I'm upset with my self I'm 2.5 weeks post op and I poured my son a bowl of chips and popped one in my mouth! I guess out of habit as I didn't realize it until it was too late.- I'm still on liquids until next week, at which time I move to full liquids. Hopefully all is okay and I don't do damage!

3 1/2 weeks out and I did the same thing but I did it on purpose. A tiny bite of a corn chip with salsa. Not cheating to me. JUST DID IT.

So you had one chip.. You're okay... Life goes on.. Just follow your Doctors instructions.. You are going to cheat every now and then.. I really doubt there is anyone who doesn't cheat once in a while.. If you over eat or cheat at one meal, just make sure you don't do it the next meal.. Or the next day.. But try not to beat yourself up to bad.. We are only human!

I didn't die, my stomach is fine. I worry about leaks when the swelling goes, I worry that I did some damage. But I don't think I did. I start full liquids next week and can't bloody weight. this has been a long three weeks!! the next shall pass a little quicker as there is more variety in the diet then I'm on to 1 week of softs, and then regular food! Whew! THis has been a lot of work and a definite challenge.

      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.
