Well let's be honest here. My granddaughter decided to bake chocolate chip Cookies. Grandma here decided to measure out a teaspoon of cookie dough from scraping the bowl. Guess what 130 calories! Onto my fitness pal. Before banding I would have scraped that bowl clean. We all add extra calories that are not the best for us but next time I'm going to think twice before "wasting" my 130 calories on a teaspoon Of cookie dough. fruit would have been a better option and healthier but what's done is done. I'm eating healthier the rest of the day. By the way, I love sour patch kids and cheezeits myself but those are trigger foods for me so I avoid them. Don't even get me started on movie theater popcorn lol.

I'm only 8 days post op and I'm starving!!! I have my Protein but the two oz portions are not filling me. I'm also having liquids. What did you guys do?

I was on soft foods by then so I ate Tomato Soup, refried Beans, oatmeal, mashed spuds, well steamed veggies, most Soups, I was never relegated to 2 oz portions? I was told 4-8 ozs.

I had a tsp of nutela and Davonte's it for 5 whole minutes. I was delightful. We're only human. Sometimes you just have a moment but then you get right back on track. Good luck

I guess we all have cheated. For me has been about balance. If I know I'm only eating between 1000 and 1200 calories a day, if I get a cookie, that became one of my 3 meals. I'm cheating less and less taking it this way because I'm still not in my green zone so for me is way better get some chicken and salad instead of 1 cookie. At the end I feel more satisfied. My doctor always tells me that i shouldn't deprived yourself, this is a life time commitment and if you restrict everything is going to be just another diet and failure is guaranteed. Portion Control and balance, this is my new diet for success
