Has anyone else "cheated" on the full liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

I have three days left of the full liquids, and then I'll switch to pureed foods. However, today I had a lapse in judgment...I ate a small piece of roast beef (deli meat). I chewed it really well, but I felt so guilty afterwards! I don't feel sick or anything, but is there a chance I could have hurt my staple line? I'm freakin out a bit :-/

I think you'll be ok. When was your surgery? Mine was 12-31 and I've been eating soft foods for almost a week. Soup, mashers, cream of wheat and tonight..chili!

I doubt you have done any damage. Each doctor has their own timeline for the different stages of the diet. I left the hospital on soft/pureed foods.

I doubt you did damage, but no i didn't cheat. The diet is only a few weeks of your whole life. You can do it.

I'm sure you'll be fine. Having said that you did skip ahead quite a bit! :)

I know what it's like, you just want to bite something.

Do your best to stick to it, and maybe if you were going to skip ahead it should have been a puree / mashed something.

Good luck!

I jumped a few days by having a few tablespoons of liquidy mash potatoes and oatmeal. I also jumped ahead last week once --I had a soft boiled egg that I left in too long and it came out like soft HARD boiled egg. I took a few fast small bites and OMG.... I was in immediate pain. PAIN. It felt like I was having a heart attack. I just kept walking around in a state of semi-panic waiting for it to pass. I believe it happened because the egg and especially the egg yolk was way too dry.

I was only on full liquids for 1 day. My surgeon doesn't think it necessary. I had no problems eating soft foods by day 2 and then regular food on day 14.

I too was given the green light to eat reg food on day 14. & yes, I actually ate some mashed potatoes the first week...no problem.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
