So for all the people who have had surgery... I was wondering how honest people were. Have any of you cheated and tried something you shouldn't have when you were almost 2 weeks out? I know people are starving for food if you are on a liquid/pureed diet. It's normal to want a consistency to food because your body is used to that. So has anyone cheated and chopped up something and tried to eat it?

When you wake up feeling cruddy or you pass by something you really want to eat. Just remember.. somedays you have to take a minute at a time and sometimes you can do an hour at a time and think to yourself... this too shall pass. That pizza I really want is not worth me eating and being fat again. That sandwich or steak looks so good ...but I don't want to bust open my sleeve. Always think.... I chose this surgery because I wanted a healthier better me. I gave up those things to find the me that I have always wanted to be. Spread the Fabulosity and Love! We all can do it! There is no reason to turn back. We have made the decision to be skinnier, healthier, sexier.....because WE DESERVE IT! No kind of Food will make me ever GO BACK to being FAT. I want to be FABULOUS!!!

Ya I made a scrambled egg probably about 5 or 6 days after too! It was good. I actually haven't had once since though. Everyday I look at what my body tells me I want and I just remember I do not want to be fat again. So the urge passes by. I have been reading so much about people cheating and I can't figure out why they would do it. I can understand the protein cheating because that is a big WANT for all of us unless you are a vegiterian. The hard part I think now for me is I cook for the rest of the family and I have soup. But the moment passes and I am fine. Since my surgery I only cook healthy for everyone so then it is easier for a change when I can eat. So glad my family is supportive and my kids understand the why we only eat healthy food now. There is no more snacks that are not healthy or beneficial for them and that has made me very happy!

I am a week and 3 days.

I am a Band to Sleever as well. I am 1 week 2 day post op. I am feeling great! Being on a liquid diet will for sure kick off your weight loss Journey! There is hope after the sleeve. Don't get down! Just stay positive everyday! Remind yourself to be FABULOUS not FAT!

Congrats on your start in the step to begin your new journey on life! I am a week and 2 days post op. I feel teriffic! This website has helped me so much in the last few days. It has so much information and so many people willing to help! I am starting a youtube blog today. I have recorded videos and I will be posting them about my journey. Good luck to you and I wish you the best!

Has anyone tried Peanut butter in shakes when you can have protein? I tried it today! OMG Good! And you get protein from it! It became liquid form. I added Skim milk, Ice, and Protein Vanilla Shake! Instantly GREAT!

I figured I would share! Couldn't help but to make someone else's post op experience a little better!

I am 1 week out. I started at 196. I am waiting to weight myself until my doctor's appointment at my 2 week check up. I am craving food. Ugh! I remind myself I am on the path to the new me and a healthier life. Even though the lapband failed and complications from that I am looking that this surgery wll be the tool that I need!

I am 30 years old. I have twin daughters whom are 8 and a son who is 7. I started this journey last week at 16/18. I am so excited for you! Congrats!

Thanks Annie! I know there is hope! I am a very positive thinker so that has helped a lot! I have to remind myself to eat now... I am just not hungry hardly at all. So I understand that! Congrats on your weightloss!
