For me, it's CheezIts - my gateway drug.

I was sleeved on 10/2/2018 and am down 47lbs. I feel like my progress is slow but steady. I’m actually in the 250’s for the first time in YEARS! My hubby and I have a Vegas trip planned in January and my gift to myself if I’m under 250 is to go horseback riding for the first time ever. I’ve never been under the maximum weight in my adult life so I’ve always avoided doing it. I know it will be cold but I don’t care. My butt will be freezing doing something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m so excited. Now to continue this hard work. I’m about 60ish lbs from where I think I want to be, which is under 200, and it finally feels like a realistic goal! Here’s to being sexy in Vegas. To all my fellow sleevers “We’ve got this”! HW - 306 SW - 298 CW - 259 GW - none (just to be under 200) Height - 5’8 1/2

Over the past month, I can’t seem to drink room temp water anymore. Feels like a rock hitting my stomach Looking for suggestions other then ice water which can be tough on my belly sometimes too. I have to make sure I’m hitting my water intake Thanks

Yes that’s exaclty what mine says. Hope you feel better soon too 🖤

The stall officially broke yesterday and I'm down to 234! So 3lbs lost in 2 days! HALLELUJAH!

I'll just back away quietly from that one :-P This is so true. I'm quickly discovering that whilst a portion of chicken breast might fill me up very quickly so that I remember "oh yes, hello stomach the size of a small peach", crap slider food is still the devil. My bypass isn't going to stop me putting it in my mouth, only I can do that! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

One of my surprise delights about this surgery - WAY less farting that when I was fat! And way less smelly, when one does make an appearance. With exceptions - like some others have said, certain foods seem to affect me. As to fart+ - or, as I think of it, fart-with-follow-through - yep, from time to time that is a reality, especially for me when I am eating out of routine. But if I am in routine, no problems...

It seems you realize what your behavior was. That is the first step in correcting it. Remove the snacks from the house and give them to somebody else. If you have a guest at your home..give them to the guest so they are out of sight but remove them from your areas. A mistake is a mistake, we are all going to make them, but we pick back up and keep moving forward so it doesn't because a habit. You can conquer!

I get it with the Doritos. That’s the one food that I can NOT resist. I have decided - for me - I can NEVER eat Doritos again. Not ever. Not even one! I am thinking of Doritos like my “drug”. For the first month or two (after swearing off them forever) I thought of them every day. If that’s not addiction, I don’t know what is!! Now I’m down to thinking about them on occasion - like maybe once a week. It might be something for you to consider if you can’t control yourself around them. Now other chips? I haven’t had them yet but I know I could have a few. I’m only “addicted “ to the damn Doritos!!

Generally immediately post op you are told no pills bigger than an m&m...i think my nutritionist gave an ok for larger pills around 1 month out. Also as you move farther from surgery you can drink more normally, not just tiny sips. I personally would consider a small drink to take pills/vitamins with food ok...just not having a full on drink with the meal. Alternatively you could possibly take the vitamins 30 min or so after the meal-when it is ok to drink again, but you still have some food in your stomach.
