I had my surgery June 17th. A week ago tomorrow. I still have my drain in, I get it out in two days. I was doing pretty good at the post op clear liquid...until I started experimenting. I would chew up some yummy evil fast food and spit it out. Or I would have a tiny bite of something. Then today my best friend made some french fries and i said, well maybe it will be okay. And it was. I ate 5 french fries and they went down great, felt no pain or anything. I actually felt satisfied for the first time in a while. So, I STUPIDLY tried some refrained beans. And I am hurting. I feel bloated as hell and I have a head ache. I just feel like crap. I also tried sugar free reeses and sugar free hershey bar. I am really mad at myself. Because I have lost 20 pounds in 2 weeks! That is AMAZING and I am letting food tempt me and win. Tomorrow starts my "full liquid" diet. And I might just have another only water day to make up for my dumb mistakes. Someone please tell me you have screwed up at least once with the diets so i dont feel so horrible!

i have to give it to you straight. What you're doing is very dangerous . You can end up in a hospital for months because of a leak, you could die. Its a very real thing not a game to test out. If you weren't ready to give up crap food you should have never had surgery. I know it's hard ok, I know but you have to be strong. Don't baby yourself. don't even buy crap food anymore, you dont need that temptation. If someone else is buying it, have a serious talk with them. Your life is on the line here, the surgery is done. It's time to get serious

Yes, well, after my major screw up I got very serious. I got my drain taken out Wednesday and also talked to my doctor. I am doing much better and I'm proud of myself.

Go straight to your nut and tell him or her your sins. The diet for the most part is straight forward and not that hard. Eating crap can do you in.

get some help right away! you need to find a therapist who specializes in food addiction and eating disorders. you didnt go through all this to crash and burn. get the help you desperately need! good luck.

Good for you kaitlyn! I hope to be strong like you when my will is challenged!

Hey I just came back from my college orientation a few days ago. And I cheated. I found foods that did work for me though, but that dosent mean I should. I wished I didn't, but I literally had nothing else too. I ate the cheese off of pizza. I had roasted potatoes with meat, which bothered me some. And two things that didn't bother we're pop chips and welches gummies. But I'm going to get back on track. I did realize that going to school with my new sleeve was going to be a lil harder than I thought! But your not in this alone. And if you ever want to talk I'm here. And I had my surgery done on the 16th.
