I cheated tonight on my liquid diet

[goosemommy 3]

I had a slice of boars head liverwurst.it was so so good.5 days post op.Would it hurt me to have a scrambled egg in the am?

Hmph, I would say hold off on the eggs until at least a full week post op.

We all make "oopsies." I oopsed today when I took a small bite of chicken nugget from my husband's lunch. Yeah....I was definitely reminded of my oopsie when my stomach started hurting.

Will it hurt you? Eh, probably not. Could it slow down your healing process? Surely could. Does it show that you're already unable to be compliant? Yes.

It's one thing to mess up; it's a whole other thing to plan to "cheat" again. Choice is yours, though I'd say no. Stick to your diet; you were given it for a reason.

Please follow your doctors orders. I was on Clear Liquids for 7 days, full liquids for another 7 and was not allowed eggs until week 4 so day 22.

Reverie, I agree that it's not good to pre-plan your next cheat. That will lead to failure for sure...and the band would be useless because old habits will come back and haunt ya...

its hard, but try and stick to the rules as best as you can. I got desparate also and sucked on jelly Beans (banded at easter time). But only a couple until I got ahold of myself and told myself to stop.

Good luck

I think what the doctors would be worried about would be it getting processed through your stomach because it is healing. I think that because the surgery causes trauma that it needs time to not process solid things so that it can heal faster so that you wont have problems with solids in the future. That was my understanding anyway

[goosemommy 3]

I totally understand,i never even thought about that.Thanks

Thats ok! I didnt want you to feel like you were getting slammed for one slip up. I remember that 1st week or 2 just walking around the kitchen looking for something to eat that I could eat. Picking up something and putting it down cause I shouldnt eat it. Ugg that was so frustrating. Its not like when you are on a diet and you can slip up a little and then eat right the next time. You have to work around all these other components for awhile.

But it does get easier. I'm almost a pro at my measly little 7 weeks post op. lol

I don't think the OP was being slammed for one slip up but people were concerned that she was already planning to cheat again. We all have slip ups from time to time but deliberate cheating this early is another thing and is cause for concern.
