Now I just inadvertently have a half pack of Hobnobs and a Crunchie bar here with me.

Pre-WLS me brought back an entire WHSmith bag of Cadbury's - and the only reason it wasn't 100% Crunchie-based is because of dental work. I never got hooked on Hob Nobs but definitely on chocolate-covered digestives. It's a good thing I'm unclear of the legality of imported clotted cream.

I probably shouldn't have read these posts of all the things I shouldn't eat but might be able to still eat since I'm post surgery. 😂😂😂

I went camping a few days before my surgery and I ate like ten hotdogs, a bag of chips and so many Cookies. I also ate some chips and watermelon like a week after surgery... duuumb lol. Don’t be like me though if you are about to have surgery

Is getting the shakes part of dumping? I ate some ice cream (Yeah, I know) and now my hands are shaking so badly it's hard to type

I make myself throw up because I still can’t control myself. I’ll be full but I’ll take one or two more bites because I hate wasting and then I’m too full it’s uncomfortable. Then I get scared I’ll stretch my tummy out, so I make myself puke. I puke just enough that I’m not overly full. Sometimes I’ll ask keep eating but spit it out instead of swallowing. I’m still early and on purée. I hope I can get this under control soon. I feel bad after and just stick to liquids for the rest of the day. Not a healthy cycle so far.

Maybe it’s from the sugar rush?

I caved and am enjoying my first post-surgery cup of coffee. I put a scoop of Protein Powder and some 1% milk in it to try to make it more diet friendly.

But the good news is I didn’t have one of the Cookies that was staring me down as I made my coffee. I stuck the package of cookies on a tall shelf instead!

Maybe, my insides haven't seen much sugar in the last 6 months.

Hey, great topic! I’m 18 days post op, and I haven’t cheated once.
Also not doing the two weeks shake diet.

I’m done with junk food. I’m a food addict.
If I start taking one bite, it’s not gonna stop. It’s gonna get out of hand. So I made a promise before the surgery and actually today, to never ever ever eat junk food or drink sodas. It’s really over for me.

Gastric bypass surgery was my last ditch effort , I can’t afford loosing grip of myself again. The horrible feeling being stuck in a fat body , with no social interaction, feeling ugly everyday and heavy is not worth it.

All I can say is , i hope I can keep my promise to myself.

Bless 🙏🏻

I drank beer and soda up until 3 days pre-op. I also got myself out of an event I didn't want to go to using the "I'm on the pre-op diet" excuse while I was sitting at home drinking beer. bahaha, sorry I had to laugh at myself for that one.

Seven days post op I got my cycle. The cravings were worse than they had ever been. I took a plain Hershey bar and broke it up and put one piece in my mouth at a time and sucked on it until it was melted liquid. Pure heaven.

I've tried to drink regular coke since surgery but it tastes funny...it almost has a black licorice taste to it, which I hate. I think the Universe knew I wouldn't be able to stay away from it so now it tastes tainted. lol!

1 month Surgiversary today and my sons 30th bday. Down 28lbs! Today I cheated, I had 2 slices of thin crust pizza but didn't eat the stuffed crust and said no to the sinful cheesecake. That plus my scrambled eggs for Breakfast, 1/2 a lemon Protein Bar and SF pudding cup is what I've had today. Stuffed and paying for it. Back on my grind tomorrow!

The coffee with Protein powder concoction was pure trash. Only drank half of it. Going to have to find better tasting powder before I do that again.

highly recommend a ready to drink shake for this type of thing, premier or pure Protein, etc
