Go throw them in the trash and pour liquid dish soap on them. I'm not joking. You're 6 days post op...

At a week out, we were allowed to eat cream of wheat, oatmeal, yogurt and strained cream Soup.

I have a feeling when you get to the next stage, you'll feel better.

Hang in there!

PS...if you cheat again...and you shouldn't! But if you do? Don't eat something bizarre like cheetos....eat something you're allowed to eat on the next phase of your diet.

You've got this! Don't let one slip up ruin everything. Put it behind you and move forward. Maybe try more Protein Shakes? I think the Protein will help you feel fuller.

Sip on a Protein Shake & finish at least one each day. Eat when you wake up then every 3 hours until 2 hours before bed. Yougurt & Soups are filling. My surgery was last Thursday & it works for me. Your meals should be 2 to 4 ounces.

Cream Soups are filling, oatmeal is filling, yogurt is filling...Cheetos are not.

Hopefully you chewed it really well. You’ll probably be fine, but be careful and if its too tempted as mentioned toss it. I’ve tossed a few things out because its just too hard (hummus and nuts went in the trash at my house yesterday actually). I ate a couple cheese it crackers too early and also removed them. The purée and liquid stages are harder than soft foods IMHO.

I'm not going to kid around: the first month sucked pretty much the whole time. Even when I could barely get anything down, I hated being on liquids all the time and I especially hated how sweet so much stuff was (the shakes). But . . . two things: that month passes. And I lost a lot of weight during it. Weight loss has slowed and I can eat much better food now. I feel full pretty quickly but a few hours later . . . ready for more.

You can do this. Drink the shakes, vary that with broth or sugar-free popsicles or fudgesicles, and move to cottage cheese and yogurt and Soups when you can. Don't rush it: your stomach needs to heal.

It will all seem worth it eventually!

Please don’t beat yourself up. It’s hard and I think it’s all mental more than anything. I’m 10 days post-op and in full liquids and at first found that I was wanting to eat certain foods but not because I was hungry but because I was used to it. I’m still trying to figure out what Hunger feels like :)
Today I was making dinner for my family and making meatballs and they smelled delicious! I ended up taking a bite, chewed it really well, but right before swallowing, I thought about it and decided to spit it out. No one saw me but felt a little embarrassed bc I felt like those people that don’t eat and instead buy and eat all this food but don’t swallow and spit it out. It’s actually an eating disorder so I felt some kind of way about it. Wasn’t sure what bothered me most, that I was “cheating” on this full liquid phase before the dr clears me for puréed foods or that I enjoyed it so much and wanted more. Just gotta take it day by day!

I truly appreciate the support. It is very challenging because I'm used to eating poorly and it seems I'm always feeling hungry ...the Protein Shakes arent doing the complete trick...but I'm praying my way through. I will be all the more happier going to pureed or soft foods...it's more options. But again thank you

Cheetos and cheese balls/cheezeits and gold fish are my nemesis. I would eat them preferentially over anything in my house and in fact, they do comprise a 5th food group.

I'd have to dump em and pee on em to keep me out of them. I'm sure the dish soap wouldn't be a strong enough deterrent! LOL!

You can DO this! Concentrate on getting that Water in and your Protein in!! ((hugs))

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
