Oh my, there are two things I cave, chocolate and peanut butter! i just made myself an iced coffee mocca. It hit he spot. I know that we can and can't give into cravings, but sometimes we have to do what we have to do!

As for just having one, I am not so sure. Pop tarts are one of those slider foods plus it tastes really good. Could be a trigger food for certain people. However, if none of these hold true, by all means, have a pop tart and relish the sweet toasty goodness. :)

Hey Fiddleman...sorry to go off topic but I just noticed on your ticker that the little man on the snowmobile/ski jet is about to crash into that tree...LOL!

look at the pop tart box. perhaps not as bad as you think. but the fresh strawberries and perhaps some cool whip might help get over the craving. you have been doing so good I don't think it would be the worse thing to happen if you gave into a craving once in a great while.

Are you kidding me.....Cool Whip is an edible oil! I would never put something like that in my body...... ;)

To Pop Tart or not to Pop Tart, that is the question...And you answered it with a big ole' HECK YEAH! We get to live our lives because we chose this path. ( to sleeve) And guess what? The occasional "off plan" food is part of that life. I feel it is safe to say you know exactly what you are doing and this was just a test...or a tease..for us. Way to goose us all!!! LOL

pop tarts aren't that great... I would either have fresh fruit OR a really GOOD pastry instead. :)

Oh my goodness another country heard from... ;) I think it depends on who wants to eat it eh!!!! I bought it, I ate it, and I enjoyed it....It was what I wanted and so it met its fate in my presents....now I no longer want one....lol

It was good though...But a lot smaller then I remember. That was disappointing..But then if it had been the regular size I probably would not have been able to finish it... :D

That is the entire point of the sleeve. To give you time to learn how to conquer the addiction of food. Working out the reasons why in your head, will help you work your body...

This tool gives you that opportunity to learn how to eat to live not live to eat....

So I do believe in treats as well. Always have..With balance and moderation....We are never going to totally beat the addiction. We will fight until our last breath. The point of weight loss surgery is to improve your health. By educating yourself about food and all the aspects we use it for. And then changing the way we see it.....

I will be a food addict the rest of my life..But I work every day to find the balance and moderation needed to reach my goals and stay there......I kinda like the control in this way now..It used to be I had control of food in my world and nothing else. Now I control what goes in my body...I love seeing food left on my plate and carefully examining how my sleeve is acting toward it.....Amazing machines aren't we all! :)

Oh no you got me wrong. I do not eat a treat because I think I deserve it. I do it because I want it and I can have it if I chose too. I have sliders that I have to be very careful with like popcorn, cracker chips...Like that...A pop tart is just that a pop tart and I have worked on myself for 2 years to put food where it belongs....To feed my body not my soul... It will always be a struggle because once you are an addict you are always an addict. I ate it and enjoyed it and today I am back on track....That is the difference in changing your brain set..from uncontrolled eating... I will struggle for the rest of my life like everyone on this forum or have had WLS to control the demon...I chose to poke it once in a while to see how far I have come...And I have come a long way baby....I hope the same for you someday otherwise it will become way to much being so restricted on a diet again..just a different one..... :)

Oh no! I didn't mean to say that YOU were saying that! I'm sorry! Someone else said you deserve it and it made me realize that's what I always tell myself, and it's bad for me . :-) glad you enjoyed your treat.

      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.
