Well, I'm the one who posted about the pizza. I have been very strict on my diet since about 3 weeks pre op. I have not waivered from my doctor's orders EVER and I'm totally fine with that and happy to have the new life that I do. My mom had invited all of us over for monthly birthdays and had called me in advance to let me know that she had ordered me thin crust Canadian bacon pizza. I freaked out and immediately turned here for advice. I got to my mom's and could not bring myself to eat it. It did t feel right. I ate three pieces of Canadian bacon and that was it. Please don't judge a person or their food choices or their "how I got there" story until you read all of their posts. Totally not mad, I just wanted you to know where my heart was when I posted the question yesterday. BTW, I'm 31 days post op and have lost 32 pounds. I have a new appreciation for food and my life.

Wow, I sure got crucified for eating three pieces of Canadian bacon... I didn't even put a slice of pizza on my plate! I finished off my horrible slip of again, my three slices of Canadian bacon with a Premier Protein shake. I didnt mean to or intend to start a war or rant and if I could figure out a way to delete my original post I would. I know your heart is in the right place and you don't want us to fail, and I appreciate that but take it a little easier. I am not like the people you know who are making poor choices and please again, read all of what I say before you unfairly make a judgement on me or my character and lump me into a failure category. Again, I do appreciate your willingness to care enough to respond.

I am so tired of the extreme critical opinions I have been seeing regarding eating carbs etc. I think that a cheat here and there is healthy. I myself I have tried diet after diet, depriving myself of certain things only to lose 50lbs and gain 80 back. I think deprivation got me to the weight I was pre-op. the great thing about the sleeve is, the Portion Control it forces. I will not feel guilty for eating a piece of toast, a bite of Mac and cheese, or a sugary sucker, nor will I allow others to make me feel guilty.

I think everyone is making great points I think ultimately we all should remain positive of our common goal which is weight lost I agree with both points being only 3 weeks post out I'm not going to eat pizza right now, but I'm sure I will and I'll have chocolate and other foods I like, but it will be done in moderation. I didn't go through this surgery to get fat again, but I will have a normal Healthy life key word Healthy, and in like even the most healthiest person has a slice of pizza now and than not every day do live life and enjoy your sleeves!! Good luck to everyone!!!

SW: 250 July 7: surgery date, today 9/4- 218-219, I'm stalling now , so annoying! Eating 600 calories if I'm lucky, working 6 days a week and cardio 3-4 times a week as well as working in a restaurant where I never sit down. Always on the run!

With numbers like that, when your stall DOES break, it will break in a big way! 600 calories does sound too low though.

I agree with the above. I stalled for 3 weeks and then I upped my calories by 100 and added some exercise and it broke it. I didn't think I could go over 600-700 either but it's really like an extra slice of cheese or few bites of chicken at night.

I will try my best, thanks.

      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.
