I'm 7 days post op and was starving so I ate a pork chop. I'm in so much pain now. Can someone please tell me how bad this could be if I cheat again.

You can make a chicken or fish soup but blend it. You can eat Anything that can fit through a straw.

@@shani1970 - I did the same thing but mine was the toppings off of a piece of pizza. It was awful! I thought I was going to die. If you look back about 5 weeks ago I posted about it! I got a lot of support from the family on here, don't beat yourself up, push forward, and remember that pain when you think of making that mistake again!

You got this!

My liquids plan included canned, protein-based soups (chicken noodle or beef vegetable) blended to a smooth consistency and mashed potatoes or refried beans blended with milk or broth. The rule for me was if you put a straw in it and it stands up, it's too thick. There should be some options on your plan that will give you some satisfaction from that hungry feeling. And as someone else mentioned, it could be acid mimicking hunger. Above all, take care of yourself!

That helps a lot. I have been beating myself up but I won't forget that pain.

I'm not allowed even pudding until day 11 - if you're hungry, watch the surgery on YouTube. Works for me! I'm in a very depressed time (6 days out, uncomfortable, hungry). I totally understand you.

Good luck ❤

You can go online to amazon on but bariatric products. I have prime so I picked items in prime and got in 2 days. O ordered proti cream of chicken Soup, proti pudding mix and bark hot chocolate. I just had the soup, made it according to the directions and it was fine. Good decisions will keep you healing

Literally my doc told me a story of a lady that ate a pork chop 1 week post op and it almost KILLED HER! not killed her pain wise. It literally almost killed her. It scares me enough to follow my plan! Glad everything worked out for you. Not following their recommendations could be catastrophic

Six weeks post sleeve I chewed a very small soft piece of crockpot chicken breast. It stuck in my chest. I ran through my house unable to tell my husband to call rescue because I could not breathe. You can bet that never happened AGAIN! I took every precaution and had been approved for that chicken in my food plan. I stuck to soups, broths, shakes, cottage cheese, etc, until my NUT at three months declared I should eat salads. The fear was REAL.

That's scary!!

I wonder what happens to people who eat pizza or a burger the day after. Their stomach is gone - so how do they get back straight? I know it's horribly dangerous. Wonder what their final outcomes are.

My surgeon has had 1 failure, they drove to the McD around the corner and ate a big mac. I can't imagine, I hurt so badly then. At a week out, that greasy "meat" still sounds nauseating, but I understand how people need food. I have wanted a cheese stick, but am too scared!

I did good to swallow water! Let alone real food! I could not imagine the people that Sabotage themselves like that so early, will have a very successful outcome

@shani1970- Really? Just for the sake of edifying others who might be thinking about this procedure...how much pre-op work did you do? I'm not judging, I'm just wondering, did you:

Look at YouTube videos of success and failures?

Did you look at this site?

Do you have a counselor and work through your food issues?

Did you feel forced into having this surgery, or was it your choice?

I was so committed that I was dead on perfect from two week pre-op for three months following but mainly because I had seen and learned enough going in that anything less would be a waste and potentially dangerous. But I'm not typical, so what have you learned? Esp. about your expectations going in...

My surgeon told me a story how she had a patient stop and eat chicken nuggets on her way home ONE DAY after surgery. She said it messed this lady up so bad it was 3 months before she could attempt solid foods again.
