Any Experiences with Not Obeying Doctors Orders?

I probably dont eat as well as i should at 4 weeks post op...... and i drink from a straw and i gulp instead of sip. No problems so far....

I'm only 6 days out and I gulp too! It doesn't hurt me. Did he not make my stomach small enough?!?

Just wait! Many of us thought that. Wait until you take your first bite of real food. Then you'll start saying, "will I ever be able to eat again?"

I've stuck to the plan thus far and see no reason not to.

When I am really thirsty, sometimes I forget that I cannot gulp Water and I take about 2 gulps before I realize what I have just done. Of course my stomach also reminds me in the form of pain...

I don't consume enough Soup, juice, Water etc. as they have recommended on the program. I am trying to get better at that by leaving the glass of water or tea beside me and drinking it over an hour if necessary.

Other than that I have not tried to consume anything out of my program. I am too scared lol.

I do my best. But there are things I don't do, such as abstaining from Water 30 minutes before and after eating. I can't do that. I can't wait that long. I'll wait 10 minutes. And it's not like I'm guzzling down the fluids to flush out my pouch. But if I'm going to get my 64oz in, I need every minute. Not drinking 3 hours every day adversely impacts this.

And I "cheat" on occasion. But I'm surprised that my cheating isn't all that satisfying. For example, I had a doughnut the other day. Yes, so totally not recommended. But I ate it. And I enjoyed it. But one was enough. And I'm not sure that I would choose to have a doughnut again. I'd rather lose weight.

I was self pay. My surgery cost me 12k out of pocket completely. I said in the beginning, I will not cheat once. That was a lie because I have. Not big cheats. But cheats nonetheless. My sleeve allows me only a small slip up. I have allowed myself a small piece of pizza a few times. I have eaten potato chips on many occasions throughout. I don't always get all of my fluids in. My problem with that is if I drink to fast I get really nauseous for a few minutes. I have stuck to my plan probably 95%. But I have allowed myself to indulge on a very small scale.
