I had a Big Mac four days out.....

WHAT?? Don't judge!

You're my hero! I am 8 days out and cheated with scrambled eggs but wish I had had the nerve to go for the Big Mac.

Big Mac? The nurses at the hospital when I was sleeved told me that a patient woke up demanding a Big Mac.

I advanced to puréed food a few days early and same for soft food. So far I've only eaten what I'm supposed to but I'm practically on solids. I keep ordering grilled shrimp and every place over cooks the crap out of it, making it tough and chewy. I'm on a business trip so I have no control over the cooking. Chew, chew, chew.

I am on week three and have been super compliant with no cheating. I am not judging anyone, but I did not go through this derail myself in any way. When I want something sweet, I have a gelatein or sugar free pudding. Maybe, I may take a few bites of something sinful a few months down the road when I have lost 75 or 80 pounds. I want to be on my way to a good form by my 25th anniversary in June.

How much could you have eaten with your new stomach 4 days post op? It had to be a chore.

Girl you know that was me! I tried to sneak it into the operating room but they found it! Just wanted back what was mine :P

Disclaimer;

this was said for joking purposes only

Of course I didn't eat a Big Mac or even a bite of a Big Mac!! That can give you LEAKS!

And it wasn't on my three week full liquid diet...

I am 4 months out and down nearly 70 pounds. I personally think my little indulgences have been worth it, and I don't regret even one of them.

In theory there shouldn't be any "cheat" foods. With a sleeve you are only restricting the amount of what you eat' date=' not what you eat. If you are having problems digesting a certain food, after a bit of time, you should be able to eat them. I would never deny myself something that I really wanted, that's the easiest way to fail. Denying yourself then giving in, leads to guilt, guilt leads to more eating, more eating leads to weight gain. Eating healthy 99% with an occasional treat, is just fine and is a sensible approach. Your sleeve will let you know when you've gone overboard.[/quote']

And weight gain leads to the dark side, it does. Ha ha...I couldn't let that go John!

eh i'm still supposed to be on full liquids for 2 more weeks' date=' been on liquids for a total of 6 so far.... I'm currently eating blended potato Soup that has not been strained...so that's 2 strikes. should have just been the cream of the potato and not the potato and I didn't strain it. It's not all that lumpy and i chew the crap out of the lumps BECAUSE I CAN...i've missed chewing, give me a break.

oh and no no's....yeah I had a hershey's chocolate bar on 2 separate occasions...Yes the whole bar and while it took me a little to eat it, I suffered no real difficulties...I'm not even sure I'm remorseful. This diet has been hell, I see a bunch of people crab about the week long preop, I'd just like to say to them, "that's just the warm up!" but then I think or right, it's really just my dr that has us do 8 solid weeks of liquid diet post op. I have a bone to pick w/ my nut who had the balls to say to me that she gets no complaints on the liquid diet stage about the 8 weeks they keep us on it...[/quote']

What! 8 weeks! Wtf! That's crazy! I'm 3 weeks out and I'm on the mushy stage..

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
