I NEVER DEPRIVE MYSELF!! I've noticed though that I really don't crave sweets anymore. I crave crunchy salty things. I just make sure I portion out 100 calories if I really want that snack. Thankfully

My wonderful sleeve tolerates everything.

I still eat ribs' date=' granted I can only hold one, but if I want it, I eat it. As for potato or egg salad, I have them too; but if you are worried about the fat and calories, make them with fat free Miracle Whip in place of regular mayo. fat free MW has 15 cals. per Tbsp. versus the 90 cals. in one Tbsp. of regular mayo. Happy eating :)[/quote']

mayo made me dump (literally almost passed out, threw up, diarrhea, cold sweat) wondering would miracle whip have the same effect?

It shouldn't. My FIL has the same issue with mayo. Has no prob with miracle whip. It should be a wonderful alternative for you!

Maybe a few weeks from now when I have more courage I will try miracle whip. Lol

When my sleeve doesn't like something, for me refined sugar too quickly and too much, I get a stomach cramp and feel hot and sweaty and almost sick. Then off to the bano I go!

Some people dump, some people just get sick. Sometimes nothing happens until later. TMI -- I ate lettuce the other day for the first time and everything was fine until I had a BM. It wasn't digested at all.

Change your perception. You eat to live' date=' not for emotional fulfillment. If you can train yourself in that, you WILL enjoy all of your savory bites!

First I have to ask, what does "Dump" mean to a sleeve pt.

Second what I crave most is a cold drink that is not with the nasty sugar free taste, so I just don't drink now. I have an appt on Friday, I am hoping he can help me :(

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
