I'm not saying if u can eat it u should everyone has an opinion and your weight loss is great but hear me out just cause u can eat don't mean u should I'm sure I could too but see u have to remember how u got to what u got to before surgery it's a mind game now oh I'll try this or try that I just don't think pizza Pasta sandwichs are good things to choose to eat 2 months out but your your own person but I don't want to put my self in a situation like that cause temptation is a bad thing I kno I quit smoking cigs and eating at the same time I'm only a month and a half out and I'm 55lbs downs again not here to argue this is a forum and I gave my opionion

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.

Not dropping weight as I had imagined' date=' but clothes are getting very loose![/quote']

Same with me but it's coming down. I started working out again today so we will see if it falls off any faster

[bigbrewww1 1]

I was sleeved on July 19 down 55 lbs so far loving it.... I only wish I had done it sooner before I had let my self go do far.

[VerticalMorey 31]

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'm still struggling to get my calories in, I do get my Water and Protein in. I hope it breaks soon! I wanna see 199 already. Lol

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.
