Only 1 week out since gastric bypass and already...

A week out and a Mickey D's cheeseburger already !!! Soft food or not, U gotta rethink what ur eating.

I would be more concerned with popping a staple than stretching out your stomach,

You can eat that stuff because the nerves have been cut so you don't feel restriction.

Like others have said only about 30% of people dump and in all your research that should have been seen or talked about atleast once.

The people that are successful put their mind, body, and soul into working the tool they have been given. They don't experiment at a week out going off their plan.  I would highly suggest you find a therapist ASAP or you may end up down a slippery slope that you cannot climb back up from.

I appreciate your reply.

At one week out, your capacity would be 1oz or less. Many of us reach 3oz or so once things have healed up-- STILL not enough room for an entire cheeseburger.

Eating that much, especially right after surgery, is just begging you to blow a staple line and cause serious injuries.

oh honey... this is frickn ridiculous. please let this be a WAKE UP CALL.

"get therapy" is not a joke, or a cliché- we all have mental **** to work through in our positions, but some have more than others. pick up the phone and set the appointment- what you did IS NOT NORMAL.

you just had f'ing surgery- you altered your body to change your weight- its drastic! there's really no other option after this! if you can't make this work your physical and emotional health are hugely at stake.

and wth is your friend or whoever doing handing you a cheeseburger- did they know you had surgery?? where's the support?

the beginning of the surgical experience is when most people have the highest levels of motivation, this is really frightening for your future based on this action.

get it together, snap out of it!

My friend that's taking care of me post-op offered the kids cheeseburger, but I'm responsible for my choices.  The varied reactions here in OH have made me see how serious a mistake my decisions have been.  

"Where's my motivation?" is exactly what prompted me to come on OH.

Don't be offended. 

The vets here are amazing..  they care, they worry.. most have seen really bad results come of poor choices and want to prevent it.  Be grateful so many people cared enough about a strangers well being they commented and gave you a slap back to reality. 

But stop the excuses.. you made the choice to take the burger you made the choice to eat it.

Saying but I didn't order it and she gave it to me is an excuse .. face it, own it and move on to better choices and stick to the plan. 

Best of Luck

Thanks for the input.  I guess I was defensive, go figure. Ha.  I do own my mistake, squarely.  It was that realization and ownership that brought me to post here to begin with.  Didn't expect the backlash.  Some of the slaps were good for me.

It doesn't matter if it's a "kid's" cheeseburger or not--I don't know how someone at one week post-op could get a bite of cheeseburger down let alone a WHOLE cheeseburger down.  I can't even get applesauce down right now.

I'm pretty new here, but I find it hard to believe that someone who went through extensive pre-op stuff to be approved for surgery would be even willing to take a bite of a cheeseburger, not to mention the chocolate bar.  I'd be too terrified of stuff getting stuck or ruining the sutures.  This is bizarre.

FYI a happy meal burgers are regular sized burgers.  Get wise and get better.  That was a poor choice, a poor test of your new Frankenstein stomach.  And the Hershey's chocolate Almond bar - get real lady!  Are you fricken kidding me!

I truly do wish you the very best.
