I figured it would be nice to have a section where we could just confess to some of the potentially dumb things we've done, pre or post op. Just so others can see we are all human. I want this to be kept as civil as possible, where people can own up to things without anyone else chiming in with anything negative, we all know what we did wasn't "right" but I'm sure we ALL have done something we shouldn't have.

I'll start.

I cheated on my pre-op diet a few times. I also like to find loop holes and exploit the crap out of them. I drank beer for a week+ on my pre-op, because it didn't say I couldn't. I only stopped after I was forced to, because my wife asked my surgeon and of course they said "no"... boo. I also ate a whole slice of French Meat Pie at my Dad's 60th birthday luncheon.

I cheated on my post-op diet/puree stage a bit too. I ate rice cakes and protein chips or other veggie chips. Not a lot, but it happened. I "pureed" a steak and cheese sandwich once. I ate a few fried ravioli on my puree stage as well.

This past weekend, I had a beer. My wife and I took my parents out to dinner at a local casino, it's Restaurant week, so we found a good looking location and went out to eat, part of the deal was that you got a draft beer with your meal. So, I had a shipyard summer ale with my grilled chicken parm sandwich (only ended up eating 3 bites of the chicken and none of the bread).

I did all that thus far and nothing bad happened.

I understand the changes are to ensure we stick to our diets, but understanding that we are all human and WILL either slip up or just stray from our diets on purpose like I did. It's good to see that, it's possible to still live and be able to enjoy a few things we "shouldn't" without any negatives happening.

So, what's your WLS confession?

I ate a piece of bacon during my pre-op diet and it. was. Magnificent. Then I felt super guilty. ??

I wasn't directing that *AT* you... that was more my impression on them... I can feel mine like crazy now... and it's really weird. Being overweight for MOST of my life has really made this weight loss like a sort of lost and found adventure LOL

No offense taken ?

I can’t handle super sweet things like that! Someone brought cider donuts to work for someone’s birthday and I broke off a tiny piece (like 1/6 of a donut) to try... it didn’t taste as good as I’d imagined and I felt a little sick after. Glad I only tried a little!

aww i'm sorry you got sick, i hope you feel better. In my case, it's different. I'm a vet and i was sleeved not bypassed so i don't dump. I also choose to only do stuff like that rarely even though i have no reactions to food.

I ate a piece of regular chocolate that was offered to me.

Also I'm all about inner beauty and development of character/personality. So as soon as someone likes my appearance I use the sorting hat and they are (mentally) sent to Slytherin...But I adorn myself to be appreciated...

Sigh ...

If you can't be a griffendor, at least be a Hufflepuff, those Sly lerin are scaley, nasty folk. Remember that is where the Malfoy are at!?

Sorry, it wouldn't let me just click the quote button..

So let me get this straight for future reference, cuz I do like to give people reactions that help them blossom and succeed in life. When I see you post new photos or avis, I'm NOT supposed to comment on how hot you look or how beautiful you are, or that I see such XYZ blah blah blah and then congratulate you? Instead I should make a comment something along the lines of:

"That is a very insightful and astute angle you exposed in that photo--very thought provoking. It really emphasizes the beauty of your soul and reveals the true gentle nature of your spirit..."

Cuz lort I do not want to be in Slitherin'. Unless I could be Moaning Myrtle. I'd like to be Moaning Myrtle and annoy people periodically cuz that's just the way I roll. hehe

Yeah that would be FUN!

Guess what I am hungry for? Teriyaki fried Tofu, if only Precious Pouch would hold it in instead of spewing! Well let's get my stoma strictute dialated out, and I bet I'll have some!

hmm can't quote either @FluffyChix

No I meant mostly potential suitors and people outside of the WL/WLS community. I feel the sincerity here and on MFP, etc. But elsewhere I always wonder: How shallow are you? ...

My book would be Harry Potter and the Siren of Social Entrapment
