Honestly - nothing. I was too worried about a leak to cheat!

I didn't cheat either - it wasn't worth the risk of hurting myself, and with the nerves in your stomach not yet healed, your body can't give you good feedback if you're over-stressing your newly stitched-up stomach! It's only two weeks, and if you don't tolerate something well and heave it back up, think how hard that is on the surgical line. Please be careful folks! :(

Nothing week 2. Week 3 I had 2 bites of chicken. Regretted it because I shouldn't have but I didn't get sick at all.

No cheating for me, either. Didn't make sense to go through so much effort (major surgery) to risk the possible negatives associated with cheating.

I did not cheat. I was self pay and scared to death he would open me up and not complete the surg. Can't afford the risk.

I am very curious as to why people would risk their sleeve by cheating on the dietary plan given by their surgeon? I know that I was fearful of damaging my staple sline and I cheated with yogurt, but that was because of a discrepancy with Kaiser's dietary plan and the surgeon's dietary plan. I am really interested in hearing the rational that goes through our minds that contribute to us cheating. no judgements, just curious. Thanks everyone. :)

I also was too afraid to cheat. I was on straight liquids for 3 weeks post op - no yogurt, eggs, tuna, cottage cheese, NOTHING. I ate out with family several times during those 3 weeks and never once cheated. I was too afraid of damaging myself. Plus, I couldn't even meet my Water goal yet. I didn't want to force anything. It's not worth the risk IMO. You'll be able to eat soon. :-)

Im 15 days out and toying with puréed foods. First 13 days, just liquid!!

Now I feel well, no issues and puréed food keeps me satisfied longer than liquid.< /p>

There is no reason to 'cheat' call ur dr and see what you can do to help u tolerate the diet.

      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.
