Because there are so many different pre and post op diets, it really isn't fair to judge anyone on here. But, I too, slipped up and ate a deviled egg 3 days after surgery because I was so hungry. Try to stay on track the best you can. We are all human. For anyone to say they have never ever cheated is silly . Keep up the good work. We're all winners here!

I agree!

My Dr. runs a Center of Excellence and 6 weeks post op of clears is not the plan that he follows and he is EXTREMELY conservative. In fact... I have never heard of any Dr. doing 6 weeks of clears post op. That is excessive IMO. My Surgeon puts us on 2 weeks of liquids pre-op then 2 weeks of clears post op. Followed by 2 weeks of puree'd foods (what I'm on) then 2 weeks of soft foods. I am finding all Drs are different... but 6 weeks of clears post op is setting up his patients to cheat if you ask me.

I cheated...yet I didnt. For some strange reason my husband bought my daughter MINI OREO cookies..ugh! Left on the counter..she asked for some milk and Cookies. I put a mini in my mouth, chewed it down to liquid and then spit it in the garbage then washed my mouth in the sink...OHHH WHYYYY!!!! LOL Im only 5 days post op and dont wanna mess anything up, I had a moment of weakness. I am now hating my Jello LMAO

Ditto this. I think it really is a very personal issue, how soon you can progress with your post-op diet. I was banded on 7/28, and I find my body does a VERY good job of letting me know what works, and what doesn't. I was on liquids for one week, moved to mushies the next week, and I've been eating solids this week, no problems. But I'm also being very careful, chewing thoroughly, using a baby spoon, and paying attention to when I feel full and stopping. So far, so good. Best wishes

No slip-ups. I didn't want all my hard work to be for naught!

[FLORIDAYS 3,040]

no slip ups for me either ...I started my liquid diet the day before thanksgiving ...I was determined ...or crazy lol

[sam3841 57]

I cheated day two. It was thanksgiving. Honestly I have never follow that liquid thing and I have never had an issue with it. But I am real young so that probably has something to do with it. I was up and moving 30 mins after I woke up from surgery.

My surgeon said there is no point in cheating, you don't want to shake the foundations now, because you won't see slips yet.....it may occur 6 months to a year down the road! Please go back to your prescribed diet, and finish it! I would not want you to have any complications!
