Cheated 5 days after my sleeve

If you HAVE to have something, chew and spit it out. Just for the taste.

No - do not do this! This is a form of an eating disorder. You also can get calories and sugars from doing this - and you start the digestive process and can cause problems with increased stomach acid. You just had major surgery- you need to deal with your head hunger and cravings another way!

This isn't Weight Watchers. It's major surgery. The post op diet isn't a suggestion. It's mandatory for your health and well being. Do you know what a leak is?

I really wish some of these surgeons would read these forums. The would think twice about who they would operate on.

I didn't have the sleeve I had the bypass so leaks really Dont happen with bypass

Do you really think that you can't have a leak with RNY? I would do some research to see the many complications of RNY including leaks.

Agreed! Watch the surgery on youtube if you believe you can just skip out on things - struggling with Protein, fluids, etc won't kill you but a leak could. Take a nice look at the staple line. I'm terrified of nuts forever.

It's amazing the surgeons don't all scare us a bit so we don't eat the wrong stuff post-op! My surgeon has us on purees soon after surgery and I had to ask him about the safety of this, based on all I've read and heard. His patients haven't had any issues, but I think we should all listen to our own doctor's orders after surgery. I'd rather be safe then sorry. I think @@jenniferbook902 is fully aware or her mistake and I'm so glad she had no issues arise from it. I'm still pre-op, but I feel like I'm pretty well prepared (although many people post-op say they weren't nearly as prepared as they thought they were, even after significant preparation and research).

Thank you..I been doing good besides a bite of mash potatoes it's not easy I dont get my Proteins im at all

Sent from my SM-G930P using the BariatricPal App

Definitely work on the Proteins. This is VERY IMPORTANT. You need to keep your muscles well fed and prevent loss of lean muscle mass, and I believe that adequate Protein helps with hair loss. Other people on here can probably support this. As I understand, Protein and HYDRATION are the 2 most important things. If you're really struggling, call your doctor. Good luck! We're here if you need us!
