I'm upset with my self I'm 2.5 weeks post op and I poured my son a bowl of chips and popped one in my mouth! I guess out of habit as I didn't realize it until it was too late.- I'm still on liquids until next week, at which time I move to full liquids. Hopefully all is okay and I don't do damage!

3 1/2 weeks out and I did the same thing but I did it on purpose. A tiny bite of a corn chip with salsa. Not cheating to me. JUST DID IT.

So you had one chip.. You're okay... Life goes on.. Just follow your Doctors instructions.. You are going to cheat every now and then.. I really doubt there is anyone who doesn't cheat once in a while.. If you over eat or cheat at one meal, just make sure you don't do it the next meal.. Or the next day.. But try not to beat yourself up to bad.. We are only human!

I didn't die, my stomach is fine. I worry about leaks when the swelling goes, I worry that I did some damage. But I don't think I did. I start full liquids next week and can't bloody weight. this has been a long three weeks!! the next shall pass a little quicker as there is more variety in the diet then I'm on to 1 week of softs, and then regular food! Whew! THis has been a lot of work and a definite challenge.
