Liquid phase did yu cheat



Recommended Posts

Ugh I did. I was at a big party and they had a nacho station!! I had about a cup of shredded lettuce' date=' salt, and pepper. Omg it tasted sooo good. Then I felt so guilty. My doctor said I did really good because my liver was great :). Still felt guilty[/quote']

Actually this happen in my pre-op. sorry misread the title! Post op cheat --- hell no!! I would never want to hurt my new stomach! :)

I've added new foods as I could tolerate them. Yogurt, Jello, etc in week one, week 2 mushy foods, and now in the 3rd week I am eating a few solid foods but nothing too extreme. I learned what I couldn't tolerate pretty fast because it would make me feel bad. There's a lot of variation between on Dr and another. I think the trick is to take it slowly and add things one at a time and remember that the eating habits you develop post op are the ones that will follow you from now on and will dictate your weight loss and success.

If you're talking about pre op I did cheat once, but it was only a handful of air popped popcorn... I was super strict the last few days to make sure my stomach was nice and empty! I was allowed raw veggies and a small low carb meal with my shakes until a few days before surgery

I did, but it was kind of an unusual situation. I was feeling really fatigued and weak and I talked to my surgeon and he said I had to get Protein in period. Up to that point I had been getting less than 10g Protein daily from shakes and I had been back to work since my 3rd post op day. So it was pretty urgent.

Out of complete exhaustion of other options (my body did not tolerate the chemicals in the Protein Shakes whatsoever) I attempted an egg, and it went down perfectly with no problems. So today I tried some cottage cheese, again super mashed, tiny bites, chewed thoroughly, and again no problems. So I think my sleeve just doesn't dig Protein Shakes and I needed protein. But I wouldn't recommend that routinely. Everybody's a little different.

I hate the shakes other than nectar fuzzy navel made with Water. I add BA crystals also and drink it in the morning as my oj! I made it a 12 oz so I get about 40 grams of protein. If you are a NE Okie, I'd be happy to share some of my fuzzy navel and let you see if it is something you can tolerate

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
