One week post op- went to a client site today where I sipped Isopure all day. Client brought in lunch- I sipped my Isopure. Meeting ended 2 hours late, got stuck in traffic, went way too long without my broth, got home, was warming up my broth and my son had a leftover cookie on the counter and I took a fairly big bite, chewed it up and swallowed it, then thought, "Oh crap, I'm an idiot." Please tell me I'm not the only one that does something this stupid? I don't think I'll make this mistake again- my tummy is not happy.

I can't imagine you are the only one to slip. At least now you are aware that you are at risk to mindlessly eat something and will be better prepared next time. This whole thing is a learning process.

That's what I'm hoping for- that I'm not the only one. Maybe I had a bigger problem with mindless eating than I ever thought? Guess that is why they call it mindless.

Seriously 1 bite won't kill you. I'm 1 month post Op and had 100's of cravings and I'm not going to lie I did take a bite here and there, sometimes maybe you have to take a bite to realize you don't want it. I mean really, you didn't sit down and eat the whole thing. You'll be fine.

Oh my gosh I did the same thing today took a bite of some fish because I miss chewing thinking I was going to spit it out and it was so good and soft I swallowed it and felt so bad

Definitely not alone!!!! We all slip on occasion!!

Cravings...1 week out post-op and I feel like I'm starving? Any one else?

Slip ups are hard. I know I specially have problems when cooking for my family, when I'm cooking it's hard not to taste it, not so much cuz I wanna eat it but I do wanna know how it tastes before I give it to my kiddos.

Don't beat yourself up about it. If you make a bad decision just try and do better tomorrow <3

I have a lot of cravings- I'm not starving necessarily, but when I smell dinner, I just want so much to have a bite. I'm doing good, but there's an emotional aspect to it I wasn't expecting.

I remember wanting to eat something that smelled good, but physical urge to eat at that point was excess stomach acid. Being careful about taking my acid inhibitor helped that a lot.
