It's done sister don't beat yourself up! Our stomaches were changed not our brains and that change is going to take longer. Let it go, are you getting your protein shakes in? If you do feel starving and need to cheat, do it on something that you are approved to eat like sf pudding or something soft that won't hurt your tummy!

Very true, I just got released today on soft foods and full liquids. I need to go buy protein shakes since I can start them today.

Get the protein in it will help with the hunger. I cheated with 2 oreo cookies the other night and I paid with foam vomit about 15 minutes later. Im 2 months out but why would I eat a freaking oreo?? I won't beat myself up, I will move forward and make better choices and so should you. Good luck.

I agree with Sramos, what is done is done and all you can do is live and learn from your mistakes. No one will be perfect on this journey, I know I havent!

Wishing you the best of luck

Thank you so much for sharing! I went out to buy protein and I was suprised by how high the calories were. 170 for 30grams and they all had some sugar at rite aid. I decided to order online instead. Are there any low calorie sugar free brands that you all might suggest?

get samples! about time does samples, google tryabouttime.com and I think BJ's bariatrics carries the syntrax nectar drinks. I had some i liked pre surgery that are leaving a weird blanket coating across my tongue. g-ross!!! I see my surgeon tomorrow and I am going to ask if i can sip pureed/liquified protein foods to get my protein. What day were you sleeved? Mine was sept 28. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

The brand I use is EAS AdVANTage Choc. flavor. Low carbs, 17 gms protein and It taste good chilled well.

Be careful about hunger vs Acid!!! This is a very common misunderstanding! People think they are really hungry when in fact its the stomach making an over abundance of acid, and then you eat things like crackers to calm the acid!!! Make sure to be takinga PPI (like over the counter prilosec or nexium) your doc should have prescribed. When I get really hungry- it's almost ALWAYS because I forgot to take my PPI. For a few weeks I was taking it twice a day- any day I miss or forget I suddenly get ravanous around noonish- so make sure to take your meds! If not you can get them cheap over teh counter as well!

I was sleeved sept 27 exactly a week ago this morning and Im down 16.8 lbs since surgery!

Thanks for the protein suggestions, I really appreciate it!

Thats very interesting about the acid. I will make sure I take my pills. Its really hard to distinguish so early out what is going on in this new mini tummy of mine!

I woke up this morning and I am back on track. got in a 20 min walk and my first water bottle! I dont what came over me yesterday but I am back in a good frame of mind and ready to get this weight off The support of all of you has been truly helpful and encouraging, beyond words... Thank you <3

Tamara, I was sleeved the 28th and am no where near the 16lbs down that you are. You're doing great!! You've slipped up and you know it--let it go and move on. Good luck with keeping on track and sincerely, huge congrats with the loss so far!!

Thank you so much Suusje for the encouragement! How has your hunger been (or lack there of)?
