WHY??????????

Why, do you get WLS, any type, and then not listen to your doctor or dietitian? Why?

 

When I was given the pre-op diet, I followed it to the 't' because I was afraid.

 

When it came to the post-op diet, I followed it to the 't', also.

 

When I get a fill, I am on 3 days of liquids, 3 days of mushy and then back to my regular foods. I listen to the doctor and his staff. They have been dealing with WLS for many many years.

 

So WHY, get the surgery and just follow your own rules??????

 

Think before putting the chip, the french fry, McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts in your hand, let alone your mouth. If you have to have one of these, at least wait until your surgery has healed and you can eat regular foods.

 

People who have had the band for a while, I have had mine for almost 14 months, maybe some of us know what we are talking about. I listen to the masters, they have been here longer than me. I try to help and if I don't have an answer, I will say it.

 

So when you are getting wheeled into the operating room, just remember WHY, you are there. To get healthy and live longer.

 

Have a great night.

ps

Saturday night I have a wedding and yes I will eat but not over eat and I do not drink when I eat and never alcohol.

I get that for sure. I'm always scared to not follow the doctor's advice too! I'm really happy that God gave me that trait though, because it's the best thing when it comes to these tough moments like the Pre-Op diet! It's all good though, because I know it's important, and I'm scared to mess it up! xP

I do think that, whenever I reach that point of no drinking while eating, I'm going to have a bit of trouble. I have a hard time not washing down the food I eat. :( But I think I can get use to it. :)

I eat out a lot and never order a drink. My hardest was Chinese tea when in a Chinese restaurant. You will learn.

eye candy......what a great post

i sure hope everyone reads it........and maybe

just maybe the people that truly need to read it ....will

thank you for that. I do get tired of hearing/reading about all the people that can't stick to a food plan for 2 weeks, a month or whatever the doctor tells them they need to do and then they wonder why they failed.
