So I did it, I gave in to chocolate. Damn Easter bunny!!! Well I defiantly don't dump. Boo... I told my husband that candy/ sweets are just not allowed to be in the house. I can go out and not think about it twice, but if it's sitting in my kitchen I can't stop thinking about it. Bad me! I guess this is where I accept my mistake and move on and try to not let that happen again, but it's so hard to forgive yourself sometimes.

I too had chocolate on Easter and didn't dump, but Tuesday I had 3 bites of cheesecake and I dumped big time. I was in horrible pain for 2 hours and all I wanted to do was throw up. I got the shakes and started to sweat and get dizzy. I got upset and confused and all I could do was crawl up in my bed and wait it out. It was so horrible I swore I'd never have another piece of anything sweet again. They weren't kidding when they said it would cure my sweet tooth. The sweets just aren't worth that torture.

I am 3 and a half weeks post op and haven't had the guts to try anything sweet. The way people describe dumping....I couldn't deal. I definitely wouldn't have dared tried soda...that's a no no for the rest of my life! Easter was so hard because my daughter and niece made the damn cupcakes and omg! It took everything in me not to power one down lol....I made it through though

I was in a cab yesterday and the driver is one of my regulars. She had the surgery 4 yrs ago and proceded to tell me how she drinks sodas eats chocolates and Cookies and doesn't dump.....I was sorta mad...like why put your body through all of that just to resume the same old habits? Its a lifestyle change...on the other hand I think I was envious bc I can't eat that anymore...Maybe I could but as painful as dumping sounds I wouldn't even try!

i totally agree anjela! why would anyone go thru this just to resume their bad eating habits. i wonder if she realizes how much more she would loose if she didnt eat all those bad things. i dont even crave sweets or soda....i look at them and think " thats the old me". and like u, even if i did want them i wouldnt even try out of fear of getting sick. its just not worth it.

I think she was trying to re-assure me that I would be able to eat again someday but even when I can you can bet I won't be eating like that! #Disturbed

      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.
