Please forgive me for asking so many questions but i want to get them all out the way as they come to mind.

My favorite food is Cereal and pizza. When were you guys ever able to eat these if ever. I dont need huge amounts as i only eat a slice or two now and a bowl now but just the taste is what i love.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got. My thoughts, Cereal, bread, crackers, pizza, Cookies, cake, have no place in my home, 3 years since surgery. If it were here, I might slip. No, I would slip. After the sleeve you really can eat all the cereal you want, you can eat pizza every day of the week. You can eat it and never lose weight. I dearly love homemade biscuits, gravy, and chicken and dumplings like my Mother taught me. I really miss them but I could not wear my new clothes if I eat them. It is a choice. Make sure you are ready to change your life. Good luck girl!

I haven't had Cereal since before surgery. I do eat oatmeal pretty frequently. I just make sure I add Protein to it.

I have had pizza a handful of times since surgery (over a year and a half). It just doesn't do it for me like it did pre-op. It smells better than it tastes. If I eat it at all, I prefer that it be really good pizza (not any of the chain stuff) and I focus on the toppings. Personally, if I am eating at an Italian restaurant I would rather have meatballs.

I am going to find alternatives for pizza - zucchini pizza, eggplant pizza, etc. I haven't had cereal in a while but won't be having it postop either.

Thats just my two fav foods on the planet but not that i need them in abundance or all the time. I can substitute them for healthier meals or Snacks i was just wondering what others thought

One thing I enjoy is good meatballs, like Aidells. I buy some great Marinara sauce, expensive but good ingredients, no preservatives, and three baked meatballs with two Tbsp. MArinara makes me feel like I had an Italian meal.

pizza is a big one for me..I've modified my taste and make a low carb pizza since I'm doing low carb right now before surgery. I hope to have it on occasion after surgery as well, but they do drill it into you about lean Protein first then veggies..none of which is pizza..so I think a treat on rare occasion should be fine.
