Cheating

[chsmith23 12]

Hey guys! I just wanted to know how many of you guys "cheated" after your sleeve and what it was.

I eat as I'm supposed to and work out 6 days a week I allow myself one day to eat small portions of things like chicken wings or fries in very small amounts. This is just a way that I know I'm keeping myself on track and don't feel deprived. This is a decision for the rest of our lives and this way of eating works for me. I also notice that by switching my diet up once a week it helps me to loose weight when I'm stuck. Hope this helps

I think "cheat" is a faulty word. I may be an outlier here but to the extent that a food is trackable, it is just a food with nutritional values (or the lack thereof.)

I didn't "cheat" on my pre- or post-op requirements, including the 5 days of liquid before and the 8 weeks of varying progression to solids after.

Now I eat a large variety of foods, focusing on the basic rules. If I eat something less nutritiously sound then I just put it down in my log and move on.
