I cheated... 13 day post op

I had one bite of popcorn chicken..... I chewed it for 20 secs and then swallowed.. I regret it now. I don't want my stomach to stretch out.

I do not think one piece of popcorn will stretch out your stomach, so I wouldn't worry about that! Move forward from this, though!! Keep in mind your goals, and remember that the guidelines your NUT gave you are there for a reason! Your new tummy isn't ready for popcorn chicken yet! One day, but not yet. Chin up, hit the reset button tomorrow. All will be okay!!

Thank you so much! You made me feel a little less guilty! I have to be strong and not give in to temptation!

Whoops, I meant to say popcorn chicken.. I did read your post! And of course, you're human, it's natural! Like I said, tomorrow's a new day, start fresh!

You didn't "cheat", you made a choice. Your choice was pretty dangerous, too. You won't stretch your stomach, but you could rupture it, create a leak, or cause an infection if you continue to make bad choices like the one you described.

No judgement, it's your body. I just hope you fully understand the trauma your body just went through before you continue to make potentially dangerous decisions. Fried, breaded chicken? Is that where you really want to go less than two weeks out from surgery?

In a way it's good you feel so guilty or bad, that way you aren't feeling satisfied and will be less likely to do it again. But don't beat yourself up too much

Think of it as a lesson, not as a cheat. And be kind to yourself, let yourself off the hook and go over your lists of why you are doing this.

For me it's so I can ride roller coasters with my nieces & nephews, so I can fly without fear of not fitting my seat, so I can walk up to a mirror with pride, etc.

Remember this is a journey about loving and caring for yourself. Try to focus on all the pleasures in life you are getting closer to enjoying. Hang in there!! You can do this!!!
