Only 1 week out since gastric bypass and already...
BE AFRAID - YEP BE VERY AFRAID, YOU WILL BUST THOSE STAPLES IN NO TIME. OFF TO THE E.R. YOU WILL GO AND A RANDOM SURGEON IN THE HOUSE WILL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH. IT IS, AFTER ALL THE HOLIDAYS. EVERYONE IS GOING ON VACATION.
REALLY, SERIOUSLY ANYONE WHO DOES SOMETHING THIS AMAZINGLY STUPID A WEEK OUT UNFORTUNATELY GETS ANYTHING THEY CHOSE TO ATTRACT LIKE A DANGEROUS LIFE THREATENING SITUATION.
AND NO YOU WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL practicing THIS DUMB ARSE BEHAVIOR.
FOLLOW YOUR POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS!
GOOD LUCK!
Wow. A cheeseburger. .be careful. .don't take this the wrong way. Bc I was having trouble tolerating food and I still am and I'm a month out. U have to be careful with leaks.i think they recommend to be on liquids so your stomach inside can heal. Trust me you will feel restrictions in a couple of days. Good luck.

Thank you for sincere reply. I was told to have soft foods for 2 weeks and sadly chose to experiment. I'm still on soft foods, but now I realize from the few non-hostile posts I've read so far, how damaging my choices can/could have been. Btw, it was a kid's meal cheeseburger, but still I thought that would cause problems. I realize now how potentially damaging that choice was. Wish more people on this forum would consider that maybe, just maybe I am looking for guidance from people who have been through this. I don't know of anyone to call that can relate and I needed to connect with people that understand this is a quite a journey to go on with little or no support. Thanks again igabriel323! I do appreciate your answer.
This post made my night. Truly.

Did they not tell you that only half of RNY patients dump?
Now you know that it's up to you to succeed. If you continue to push yourself you may stretch your stoma and you'll be forever hungry, eating, having wasted your time and money on surgery.
Be careful.

No I didn't know that. Thanks for the reply, especially the 2nd half. I should say that to myself as a mantra during this next week. Really thanks.
