Unfortunately,I have tried these already. This is my poison, the guilt that I had felt was not even worth it. This what made me fat in the first place and I cant believe I tried it again. It went down easily. Im 5 weeks out. I will be putting them out of sight . only reason why I have it in the house is so the kids can take it to school. Its all the baked stuff and I have the air popped popcorn without butter. Its still my poison. Im so mad that this still weakens me and takes over.

At 3 weeks, I had tried ice cream, peanuts, and sunflower seeds. My stomach kinda grumbled over the tablespoon of ice cream, but no problems with peanuts or sunflower seeds. I haven't tried any of the others.

Hey RX - you've lasted 6 weeks without all those empty snack foods - don't give them that much power! The old you is the poison, and that was left in the O.R.

Stay strong and try to dig deep to find within yourself why you would even consider introducing these things into your diet (especially as a new sleever). You can do it!

I eat a hand full of almonds or nuts daily and they are fine. I was able to eat them starting at 6 weeks. The chips and ice cream not my favorite so I haven't tried them yet and I can't stand popcorn.< /p>

I have had a few not ff ice cream that's just nasty. I had half of what the serving size was. I marked it down on my fitness pal and gave myself 15 more mins on the electrical :). I'm not on a diet I have a permanent Portion Control device now my sleeve. I have to live the rest my life like a normal human. If I want some chips I eat some chips. I did not till I was ok by my nut to do so. But if I eat some junk I work off that junk ;) just like any other normal woman :)

Let me add had chips 3/4 times. popcorn air poped 1/2 times. And nuts are ok for me anytime after I was 3 months out so I have had them maybe 6 times. I'm 5 months out.

My coworker has opened my eyes to a new way to crunch!!! She brought these little Persian cucumbers to work (I bought a big back at costco for $4! Or you can get them at Trader Joes) . You can slice them into spears and use them to pick up dip instead of using chips. Has all the crunch you need and it's a vegetable!!! I admit I had a week of eating tortilla chips and have since weaned off and am all about Persian cucumbers!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
