I cheated a little...feel so bad.



Recommended Posts

So I was banded on the 20th and am on full liquids, which for my doctor is Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes, not even Jello or Soup. Well I was sooooo hungry I had some soup. I know I shouldn't have, but it is a liquid and the same consistency as my shakes. I just feel so guilty now...

I was also banded on the 20th and the thought of food makes me sick to my stomach. Isnt the Soup you had the same as broth? I was told I could have broth...is every doctors instructions that different? You can tell i am very new to this...

Yes every doctors instructions are different, and no, I wouldn't consider Tomato Soup broth.< /p>

My doctor only had me do clear liquids for one day, and then I could have full liquids after that. I'm on mushies now. I would say that Tomato Soup is probably not going to hurt you; so don't feel bad. Feeling bad is the worst thing you can do; just try to get back on the horse and follow doctor's orders after that. You're a strong person for having clear liquids for that long! WOW! I would have died I think.

As for what is broth and what is not; no, Tomato Soup isn't broth. Vegetable, chicken, beef broth, or mushroom broth, those are broths; they're were it's just the Water and the flavoring basically.

Don't feel bad! I was banded on the 20th also and have been on clear liquids since June 6th. I am trying to stop myself from licking everything in sight! It's good that you feel hungry! I was scared I would never feel hungry again... although that might have been a blessing. :lol:

Everyone heals differently. Every doctor has different rules and really the rules for most doctors are just guidelines. If I were you, I would call your doctor and tell him how you are feeling. I went to my doctor a week after surgery and he told me I could eat anything I could tolerate...and that was not what the "rules" said.

Don't beat yourself up...we all are going to cheat, but we all are going to get right back on track!

I think you should feel good in the fact that you cheated with something like "soup".....just think, before you were banded and was on a diet, you'd cheat with something like Mcdonalds or a pizza, etc. Now you feel guilty for Soup. I think you're on the right track!

Don't worry...you are fine! If cheating is "soup" then you have a great mindset!

If you feel like you're cheating with just Tomato Soup - you shouldn't because as the others have said what a great choice for cheating! Take it easy on yourself as this is a huge learning process and you will have many hurdles to pass in the future.

Take care!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
