What's the first food you cheated with after Gastric Sleeve Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I don't really have cheat foods. I eat what I want but I'm conscious of the portion and calories. I limit myself.

I don't think it's a long term plan to make certain foods forbidden. It only makes it harder to resist.

Luckily I have lost my taste for sweets. :)

My biggest and first cheat was about 3 weeks out and I went to a mates birthday and had a piece of cake! I resisted all the other food but I saw the cake and couldn't help myself..

@@carolscience I have determined that whey Protein absolutely destroys my stomach. I use metagenics when I need to drink shakes, my stomach tolerates it a whole lot better. I think it's rice protein. Somehow though, I just don't tolerate Protein Shakes well no matter what kind. Maybe it's just that I hate drinking them :-p

On the topic of "cheating"- it is a choice, plain and simple. I think a lot of us struggle with feeling out of control and wanting to indulge addictive habits. I don't agree with calling it cheating - it isn't a game. If you struggle with disordered eating behavior, get help. I know because I do too! I don't like that I come here for support and people post really triggering and graphic stories about cheating.

On the other hand, I wish people would encourage others to get help rather than shaming them for slipping up. That's never been effective in helping anyone change their behavior!

It's been over 12 months since & im at goal actually trying to maintain or keep from losing anymore. I eat what I want in super moderation & my "cheat thing" is frozen coke. So yummy & zero carbonation only frozen coke satisfaction.

Oh, I'm SO gonna try this!! Carbonation is the only thing my sleeve can't do. Wonder how frozen beer tastes?!?

I wouldn't consider what I'm doing cheating. I'm at goal weight & have an issue maintaining weight. I eat all foods in moderation. & I do indulge in a frozen coke it doesn't hurt my stomach at all & it's very satisfying.

I'm not sure how frozen beer would taste lol

@@KristaSilliman I can totally relate to the frozen coke fix. That was my go to treat almost every night before I started my low carb diet to get ready for surgery. Coca Cola was one of my addictions but I gave them up to lose weight.

The problem is that most addicts replace one addiction with another. Now my new thing is Diet Cherry Limeade!

Right now I'm eating a small bag of Cheetos & drinking a Dr Pepper but it's little over a year & i eat anything in moderation & as fast as the Dr Pepper it just takes a while to drink & ive drank them several times its not expanding my sleeve like people say. Once you lose the weight eat in moderation & I still eat healthy but I also can't stuff myself. So it's hard to maintain my weight without looking too thin, never thought I'd say that. Lol but yes too thin isn't a good look for me. I wish everyone much success & don't look at it as cheating as long as it's moderation. Happy Eating ????

A small tea spoon taste of hummus 3 weeks post op (no bread or anything, just the hummus). Hummus was not allowed for 35 days because it is heavy on the stomach. I felt queezy for 30 minutes

I'm 8 months post and now 85 lbs down. You do what you gotta do because nothing can prepare you for the surgery. Good luck to you and have fun shedding the weight.

Potato chips. I was in my puree phase, and my boyfriend left his bag of chips in the kitchen. They were talking to me and I listened. I only had a small handful, and I let them get all mushy in my mouth, and they tasted sooooo good. However, Miss Tummy punished me for hours. I learned my lesson.

Lol, I had 1 cheese puff. I let it melt in my mouth 7 days out.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
