6 days post op and I had to have peanut butter
You are correct I will be "allowed" to have peanut butter after week 4. I am not sure I am just feeling crappy so I am hoping this will pass.. I am going to start my day off with my 34 gram protein shake with milk as this is allowed. I am also allowed to have milk with sugar free nesquick so that is another thing I will be doing. I just wanna feel better. This is the way I have always been.. I want to be better and get better quicker than my body is allowing.. I was feeling so good the first few days and it seems to have gone down hill. I don't know I just want this do be done faster and moving onto the next stage. I can say I was mentally not ready for the liquid diet. I feel like I was really unprepared mentally for the "after" surgery effect. Its like when people tell you that it really hurts to have a baby but you don't really know what to expect until you really are going through it.

ok.. i didnt want to reply but I feel myself compelled to.
It is patients like you that make it bad for the rest of us. You are that "friend of a friend" or whatever that people come to us and say, "it didn't work for this person I know."
If you continue with this selfish behavior (and you just started) and feel that your behavior is justified, you have already failed!
There is a reason that there are food restrictions. With a healing stomach, peanut butter and thick and sticky foods like that can be harmful to your healing stomach.
How do you think you got to be in the situation of having to have surgery in the first place? Its obvious that you have little to no self control.
THIS IS NOT A MAGIC PILL!!
If you want to be successful, you have to make a commitment EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY to the food plan. It takes work and time and the work comes from you and no one else.
If you continue to be selfish and think you know better than the doctors, you will end up being the current size you are or larger (yes! it is possible), hurting yourself further and being one of those people that whine and cry and throw a pity party saying "I had the surgery and it didn't work for me."
Bottom line, if you dont work the program, IT WONT WORK FOR YOU!!!
This is not a joke. THIS IS YOUR LIFE!! Put on your big girl panties and woman up! take care of what you need to take care of and stop being selfish! Otherwise, you wasted your time, your surgeons time and everyone elses time involved. There are a lot of people that would have gladly taken your place and would actually follow the rules.
GROW UP!!!

My doctor told me that the more I "babied" my sleeve in the first 6-8 weeks, the better I'd heal and the more foods I could tolerate later. I was extremely careful the first 2 months and have literally been able to eat anything since 3 months out. You need to give your stomach time to heal so maybe follow his plan? It's not about "cheating" on a diet at this point, it's about your health and recovery.
Stephintex,
I appreciate your post. I am not on this message board to be attacked and I have never done this before so if you are someone who wants to say pretty much you already ****** up you are gonna fail you don't need to reply to my posts. I am on here for support and encouragement in this journey. I have done very well and just because I had a weak moment and had a tsp of peanut butter does that mean I am a bad person or wasted peoples time. NO it doesn't TIA. sorry you feel the way you feel but this will be a successful journey for me I know it will. I have done 8 months of weight loss and did well. I personally don't wanna hear negative comments. I am now 7 days out from surgery and I am far from a pro. I am sure your mother told you if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Your post did nothing but tick me off. No help for me at all sorry.
I am not on this site to be picked on and picked apart. I am here for support. Sorry if you were "compelled" to comment but you could have kept your harsh comments to yourself TIA

If i wanted to pick on you, I would have posted something way worse. I wrote what I wrote as a form of support.. a wake up call if you will. The hard work doesnt stop just because the surgery is over. And bottom line, if you dont want to hear anything negative, then maybe you shouldnt do and post things that will have negative reactions. If what I wrote ticked you off, THEN GOOD! I am glad. Take that ticked off-ness and channel it into something positive and do the right things from here on out. If you were able to be good for 8 months, why would you jeopardize your progress, your healing and your health by doing something that you shouldnt have?
I am in no way saying I am a pro, but 6 days after surgery.. REALLY? If it were a few months... maybe, but 6 days. You will get no sympathy from me, so if that is what you are looking for, you wont get it. And as far as the comment " didn't your mother teach you, if you have nothing nice to say..." No, My parents taught me to always speak the truth to whomever needs to hear it. Anyone keeping quiet on something like this is just furthering the idea that it is ok for you to break from the plan and not hold you accountable. People only get mad when the truth is said.
This journey is not easy for any of us! But you have to be honest with yourself. If you were willing to break from the plan only 6 days after surgery when it is most critical for you to follow the plan, whats to say about 3 or 4 months down the road when you are able to have solid foods... Granted, I am sure we all have had a small indulgence once in a blue moon, but if you couldnt stop yourself now, will you be able to stop yourself in the future.
Like I said before, this is a commitment you have to make every hour of every day now. Do I want you to be successfull, YES! And I sincerely hope that you are. However, there is a percentage of people that go through surgery, no matter which they elected, and fail because they didn't work the program. I don't want to be apart of that statistic and I know you dont either. No one wants to have gone through all of that for nothing.
Again, I and, I am sure, a lot of people on here are not going to baby you on this.
This is where the real work comes in.

Amber,
Try not to let the haters bother you. They way I have always viewed abusive posts is that the person posting has a problem, and it is an entirely different problem then whatever the original post was about.
This is not an easy journey, but it is a very rewarding one. I was not perfect by a long shot. I also would never encourage you to cheat or go off plan. But if it happens just focus on getting back on plan asap. I am not proud that I have had poor choices here and there, nor would I ever brag about it. But I am a former morbidly obese person who has to struggle and work at this weight thing, and I am not going to be absolutely perfect at it.
You will find some posters have an "all or nothing" type mentality here. I truly believe that some people need to have that type of focus to make it work. For me, that is a recipe for failure though. Preop I was the dieter who would be meticulous for 6 weeks, have one little mess up, then blow out the diet. My new mantra is to stay laser focused on being on the wagon or crawling back up on it. This, imho, is a long term approach that is doable.
With all that said, many here on this site use a caloric goal of 800 or less, and a carb goal of 40 grams or less, along with getting in the proteins and fluids. I think this seems to work very well for many, many posters. if you are not sure of any targets then this would be a fantastic place to start. Personally, I did that for the first two months or so. I ended up having issues with low blood sugar so I adjusted and now consume carbs spaced out carefully throughout the day and desparately try to avoid spiking sugar levels. The first two months were my best weight loss months, but the subsequent months were very productive. It has been a great plan of attach for me so far. I may need to try revert back to the above plan though if I end up struggling to get the last 30 off. Time will tell.
If it helps you can friend my on myfitnesspal and view my diary. Note my surgery date because you will see distinct shifts in eating as time progress from newly sleeveed to now. I am idateacher2 over there.

This is why I dont come on this board and stick to groups. Six days out and you already give in. My god you just had a life changing surgery and you cant stick to it. Just wait till 6 months comes and you notice you can eat a lot more. This is one of the more pathetic things Ive heard next to the guy melting cheese to get it down.
