My daughter brought a box of Thin Mints into the house. It was no less than a miracle I was able to resist without having one.

Now if they'd been Samoas, all bets would be off. LOL!

I hear yea chocolate is my downfall

So I ordered 20 boxes. Yep. 20. 10 from my niece and 10 from my BFFs daughter. My BFF was instructed to send them to the troops :-). The boxes I hit from my niece have been distributed to coworkers. I had 1 shortbread Trefoil and 1 lemon Savana Smile cookie. That was more than enough for me. BUT I also know better than to order the Samoas. Seriously? Who in their right mind could resist those?! :-)

Man, I was really hoping this was a recipe or something so I could eat them (haha, I can dream can't I?) and Samoas are my favorite! :) I didn't buy any, I would definitely eat the whole box easily, there just too good.

My daughter is a Girl Scout; so, I had to buy some. Luckily, I have too much. I have had 2 Savannah Smiles and 1 Samoas. Fortunately, Samoas are not my favorite. Good luck being good everyone!

Yeah but those Savannah Smiles sure are good, aren't they? I had only one and I almost forgot those other boxes are still in the trunk of my car.

when i was leaving Sams Club last week there was a boy selling candy bars for some school function with his mother standing by. i asked him which was his favorite ..he said Kit Kat so i handed him a buck an told him to have one on me. I felt good both because i passed up the temptation an helped/rewarded him for his efforts.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
