One cookie and one bag of chips once in a blue moon is ok...that's what people do...but you have to keep it in check...like no more than once a month or something like that. I had a cookie Sunday..one smallish cookie...not the whole batch.

Anticipation was worse than actual surgery for me......I had lots of work done besides sleeve...I had two hernias repaired and a bunch of adhesions removed from a very old surgery.....and all done laparoscopic with 7 incisions. You are going to great! And keep us posted

If I can go thru this surgery anyone can...lost 96 lbs in 6 months. my only regret was not having it sooner. You will do great embarking on your journey tho a healthier you!

I love these posts....it reminds me to clean up my game! Thanks

I love to measure out two tablespoons and eat it with a tiny spoon in the evening as a snack. At only 45 calories and 5g p it's a great year with no guilt. I love it also in a banana smoothie

Congrats! I am certain you will attain your goal!

Congrats on meeting this goal. Imagine 100 blocks of butter stacked......Wow! Great job:)

You have done fantastic. Thank you for posting...very inspiring

Over- offers

Certain foods over little restriction......practice protein first. I get full quickly when doing this. I have seen some members post salad is a slider good for them.

Yes..if you drop the calories too much will lead to trouble. Sometimes I up them for a day and somehow it kicks in a drop. Increase exercise!

I weigh my food ...I like knowing how much I am eating...I feel more in control I guess.

so glad this is the past. what a trauma you and your child have suffered through. wishing you happiness!

you look amazing.....congrats!

i feel guilty of i don't measure my food and perhaps maybe....just maybe go over the amount ..both physically and calories i should be eating. i have great resistance with the sleeve but never great fear i Will stretch it out

. i was in nyc for business and are more than usual yesterday.....i wasnt going to get on the scale till Monday in case i gained ( lost 3 lbs) i wish i could lose the guilt and other issues with food, control...etc....

i an 100 says post op today and just started losing hair....just started biotin too...not gonna sweat it too much since it will grow back

i am so sorry, how disappointing for you. have you been assigned a new date yet? chin up

i think everyone is right.....meat sounds like its just too much for you right now. chili is the best......it's moist and the meat is broken down...you can also experiment with different kinds of meat in your chili. Yes! i ate alot of ricotta cheese bakes one month post op! refried beans with salsa and cheese cheese....i still eat chili almost daily at about 3 months post op.'

great advice...move up more gradually. it's tricky...isn't it?

i believe in being honest and saying things in a respectful way.....i have noted on this forum both ends of the spectrum. highly sensitive members as well as people who come across somewhat hostile. i do believe in giving folks honest feedback

i struggle with eating too quickly as well.....if anyone has any tricks please share

so sorry! wow....you have been suffering so much. was this a mistake due

to the surgeon or just being in unfortunate 1 percent? i am hoping ubegin feeling better soon john...
