Liquids!

There are always lessones learned. Really it is not good to do anything against doctors orders. You are not healed enough yet for a lot of things. Many people can not eat breat but some can. You might want to try it again when you are healed. When you get to solids you will try lots of different foods.

Good luck on your journey!

The problem isn't what you ate, the problem is you ate it only 4 days after surgery.

Your doctor has you on a post op diet for a reason. Your stomach has been sutured and manipulated considerably and now it's very swollen and wounded. It needs time to heal, and if you don't give it time to heal and don't follow your doctor's post op diet, you are risking some very serious complications.

Stick to your post op diet, no exceptions.

You are swollen in there hon and that is why the doctor says liquids. The pain of being stuck can be horrible, but we can prevent that by following the doctors orders.

You will be out of this time and back on normal foods before you know so try and hang in there and stick to your guidelines.

I had trouble getting Water down then (still do, especially in the morning (8 days post op)). bread? ??

Holy cow, brave soul you are for even trying that. I could barely drink that soon after surgery. I haven't had bread in any form in 1 year 11 months and don't miss it (surprisingly). I found it easier to go cold turkey on something I didn't need.

agree with missy all the way here.

goes to show NOT divert off your dr's instructions so soon after surgery

I attribute success or failure with one's weight loss journey to two major contributing factors: compliance with following your surgeon's instructions to the greatest extent possible every day, and maintaining your motivation for success and wanting to embrace a healthier way of life (aka changing your relationship with food and understanding that you are empowered to make the choices which will bring success or failure with weight loss).

That said, please follow your surgeon's instructions. All of them were designed to promote your healing and well being. If you are already going against sound medical advice, it does not bode well for long term well being.

I guess this is a life lesson learned...glad your experience was not worse...
