What's the first food you cheated with after Gastric Sleeve Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I am a week and a half out from surgery, and I had my first official full-fledged cheat today. I ate a slice and a half of avacado. :( I'm not supposed to even be trying vegetables for about another two weeks, but it just looked so good.

So, my lovely ladies and handsome gents, tell me about the first time you fell off the horse? What did you eat? How far out were you? Was it hard to get back on track? Story sharing time. ^_^

Potato chips. I was in my puree phase, and my boyfriend left his bag of chips in the kitchen. They were talking to me and I listened. I only had a small handful, and I let them get all mushy in my mouth, and they tasted sooooo good. However, Miss Tummy punished me for hours. I learned my lesson.

I ate Smart Puffs one night on my pre-surgery diet and then my next memorable cheat was at about 3 months when I ate chocolate, unapologetically, the entire Christmas season of 2013. January 1 I was right back on the wagon, but yes, I was a chocolate pig for about three weeks when I really should not have been. Oh..and I did it again this Christmas, lol. I didn't gain weight either time and I kept it to only the holidays, so am I looking forward to Christmas 2015? Oh yes I am, t-minus six months until I am going to enjoy chocolate cake, Cookies, ice cream, and candy. Until then though, I will sit here and eat my turkey roll-up.

@@Miss Mac That sucks. :(

I was a bit scared that the same thing might happen to me, but I figured that smashed avacado had a semi-simular consistency to refried Beans, so it would probably be alright. I took one bite, then used the 60 second rule before I went on to gorge myself. I did feel overly full when I was done, but I think that's because I was snarfing down the bowl of tortilla Soup in front of me like I'd never eat again. It took about thirty minutes for the completely miserable feeling to go away.

lol I would be the happiest person on the face of the planet if I could eat chocolate and not gain weight. I probably won't try my luck until next Valentine's Day though. I used to wait until the day after and stock up on Whitmans.

Once a cheater always a cheater. Two days post, I couldn't take the broth anymore, so I went to Sonic and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger with mustard, ketchup and onions. I chewed each bite about 20 times and spit it all back into the bag. Pretty nasty, but the taste, woooo weee. I felt like a fat kid in a candy shop. Awesome. But to actually eat, 5 days out, went to this great seafood place to Celebrate a major event in our family and had oysters on a half shell. Went down smooth of course and sat well. That was the same fat kid in the candy shop, but actually eating the candy.

I'm two weeks out. I just screwed up. 3 bites of pizza. The amazing thing is I feel perfectly fine. And wish I didn't so it would reinforce that I can't do that stuff

I'm glad you posted this. My first cheat was a bite of cookie- more mindless eating than intentional if that makes sense. But since then I've had a small bite of bacon and started mushy foods a few days early.

Yesterday was my husband's birthday and I had a tiny piece of his cake. It made me feel dreadful for a couple of hours. I am almost 3 weeks out from surgery, I chewed it very well and ate it slowly but I won't be doing that again! It was chocolate cake with chocolate icing and about a 2x2" piece. Lesson learned!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
