I also have a good friend who's a GI, and he's a lot easier to have real conversations with (vs. my surgeon), and he signed off on all of the above, as long as I promised to stop if I had any issues at all.
My surgeon told me that after I am done healing, nothing is off limits unless it causes me pain, I specifically asked about soda and he allows it. My Nutritionist hates it buuuuut I am for SURE going to have a coke zero in a few weeks haha.

This is not a post to undermine the seriousness of following the rules or promote lawlessness , just to show that *Sometimes* SOMETIMES *sometimes* we don't get everything right, but there are repercussions... Because I ate cake and pie and birthday meals... I gained instead of lost. This is my losing phase. Have a short window then its done. My window is closing.

While you may get away with it, as my doctor says, it is a slippery slope. It does not take much to revert back to the old ways, especially if you are like me and use food as a coping mechanism.

This is sorta what I wanted to avoid. We all know the *potential* repercussions, even though there are studies that show that having some level of "cheat" actually HELPS diets, The point really of this page was to show that, we are human and that we do slip up and there isn't anything wrong with that...
Reverting to old habits isn't cheating, that's giving up, and that's what a little cheat here and there can actually prevent. What I believe was meant when one poster said "no repercussions" was that... that 1 cheat, didn't have any repercussions.
I personally don't feel that eating cake, pie, "birthday meals" ETC is "cheating"... cheating, to me, is a very limited, rare occasion when otherwise you would break. Several instances in a row... isn't cheating, it's reverting.
Again... in my opinion.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!
Gosh girl, you look AMAZING! Omg, seriously... you should be so proud!
