@@athomas125 that's awesome!

Ok I'm going to be honest and am totally expecting the shame spiral in a minute, but I'm having a grilled cheese for lunch. I'm 10 days post op, not even supposed to be on solids yet, although I've been handling yogurt, hummus and ricotta just fine, and I had a falafel ball last night which I handled really well. So.... totally breaking the rules.

Rmspencer, Eat it if you must must maybe just 3 bites and chew chew chew. Maybe just eating the cheese will satisfy your urge.

Yup, I agree with Peek. We will all have those moments. Just be careful. and chew chew chew. I've seen posts in the complications section where they are 5 to 8 weeks out and get a leak. Just chew and be safe !!!

rmspencer, are you confessing because you want us to talk you out of it, or? I was concerned for you when I read this. I think it is normal for us to want to test the boundaries, but there is always a price to pay. You've told us the truth about you grilled cheese sandwich, perhaps you can follow-up with how it went for you?

grilled cheese was my favorite food in the world. 5 guys, bars, home, work, it's all i ate sometimes. i'm avoiding it like the plague now. one thing you might want to try for your cheese fix is some nice cheese at the supermarket and some whtle weat crackers. slice a few pieces and then wait. your new small stomach should be full without the dangers of a grilled cheese. good luck :)

Thanks guys! I ate half/am eating half and without the crust and chewing/eating very slowly and it's going fine. I've really missed chewing.

RM, my physician said incisional pain is normal for about a month. I hope your grilled cheese went down ok!

Update on the grilled cheese: I only had 5 small bites (this is probably a quarter of a sandwich). I ate it very slowly, chewed at least 20 times before it mushed and basically just went down. I feel guilty about it now and know it was a bad decision. I'm having a little discomfort, but no more than at the beginning when I drank too fast and to gauge how much liquid my new stomach could take.

I'm disappointed in myself for giving into the craving, but at the same time glad because while the first bite was amazing, by the end I wasn't even enjoying it at all.

      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.
