Has anyone ever gotten 1-3 weeks post up, been on Clear liquid or Full Liquid and "cheated" and ate some real solid food?

If so, what did you feel like after??

Even though I'm a bandster, I did. I felt fine but went back to the liquid diet because I didn't want to hurt my band.

Thanks Lady VS - I'm taking it easy and drinking a lot of my meals. I'm still trying to get in touch with my surgeon though, I keep having to leave a message (irritated).

Figure of speech people!! Sorry for tipping ur halos! I have cheated if that's what u call it and I have had no problem with it, a few things I wouldn't recommend, but if u chew anything well enough isn't it puréed???? Yes! But as I said in my first post chew chew chew

No, chewing doesn't really substitute for pureeing. The blender cuts the fibers in the food much better/more thoroughly than our teeth do.

Yes. You will find posts like that all the time. It never ends well. It's dangerous, stupid and just foolhardy to do. Is whatever the temptation is worth causing a possible leak? Your stomach is still healing and you can cause major damage to it upto and including death. Best case, most people reported it hurt like hell and they puked all over the place and generally felt like **** for the next few hours. If you haven't done it, don't. If you have, don't do it again. Don't mean to sound preachy but that would just be a dangerous thing to do!

I guess you call call me a liar as well, because I did not cheat during my pre or post-op diet. I did not consider and then undergo surgery to eat like I did previously.
