Well, I've had cake and Cookies (fiber one cookies) and about three Hersey kisses. Haven't felt guilty yet. I didn't have this surgery to never eat these things,ever in my life again. I had the surgery to allow myself to have control over my eating. After a few bites of anything, I'm done! And my life goes on. I love the freedom of that. Before my surgery, I would be obsessed with eating the entire bag of candy or the WHOLE cake. Now I'm just not interested. Also, there are times sweets are presented to me and amazingly, I'm not interested. But if I am, I ask for a small piece, indulge and throw out the rest of it.

I've had cake, pie, Cookies and candy........all in very small amounts. As @@finediva said, I didn't have surgery to never eat sweet again. I had it so I can learn to control what I eat. And I have. I know I can't eat sweets every day and in the massive quantities that I did before surgery, but having a bite of my husbands dessert when we go out to dinner is just good for my mental health. I don't feel deprived AND I feel like I'm finally in control.

I'm in the same place as FineDiva and Mae7365. Because my new downsized tummy will tell me when I've had enough, it makes it easier to NOT over-indulge in the things that taste the best to me, i.e. crunchy, spicy, salty foods, but if I want something, I will take a bite or two and quit, and that includes the sweets/chocolates/etc. What I miss the most right now is being able to take more than just a sip of ice cold Water, and I would LOVE to have a Diet Coke, but carbonated beverages are not permitted per my surgeon, so I am doing my best to follow his instructions so I can (and will be) successful in this journey, but I also don't want to feel deprived food-wise.

I feel pretty much the same most on this thread do. I had surgery to use this tool to help me live a healthy, happy ,well balanced life. :)

I will be 4 months out on Monday and I have had bites of sweets. I'm not much of a sweets person but every once in awhile something just looks good, so I take a bite. I can do this because I know (1) I can't eat more than that and (2) I don't want to eat more than that.

Don't beat yourself up about it, you have to learn how to balance your eating. Don't feel like you have to deprive yourself of anything, unless your new tummy doesn't like it.

Mrssugarbabe I am no 4 months post op and started my lifestyle change about 2 1/2 months before surgery so about 6 months since I had a soda. I was a big diet Pepsi drinker - like 6 / 8 a day and I was at a school function and they only had soda, I tried a diet Pepsi and it tasted disgusting! Totally disgusting to me - you may not like diet coke if you get around to trying it :)

Had a bit of cheesecake, a little bit of brownie, and 2 blue Hawaiian's on vacation and felt perfectly fine about it! Logged it, planned the rest of my day around eating better, and had a great time.

Can't let it eat you too! I was bad today and ate a chocolate turnover... Moving on though.

I've eaten a Fiber One cookie and it satisfies my sweet tooth. I agree with @@finediva that I had this surgery to control my out of control eating but not to never have little treats every now and then. I live by the "everything in moderation" motto now. As long as you aren't eating the whole cake and just needing a taste every now and then, I see no problem with it.

@JerzyTomato74. Fiber ones are great. I save them for my work out days and eat them about a half hour before I begin my workout

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
