Who has cheated and has eaten regular food. And is still alive. On the first week?

Officially hijacked!

Huh?

@shewin1 Keep your head up, where there is a will there is a way! Stay positive even though its a bump in the road it just means its going to take a little longer for you to get there. But you will get there.

Officially hijacked!

There you go again, do you go lookin for trouble or does it just find you naturally?

I have not so great credit' date=' I have to have a co-signer & the only person I asked was my mom and she said no. She's very negative about it and doesn't want me to have it done. The only other thing I can think of doing is a payday loan. And I'm not sure I want to do that and not sure what that entales. So, unless I win the lottery? I will have to push backy date. 8**([/quote']

Local or Mx?

I sucked the cream filling out of some twinkies....

....then stuffed a jalepeno sausage in them and ate it with relish.

Kidding....kidding.....I didn't have any relish' date=' that would have been foolish.[/quote']

Don't do a payday loan!! It's like 80% interest! My husband and I have really sucky credit (finally building it up now) so I know what it's like. Do you have insurance? If not do you qualify for Medicaid? Medicaid is paying for everything 100% for me or I wouldn't be getting it. It's perfect timing because my husbands work insurance (which is ridiculously expensive) kicks in in September so I just made it.

I am 2 weeks post op today and onto the "puréed" stage. I also had the pre-op liquid diet for 4 WEEKS which was such a joy:)

Truth: My opinion is that every body type is different and reacts differently. There are some things you should plain just not eat right now (fried foods, tough meets, soda, alcohol etc) but others I feel are in the grey area. I'm on puréed foods and had a very small piece if deli turkey (size of my pinky). I chewed and chewed, took it very slowly, listened to my body and I feel great. I've had a few veggies that have been so steamed they melt in my mouth and then I chewed and chewed and chewed. I think you are the only one who knows if its worth it and how your body is healing. Of course you should be careful, but no judgement here;) good luck!

Huh?

Meaning that the topic has COMPLETELY changed from what the Original Poster asked :-).

There you go again, do you go lookin for trouble or does it just find you naturally?

Haha! Both???!!

It's ok, threads get "hijacked" every day :-)

@ SD_mini. Thank you for that. Today after all the comments I've gotten so far is enough to get me back on track . Very helpful. This is difficult very very difficult. More than I bargained for. I'm glad I have made it this far but, it is only the beginning. Where my mind hasn't realized that I'm losing weight.. I am trying harder from here on.

Don't do a payday loan! They are a scam and you will never get out from under it

Haha! Both???!!

My kind of girl! :D

I keep having dreams that I eat a handful of something and then realize I am in the liquids stage of the diet...then I wake up all upset. I am 1 week post op and today was making my husband some cucumber salad. I always taste each end of the cucumber for bitterness before I slice it into the salad. So today, out of habit, I just popped a piece of cucumber into my mouth to taste and started chewing it...thankfully I realized before I swallowed it what I was doing. I couldn't believe I almost ate it without even thinking...old habits die hard...but sooo glad I caught myself

I know what you mean!!! I gave my dog some Peanut Butter in her Kong and almost licked my finger with the little bit of extra!

Those dreams are scary. I keep dreaming about lasagna! Ever since day one!
