Has anyone cheated and ate whole foods on their post op diet?

[Gianacruz 19]

Me and my mom got the sleeve on July 11th. Were in cancun and were starving!!! Has any cheated and ate whole foods. We were thinking possibly watermelon and some soft meat? I know every doctors post op diet is different and everyone has a different reaction. Can anyone help?

You're only 3 days out and you want to eat whole foods? Obviously you can do what you choose but I would say absolutely not. I say this as someone who cheated one time. The night before I started my puree diet I had 2 ounces of baby food fruit because I wanted to taste something.

You are 3 days out. Your staples aren't even close to healing. They've only just started and you could very well cause yourself major complications. Drink some broth or sit outside in the sun and talk with your mom to pass the time. Whole foods are going to bring you problems, in my opinion.

It's just tempting cuz eveyone is barbaqueing at the hotel and the smells are killing us it's not so much of our appetite. But Thankyou for the advice were just gonna fight the temptations and stick with the Gatorade and broth.< /p>

I suggest you stick to your doctor's plan - he has prescribed that for a reason. You just had major surgery and you are still healing. Eating food can hurt you and damage your sleeve. It's not worth it. You need to be kind to your body and take care of your new tiny tummy.

Stick together to keep each other strong. Maybe take a walk away from the hotel and all of the food and try to sip some Water. You are lucky to have someone on the journey with you, make the most of that. Plus you will feel awful if you eat anything you are not supposed to this soon, not to mention the guilt feelings. =)

I spent 5.5 months in the hospital because of a leak that I did not bring on myself. Almost 2 years with constant complications and severe pain and you will never know the things I have experienced to get to this place....

Go a head eat whole food and then contact me when the trouble begins and I will let you really know what your in for...

Just because the food smells good...

If you can't do it now..i am concerned about the 2 of you later on....PLEASE Stick to the program!

I am 5 days out and I'm still not hungry! Not even a little bit! I wouldn't do it though. The thought if messing up weeks of prep and endangering myself scares me away from cheating! Stay strong.

Are you taking Prilosec or something like that? That hungry feeling could be acid, as it presents as hunger. Hang tight. The restricted diet is very temporary.

You apparently have access to the internet, so go on youtube and watch a video of a sleeve surgery. It will remind you of the actual condition your new tummy is in. It is raw - with staples. Please please please walk away from the food and the smells - reduce the temptation and stay on plan. Listen to RJ's advice. She has been through so much and has your best interest at heart. Unless you want to spend the rest of your Cancun vacation in the hospital, stay...on...plan.

Stick to your diet!!! I was sleeved on June 25th. I am not one bit hungry. Sometimes the smells get to me but don't make me hungry I just go do something to keep me busy. Maybe go do your exercising that we are supposed to be doing from day 1? The dr tells you to eat certain things for a reason.
