I had a mini-funeral for Diet Coke. I still crave it. Maybe when the sleeve heals I will have some real fruit juice infused carbonated Water. It takes about 6 months right?

Camping this weekend I was handed a Jalepeno kettle cooked potato chip. I nibbled on it for a few minutes. It was good and I didn't want more. The day before my daughter handed me a rye chip from her Gardettos. I nibbled on it and was happy.

I CAN DO THIS!

Never had a crawfish or a boil (and never plan to have one either!) but I had the same concerns about pizza or taco's or whatever.

What happens is that you are physically unable to pig out without causing considerable pain and/or vomiting. I am one who believes in eating what you want, within reason, only controlling the amounts. Protein first then veggies (have almost no desire for breads, rice or pasta)

I would think eating crawfish would be "legal" and I think you'll find just a bite or two of the potatoes and whatever else will satisfy you.

My problem is that I after I eat the food, it tasted soooooooo good that I want more. But I know that if I take even one more bite I will be uncomfortable for hours. So that keeps me from over eating. You only have so much space and if you try and overfill it-it just can't fit so it comes right back up.

But I say go and enjoy and socialize and just figure out how to make the meal work into your plan. In small amounts.

I miss diet pepsi - it was my go to every morning - always a bottle in the frig for a quick sip to start my day off - this morning I craved Water when I woke up.

I think a scallop would be ok - cut up in small pieces. My thought on the food intake is to not totally deprive myself of anything - just a taste is all I need; I am fine knowing that I can eventually have a bite or two of anything my stomach will accept; just not going to eat a half a bag at one sitting - just a taste will be fine.

Yesterday I had two parties to attend; ate piece of cheese, small meatball and a piece of shrimp at both - I even ate an eighth of a piece of boneless buffalo chicken - (before I would have eaten 8 of them).

I have lost 28lbs to date - my doctor put me on regular food after three weeks (sleeved four weeks ago) so far everything is great - so glad to not feel deprived of anything (except beer and pepsi) - it is working for me!

I haven't had any food funerals thus far and don't plan to, but I had to let you guys know that this is the CUTEST thread ever.

LOL!!!!!!! Boy I sure would love to have some crawfish right now!!! I"m so glad that I don't live in Louisiana because I would probably weigh over 600 lbs or more. Love me some Cajun food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My funeral-to-be is going to have to involve chinese food (dumplings! stir fry! spring rolls!) and Peanut Butter chocolate chip Cookies. Frankly, anything peanut butter and chocolate makes me go "Yes, please, I'll have another". Yet at the same time I'm okay with it. Just think about how much nicer it'll be in the summer heat without the extra poundage!
