First cheat since pre-op



Recommended Posts

Ugh I teach 8th grade and had a very long day today and an open house tonight. Was just temped and gave in and ate 15 goldfish crackers. Chewed until they were nothing but the salt and the crunch will get me through the night!

sleeved 8/15, down 42 lbs since started preop diet on 7/29

good luck everyone!

Forgive yourself and move on, try to avoid it in the future. It's not the WORST thing you could've eaten, right? You'll do better from now on :) Always, always carry your healthy snacks! it's the thing that keeps me on track 7 months later!

Wow, I thought for sure you were gonna say that you had a candy bar or something!! I guess crackers are a "cheat" food so close to your surgery date. Sometimes, it's better to have a little something than to make yourself suffer. I think I ate like 5 Cool Ranch Doritos about a month out, and told my oldest son not to tell daddy. I let him have 2 bags of chips or something as a bribe. As soon as hubby got home, my son says, "Hi dad! Mommy ate chips today!" Guess you can't trust a 9-year-old!! He's really good about keeping junk from me when I tell him "DON'T LET ME HAVE ANY!" He slaps my hand away! Haha

If it makes you feel any better crackers were allowed as part of my plan on my soft solids portion of the diet. And at 9 months out I still eat crackers from time to time.

Thanks... I won't beat myself up. The drastic changes I've made since my ore op diet started on 7/29 shock me. I've never worked so hard st something before LOL

Need to keep trying to get the Water in. I definitely miss my carbs and some of my old favorites but I'm feeling better, so that wins!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
