Cheated 5 days after my sleeve

If you HAVE to have something, chew and spit it out. Just for the taste.

No - do not do this! This is a form of an eating disorder. You also can get calories and sugars from doing this - and you start the digestive process and can cause problems with increased stomach acid. You just had major surgery- you need to deal with your head hunger and cravings another way!

This isn't Weight Watchers. It's major surgery. The post op diet isn't a suggestion. It's mandatory for your health and well being. Do you know what a leak is?
I really wish some of these surgeons would read these forums. The would think twice about who they would operate on.

I didn't have the sleeve I had the bypass so leaks really Dont happen with bypass

Do you really think that you can't have a leak with RNY? I would do some research to see the many complications of RNY including leaks.

Agreed! Watch the surgery on youtube if you believe you can just skip out on things - struggling with Protein, fluids, etc won't kill you but a leak could. Take a nice look at the staple line. I'm terrified of nuts forever.

It's amazing the surgeons don't all scare us a bit so we don't eat the wrong stuff post-op! My surgeon has us on purees soon after surgery and I had to ask him about the safety of this, based on all I've read and heard. His patients haven't had any issues, but I think we should all listen to our own doctor's orders after surgery. I'd rather be safe then sorry. I think @@jenniferbook902 is fully aware or her mistake and I'm so glad she had no issues arise from it. I'm still pre-op, but I feel like I'm pretty well prepared (although many people post-op say they weren't nearly as prepared as they thought they were, even after significant preparation and research).

Thank you..I been doing good besides a bite of mash potatoes it's not easy I dont get my Proteins im at all

Definitely work on the Proteins. This is VERY IMPORTANT. You need to keep your muscles well fed and prevent loss of lean muscle mass, and I believe that adequate Protein helps with hair loss. Other people on here can probably support this. As I understand, Protein and HYDRATION are the 2 most important things. If you're really struggling, call your doctor. Good luck! We're here if you need us!
