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...

Laura I know ur kidding. No problem. U have a great since of humor. :)

I had 1/4 of a Reese's peanut butter cup today. I'm 15 days post op. it was so good. I wish it would have made me sick. Lol

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!

I'm going to have to "Unfollow" this thread - y'all are scaring me! :o LOL

Progress, not perfection - but please don't hurt yourselves!

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..

OMG...I needed to read some of these. Made me Laugh outloud! Im 6 days out from surgery and I'm dreaming about grabbing food and popping it in my mouth only to remember I can't eat it and spit it out. May have to try the dorito thing...lol
