for you.

I hear ya! I had to do a two week liquid diet preop that consisted of 5 8oz shakes and a nasty fiber drink.. Then post op im still on liquids and its been hard focusing on the positive. But honestly I was on a full liquid diet 3 days after surgery. Ive had sf jello regular broth, sf applesauce, they even gave me sf jello at the hospital.... Not to tell u your doc is wrong but I dnt think its gonna hurt you :)
