I had poutine yesterday. Bad news. I felt terrible. My new tummy is not a fan.

ugh...good free aversion therapy, though, right? How far out are you? Once you are at least a couple of months out, you could try using Flat-Out lite wraps to make a homemade pizza. It is relatively low in carbs and has about 9 g of Protein for a whole Flat Out (you might only be able to eat about half). You can crisp up in the oven first and then add protein toppings and put it back in the oven. My RD recommends this and I've tried it once--it was tasty. Flat Out says to put in oven at 350 degrees but I thought a higher temp of 400 or 425 worked better (crispier). It doesn't take long to crisp up. I don't really miss pizza so not a huge deal but for someone who does, it could be a good option.

I know exactly how you felt, did the same thing a time or two with good food but just too much by one spoon. Also had to go and get rid of it. I could never do that before but it is so easy with my sleeve, dont like doing it however as I am scared that my sleeve will get damaged as I am only 1 month out but rather that than the pain and discomfort. Wish that there would be a pre alert to that one bite or spoon too much but it is a matter of its good now and the very next minute you are in trouble. The frustrating thing is that the amount varies with the food and time of day!

hehehe, yep, "Free Aversion Therapy". But think and maybe skip the experiment next time. Might not be worth it!

Knowing me I'd still try it and then be upset with myself for doing it. Some people are the type you tell "hey you're going to burn your hand" and they won't touch the fire. I'm the type that says "who me?" and tries it anyway. Yup, I was that kid and now I'm that adult.

My Sleeve has taught me to try not and push boundaries too much. That's I guess another NSV for me.

That's a great NSV, TwinsMama! I was smiling reading your post. I love how self-aware, confident, and realistic you are--I am sure those are assets during this journey.

My husband looked at me and said why didn't you do this again when it had a bed affect before and I said but I like Chinese noodles....see I had to keep touching the fire...

Oh there was pork in the noodles and was not able to eat much...sure went down good and then came up...yuck!!!

I'm the same way with pulled pork. Why of all things does my stomach not like pulled pork? It's on the list of high Protein meats...but it rebels every time I try. I haven't learned to stop trying in the last 10 months. I keep hoping one day it will decide it likes it after all.

      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.
