Cheat?

[minmin06 1]

IF you cheated on your liquid diet what did you eat? How did your surgery go. Im on day 5 its tough as hell and haven't cheated and don't plan to but am curious how it went for others.

I was sleeved July 14 and can say the liquid faze was the hardest. The urge to chew can be overbearing. That being said, I admit to tasting a few things that required some chewing BUT I was sure to chew, chew, and chew some more. I am on soft foods now so it is getting better but I still miss chewing. Once you can get to the soft foods stage it'll get better because you can incorporate more flavors into your diet and I've found this to reduce the urge to chew.

So far I am down 20 post op, 20 pre total 40.

Between pre and postop I was on liquids for 34 days. For 16 of those (preop) I was hungry every day. So what? It was only temporary and a very small price to pay for a HUGE reward. And the fact I did it without cheating was very empowering....it just made me stronger and more confident. Keep your eye on the end goal and know that following all directions is the best thing you can do to have a safe surgery and smooth recovery.
