Ok fellow sleevers...........tell me if I was terriable today...I'm ready and I can take it.

I had surgery 5 weeks ago.....I'm on the "soft foods" part of the food plan. my girlfriends took me to Red lobster to Celebrate my birthday. I ordered the parmesean crusted talipita, broccoli, and mashed potatoes. (I know were not supposed to eat mashed potatots anymore)....but I thought 2 small bites wouldnt kill me. so i did. and mmmmmmm boy were they yummy. but before that, they brought out those yummy garlic,cheese biscuits. I only intended to lick one and that was gonna be all...........well, I bet u can guess what's coming....i ate 3 small bites!

has anyone else been bad like this.....I'm feeling soooo guilty.

First - happy birthday!

Second - you did great! I wouldn't do it every day - but the occasional isn't bad. And it's not like you went totally overboard on it.

I think you did Great! Red Lobster is one of my favorites, and I know I would do a lot worse than you did. I love their biscuits! And I love their mashed potatoes. Carbs are always my downfall! I think you did great. You just can't do it everyday. BTW---Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Purdy :)

Listen, I go to Chilis every other week and I enjoy the

Heck out of it. We have to continue our lives and continue

Doing the things that make us happy. We just have to be

Careful and moniter the foods and calories we eat.

Now a days most all resturents have a nutritional page on

There web site which makes it so easy for us in helping

To decide what to order. When my friends our family want to go have dinner we decide where we are going and I go straight to thee nut page and decide then what I'm gonna order based on calories, Protein etc..., I don't even look at

The menu. It helps me to do this-it may help you too.

Have fun with it and don't feel guilty.

First off young lady, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Secondly, haven't we done enough of that feeling guilty all our lives? Lets not do that to ourselves forever, life is way too short. . .I'm so glad you enjoyed your B/day celebration, just get back on the path and walk it straight for now, but remember if you fall off it, just shrug it off and carry on . . . once again Happy B/day!

I think you did just fine. Lick the biscuits. That made me laugh out loud!!! Hey, you still have to enjoy life. Just like everyone already said, an occasional treat is not going to derail you. Deprivation is what leads to excess in my opinion. Let yourself have treats now and then. I love Red Lobster, seafood is my second favorite food after Mexican. Yummy!

Happy Birthday, btw.smile.gif

Happy birthday! Don't beat yourself up. Good grief. A few bites of biscuit on your birthday is a WHOLE lot better than you would have done in the past, right? That's why they're called "celebrations," because we don't do them every day-- let yourself off the hook for that one. Enjoy YOU!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
