I'm only seven weeks post op, but I know from years of dieting that as soon as I stop measuring and logging all my food, I gain without even realizing. I know that measuring and weighing and logging has to be something I do pretty much forever to be successful. It is a pain in the ass. But I am worth it. And so are you! None of us want to make this investment of time and energy and money to gain in the end. This is a lifelong journey, and we are on it with you!

^^THIS And...popcorn is corn...a crap vegetable that's bad carb heavy...if she's stuffing nothing but corn in her mouth all day, well, yeah...she's going to gain.

Hello all, I am new here. I had my surgery November 8th 2017, had a wonderful surgeon and great staff, I love my post op weight, still have about 16 lbs to go for my personal goal weight. I ran across some one talking about sliders and triggers mentioning that crackers popcorn are trigger foods. What exactly are they and how do they affect us as sleevers? I must admit I absolutely love rosemary crackers and have eaten them with some cheese and grapes for an actual meal. Anyone out there can comment on this for me?

Slider foods are foods that turn to mush or liquid in your mouth:- Crackers Chips Popcorn candy Chocolate Cake Highly processed foods etc They are high calorie, easy to overeat and have no effect on your hunger levels. Non sliders are foods that are still relatively solid when they get to your stomach Meat,fish,chicken,vegetables They are full of nutrients and fill you up.

Band to Sleeve Revision #3, Dec 27! So ready!

My pre-op diet was Protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, then a sensible meal for dinner. No sugars, low fat. By day 3 or 4, I was big time into carb withdrawal. I felt just like you describe. I was sluggish, foggy brained, grumpy, and had a headache that would not quit. It only lasted a couple days, then I felt much better. Hang in there. After surgery, it doesn't feel like such a hardship. In fact, the opposite was true for me. I had little or no appetite and had to stick to a feeding and fluid schedule. PS: I lost less than 5 pounds in the pre-op diet. Some people really lose, but I sure didn't.

This is what the pre-op psy exam is supposed to help flush out. Get to some addiction counseling / AA. Several bottles of wine a day, sadly, makes you an alcoholic. You seem to be accepting the addiction to wine, now you need to step up and get some help. Alcohol is in no way a healthier option than food, I don't see how you can justify wine as being healthier. 2 bottles of wine puts you into the 1300 - 1500 calorie a day mark, and with no protein or other required nutritional value... it's pure empty calories. So it's really no better than soda from a "health" standpoint. I hope you do get some help... this is bad on a few levels for a non-altered person, worse so for a WLS patient.
