I have had at least three slip ups twice I had about three cheetos and once I had a bite of fun sized snickers. I'm only 4 weeks 1 day post op and am down 26 pd since surgery. I realized the slip ups defeat the purpose for me because it's unhealthy but, it's life. All addicts have potential to regress (I'm convinced I was food addict).

So far you have had two "slip ups"; hard candies and now the marshmallows. You admitted to eating fast and larger volumes than just about any 5 week post op patient in another thread. Even though you are still losing in the honeymoon phase, this does not bode well for you. You need to get this under control before you cause yourself serious harm.

This is the time when it is easiest to establish new habits. Don't squander it on something as trivial as hard candies and peeps.

I never said I ate large volumes or fast. Wrong person buddy. I can't eat much at all. A few teaspoons of tuna and I'm full.

My nutritionist has said over and over that I'll be learning Portion Control through my sleeve. When I spoke to get about the peeps she said as long as you are eating healthy 98% of the time a little piece of cake on my birthday or a piece of candy once in a while is not bad.

I eat up to 8 ounces of food at a time with no problem and I eat kind of fast. Is this normal?

Don't get me wrong @jfcajr, it does not affect me at all what you do. I am only pointing out what could be a recurring issue to help you identify a problem before it starts.

Good luck.

      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.
