I had my sleeve 4-24-12 and I have been doing well with not eating foods I'm not supposed to... Then the potato chip monster attacked and forced me to eat 10 chips. What's gonna happen? I kind of already don't feel too good... But I'm not sure if that is how my stomach feels or if my mind is just playing a mean game on me. Any ideas?

You'll be fine :) I ate a couple chips only 2 weeks out and I'm still lossing weight. You don't have to totally deprive yourself of "bad" food.. because your always going to want it. Just don't eat it on a regular basis, but give yourself some room to mess up. Your not perfect!! And, just think....before the surgery you probably would have eaten the whole bag, right? I know I would have...and now I can only eat like 10 at a time. I'm pretty happy with that :)

I have totally messed up. I am craving sweets so bad! I have a ton of head hunger going on. And I have been eating a little more than usual. Fearful of getting on the scale tomorrow morning. But will get back on track first thing in the AM. Oh, my hubby bought a bag of Pepperidge Farm Cookies and I ate them so he wouldn't. Also ate a stupid cupcake my kids left on the counter. So BADDDDDDDDDDDDDD! :(

If you haven't already gotten sick from eating the potato chips, then you probably won't. That is NOT license to eat all the chips you want. Are you back on soft solids yet according to your dietary plan? If not, NIX the chips until you're back on solids. Once you're on solids, it's okay to have a chip here and there, just don't let it become an every day or every week thing. The goal (for me) is to eventually eat like a normal person. I'll always have to do my Protein and Water, but I want to be able to incorporate things like a few bites of birthday cake or a small serving of potato chips into my diet. I am NOT on a diet; I'm working on lifestyle changes.

The only thing I've found so far that I flat cannot have in my house is cheetos. Baked cheetos are from the devil, IMO and they cannot come into my house because they sit in my pantry and call my name "Lissa, Lissa"! LOL

      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.
