Just out of curiosity, can I have your comments on bread, diet coke and Cookies?

[CowgirlJane 14,260]

Diet coke = not food - don't do it

Cookies = junky, carby food makes me hungry when I eat it - don't do it

Bread= limited quantities of good quality bread can be a healthy part of the diet. I really eat very little bread, even years post surgery

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

No, no, and no.

[Elode 8,093]

The answers always No! Lol!

[Niki15 198]

Nope

[liannatx 897]

No to all in the weight loss stage.

Bread - Rarely and definitely not in early weight loss stages.

Diet Coke - Poison. It's not food and not healthy even "in moderation". Never touch the stuff.

Cookies - Even less rarely than bread, but once in a blue moon, okay.

In limited quantities, yes, and on special occassions.

bread tends to make me sick, so I don't eat much of it. You can eat it if you choose to. Minimizing consumption of bread, Pasta, etc, is good for a diet, and with a sleeve it will potentially be a slider that fills you up on carbs instead of Protein. You can eat it though, just don't eat a lot of it.

I refused to give up diet coke and I drank it the entire time. I've maintained at goal weight. Diet Coke is bad for you. You should not drink it. Are you able to drink it after the first 2 months of recovery following the sleeve? Yes. Is it any worse for you with a sleeve than without it? No.

I love Cookies. I eat them maybe once every few months, I enjoy them, and then I'm good for awhile. You can eat Cookies all you want- you just won't lose weight quickly and won't maintain if you're still eating junk. Enjoy them once in a while, and then skip them.

The nice thing about the sleeve is that after recovery there is literally nothing you are banned from eating. If you make bad food decisions, you pay for them just like you did before the sleeve. Enjoy a sandwich occassionally, eat a few cookies if you want to, probably don't drink diet coke as much as I do....use your discretion and you will be fine.

Can I ask why do you ask?

[Carole61 2]

I guess I'm feeling a little deprived. I wonder what the future holds.

[LisaLouBop 181]

Awe, I hear you.

It's true, all those you mentioned.....? No.

But you knew that already.

Bread. A little, toasted or it gets stuck for me.

Diet Coke. Gross. I like Coke Zero.

Cookies. Yum. I eat them occasionally but I don't make a habit of it.

[wannaBthinsoon 1,634]

No to all of the above

[jess9395 5,450]

Carbonation hurts my stomach so no on that.

bread very occasionally but it sits like a lump in my stomach.

Now that I am at goal I confess I have a cookie a couple times a month. Sometimes once a week even! I run a lot so I can eat more than some.

Same. I have just recently started having a Coke Zero every once in a while. Doesn't hurt anymore. I don't know if that's a good thing....

I like a piece of 60 calorie Daves Killer 21 grain bread toasted with an egg or low fat Peanut Butter. Not toasted it sits like a rock.

Cookies are rare. I'm a glutton with some of them, and I can't stop at just one sometimes. Plus I'll crave MORE!
