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))

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
