I had a Big Mac four days out.....

WHAT?? Don't judge!

You're my hero! I am 8 days out and cheated with scrambled eggs but wish I had had the nerve to go for the Big Mac.

Big Mac? The nurses at the hospital when I was sleeved told me that a patient woke up demanding a Big Mac.

I advanced to puréed food a few days early and same for soft food. So far I've only eaten what I'm supposed to but I'm practically on solids. I keep ordering grilled shrimp and every place over cooks the crap out of it, making it tough and chewy. I'm on a business trip so I have no control over the cooking. Chew, chew, chew.

I am on week three and have been super compliant with no cheating. I am not judging anyone, but I did not go through this derail myself in any way. When I want something sweet, I have a gelatein or sugar free pudding. Maybe, I may take a few bites of something sinful a few months down the road when I have lost 75 or 80 pounds. I want to be on my way to a good form by my 25th anniversary in June.

How much could you have eaten with your new stomach 4 days post op? It had to be a chore.

Girl you know that was me! I tried to sneak it into the operating room but they found it! Just wanted back what was mine :P

Disclaimer;

this was said for joking purposes only

Of course I didn't eat a Big Mac or even a bite of a Big Mac!! That can give you LEAKS!

And it wasn't on my three week full liquid diet...

I am 4 months out and down nearly 70 pounds. I personally think my little indulgences have been worth it, and I don't regret even one of them.

In theory there shouldn't be any "cheat" foods. With a sleeve you are only restricting the amount of what you eat' date=' not what you eat. If you are having problems digesting a certain food, after a bit of time, you should be able to eat them. I would never deny myself something that I really wanted, that's the easiest way to fail. Denying yourself then giving in, leads to guilt, guilt leads to more eating, more eating leads to weight gain. Eating healthy 99% with an occasional treat, is just fine and is a sensible approach. Your sleeve will let you know when you've gone overboard.[/quote']

And weight gain leads to the dark side, it does. Ha ha...I couldn't let that go John!

eh i'm still supposed to be on full liquids for 2 more weeks' date=' been on liquids for a total of 6 so far.... I'm currently eating blended potato Soup that has not been strained...so that's 2 strikes. should have just been the cream of the potato and not the potato and I didn't strain it. It's not all that lumpy and i chew the crap out of the lumps BECAUSE I CAN...i've missed chewing, give me a break.

oh and no no's....yeah I had a hershey's chocolate bar on 2 separate occasions...Yes the whole bar and while it took me a little to eat it, I suffered no real difficulties...I'm not even sure I'm remorseful. This diet has been hell, I see a bunch of people crab about the week long preop, I'd just like to say to them, "that's just the warm up!" but then I think or right, it's really just my dr that has us do 8 solid weeks of liquid diet post op. I have a bone to pick w/ my nut who had the balls to say to me that she gets no complaints on the liquid diet stage about the 8 weeks they keep us on it...[/quote']

What! 8 weeks! Wtf! That's crazy! I'm 3 weeks out and I'm on the mushy stage..

      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.
