I take it you havent been sleeved yet? Or have you?

On the two week liquid diet i slipped up about 3 times and i wont lie i needed to. I still lost 13 lbs. Not saying that you should but a little bit of chicken is not going to ruin everything...that being said if you are post op and only a few days out you will not enjoy the feeling.

Why would you need to take a laxative? With mostly a liquid diet you will pass any solid food you eat pretty quickly. Besides a quick weight loss they want you to do the liquid diet to clean out your bowels as a lot of people get constipated after the surgery.

You slipped up not the end of the world..just move on from there! We all make mistakes :)

More the question is do you need to take a laxative? I would guess this will pass just like before. laxatives take awhile to work, so you probably wouldn't see results right away. Also, eating chicken is not much of a slip. Many doctors say we can eat one real meal a day of lean meat.< /p>

I'm going with you being pre-op as you are posting in pre-op questions.

If so eating chicken should not derail you but try to follow your plan.

If you were 7 days post-op you probably could not eat 6 oz of grilled chicken at one sitting.

Hey guy I had a slip up today and ate some chicken. No sauce plain grilled chicken but I ate abou t 6 oz. I'm 7 days into liquid diet and I feel pretty sick. Should I take a laxative? If so what kind? Thank you!

I confess too... I had a food funeral moment last night too :/ the weekend has been very difficult for me. We are so busy with family, kids/sports that staying on the pre-op diet has been really hard for me. Not to mention we had a birthday party to attend as well as another family function. I'm back on track today though! :)

Do not worry! You start clean tomorrow, and no talk of laxatives! That sounds like eating disorder talk. The pre op diet is so you can get use to the first two weeks post op and loose some fat from around your liver. It's makes it easier for your surgeon to work.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
