I crave salt so bad that this morning, I sprinkled salt on a plate and licked it off. Really, how insane is that?!

Uh I ate straight salt from my palm more than once post op before I could eat much. Love my salt!

I chew gum but if I had to pick the worst thing I did was last night. I ate one of those tiny things of ice cream that had like 2oz of ice cream in it and a few banana nut crackers with cream cheese on them. Unfortunately they were complete sliders and created absolutely no ill effect which in turn created more guilt. Not worth it, but I put them in My Fitness Pal and had to face the calorie overload.

During purée stage, I made tacos for the kids' dinner and decided to try it. meat, cheese and sour cream blended nicely.

On vacation, I had a beignet.

I chew gum ALOT.

I have a glass of Cheerwine (a regional soda) and a slice of pizza on Tuesday nights (not every, but occasionally). I can eat the crust, use a straw and soda is not flat or diet. It's the only place in town it's on tap, so it's a special treat.

Sleeve o' Steel here, but I behave at home usually.

Too bad I'm boarding a cruise ship in the morning! Thank goodness I don't like chocolate!

I self adjusted my post-op diet....I ended up doing Clear Liquids for half week....full liquids for half... then pureed lasted about 4 days....I ended up doing really soft well chewed stuff but still foods....and i had no problems with it. Now... I eat what I want mostly...I do Protein first....and am mostly getting it all in. still I feel guilty....but I only can do a couple tbs at a time and eating 3x per day. Hard to sabotage that. I'm 31 lbs down.... and sporting my sleeve. Oh and fro-yo is pretty good as a treat... but not often.

Oh you guys, all these confessions are music to my ears. Please lets keep this thread beat-down free?!

Today I ate a mojo bar, a luna bar and the chicken from a Lean Cuisine noodle dish. Then I sat in the recliner and read all day. In my defense, a 90-minute karate class nearly killed me last night and I think I broke a toe.

I must be the cheater of all time on here, it could have been 2 weeks after surgery that I had some chips, but probably was more like four days. Well I'm like 6 weeks out, down 34lbs. Hello, my name is Colette, and I'm a CHEATER. Every frikin day!! Its HARD, I really don't think there is a person on this forum that hasn't cheated. I think its all part of the game, its a frikin rollercoaster everyday.

Cheers,

Colette

Ooh' date=' here's another good one: I was told to never chew gum again. But like 5 days after surgery, I totally got some gum and chewed it anyways. Oh yea, I was a rebel.[/quote']

Speaking of gum, I brought back 10 packages of my fav gum from Mexico, I have 3 left

****! I'm just dieting before surgery on Nov 4th; not even on my pre-op diet yet and already today I fell of the wagon face first into McfuckingDonald's fries. I'm screwed! This tread is hilarious! Can't wait till I have my VSG' date=' I'll probably use a Snickers as a suppository. God forbid if I get a craving during PMS week. I have lost 11 lbs in two weeks.[/quote']

I just laughed so loud at ur response, lol, and I pushed out a fart, yup, I said it!

Wondering if this is a serious thread of not but here goes:

I drink a lot of alcohol in one sitting.

I don't exercise (my skin looks pretty okay)

I am beginning to feel my bulimia rear it's ugly head again and consume my life.

I'm scared to confess this to my doctor and get actual help so I pretend like everything is okay when it's not

Mme R, thanks, this thread is brilliant.

I love that even when eating something, em, less good, some of us are still compelled to log it in My Fitness Pal!!!!! Lmao.... Our nuts/dieticians would be soooo proud :-))))))

I ate chocolate and potato chips anf OJ while on vacation one month postop . I had to be sneaky about it since all my travel mates knew I had surgery.

Funny thing is, I haven't wanted to that again (and haven't touched a chip since).

Dudes! I am so very proud of you all. But really? 'I ate some ice cream'. 'I ate some cheese goo on a cracker'. Damn, I was wanting to see 'Yeah, you know, I went to Crystals and ate 25 of their cheeseburgers. I washed this down with a large coke (through a straw), large fries and had apple pie for dessert'. You lot are positively saintly!!!! :) x

      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.
