Probably not if you feel okay. Of course, now Oreos sound good. Good thing I'm too lazy to go get any.

Ok thanks I felt guilty after i've been following everything else to a T I just ended up eating two Oreos three weeks of liquids is no fun I think that's why it happened

No judgement, but why would you choose oreos? You are only one week post op. Treat your sleeve as a newborn baby who is only allowed to have mother's milk or formula. Why are you keeping trigger foods around you? Maybe you don't live alone and these foods are in the house? Either way, you will have to try and deal with these moments when they come up. Sticking with your surgeon's food phases is the best thing you can do for yourself and your long term success. Best.

now i want an oreo.

if we tell you it's ok, will you be more likely to do it again?

if we tell you it's not ok, will you feel guilty and eat them again out of guilt?

you know you slipped, and you know you need to not do it again for as long as you can help it. do your very best, and make yourself proud of you.

My thought on cheating is if I can not do this 10 day liquid diet then I am not ready to have the procedure done. This is a tool and I don't want to go back to my old eating habits and regain weight. I am now on day 4 of liquid diet and I am surprised it has not been harder. I think my mindset is in the right place. I am the type of person that can't have just one bite or one cookie. So I just have to stay away. I don't think you messed up your prep but I would not let it happen again. Need to shrink that liver for easier surgery. Good luck

I'm stuck doing 21 days of ensure Meal Replacements only. It's hard!

I think you're thinking about it properly. If you can't make it through liquids without cheating, you have a high likelihood of cheating post-op as well. You've gotta get that kind of behavior in check. You can do it!

I doubt two Oreos will hurt much, but the concept behind them is dangerous. Your sleeve is a tool, and like most tools there is a right and wrong way to use them.

No judgement, as we all have our own things to overcome... But you should fight hard to keep those things away from you. Anything that's known unhealthy should be far far away from your reach right now. You gotta fight!

You can do it!
