And I got married yesterday and everyone wanted to go to the diner, and I broke down and had a grilled chicken salad...will it hurt me?

What you should do is ask your surgeon if it will hurt you. sometimes it does not make a difference. Other surgeons postpone surgery because of it....

You need to ask so you can be less concerned about it

I'm just curious how you were able to un-pureed chicken without any pain or discomfort only 5 days out? Did you eat the greens as well? I'm 3 weeks out and if I don't puree enough and get too big a chunk it can be painful or very uncomfortable.

Ah, my mistake. I thought you were 5 days Post OP. My guess is you're fine, but do try to stick with your Dr.'s diet plan. I guess I was lucky as my Doc only required one day of liquids pre-op.

There seems to be a lot of different pre-op diet plans by different doctors. It is best to check with yours and not to assume that it was alright to cheat.....

Mine was 2 weeks of liquid Protein drinks and if I had cheated..He would have cancelled right away...

Other surgeons are not so strict...It is best to check..k

Confession: When I was on a my 14 day pre-op liquid diet, I did have actual food. If I was so very hungry I would eat one of those tuna packs or at night I have had a grilled chicken breast about 3 times in the 2 week period. I only lost a few pounds before my surgery which was 3 days ago. My "cheating" didn't seem to affect my surgery outcome. But, you really should do as I say and not as I do...follow your doctor. You don't want him cutting into your stomach and finding chicken in there. That may postpone things.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
