Vsginnj- what have to realize is to each his own- if he/ she is ok with eating TWO ice cream sandwiches - then that's his/her life- this is not your battle or concern - just take care of yourself. And please don't let these ppl upset you... I just look at it n be like Wow... Really? Then move on!

Actually you said you had two which took two hours to drink which would still leave their effects in your system. Though you of course didn't know that because they were your first drink since being sleeved.
Btw, bellinis are made from wine. At cheap drive through shops, very cheap wine (sparkling wine or champagne). At three weeks drinking carbonation is foolish at best, but when it comes to testing your ability, testing it with a liquor which goes to your head naturally faster than other types of wine compounds your mistakes. You can not request a lower alchaol Bellini. They are pure sparkling wine over a little fruit juice, typically peach. Saying you had a light Bellini is like saying you had a light martini. It's kinda like being sorta pregnant.
When you attempt to argue your drink of choice my dear...know what the hell you are drinking.
And yes to be clear I am judging you and it's coming out badly. You sound just like the gal who killed my friend. You aren't drinking responsibly. You're just lucky.

My second week out of surgery I was suffering so bad from head hunger and carb withdrawal. I licked the seasoning off 5 sun dried Tomato basil wheat thins but didn't eat the crackers. My God that was so good at the time, and it satisfied my cravings.
Best part was my dog got to eat the licked crackers. She was thrilled to get such a treat. She did a little labrador happy dance. I probably did that 2 or 3 different days until I started on soft foods. By then my cravings were gone.

Nah, I'm with LT on this. If I could have just said no, I am never eating certain foods again, then I wouldn't have needed this surgery. I could have and should have been able to do it on willpower if that were the case. I am a foodie, I thoroughly enjoy food. I did so to an excess. I got the sleeve so I can continue to enjoy the foods I like, but in moderation. I have not and will not give up anything, sorry. The majority of the time, I try to make healthy choices, but if I want something, I eat it. My sleeve prevents me from overdoing it like I did in the past and I love it.
So, yeah, I am one of those everything in moderation kind of gals.

Really LT? this is kinda harsh. Just giving my opinion and that's what this site is for. We are not BULLIES as you imply. We just choose not to eat the stuff that got us fat to begin with. Some people can't do moderation and some can. No big deal. Not angry or offended just saying I choose not to eat or drink foods that are loaded with calories.

Absolutely AMAZING!!

You didn't ask for advice, but since I'm a suck a pain ... The cooking confession got to me because I feel guilty about it.
1. I don't cook as much anymore either. Most nights everyone just fixes what they want. There are always leftovers. I cook a large amount of meat and a couple casseroles and that seems to work to feed us. Mind you, I don't have young children.
2. I eat pretty well. The quality of my food has improved so much. I had 2 or 3 baby back ribs a couple bites of sweet potato and a bite of a fried green Tomato. Not to shabby. I don't miss food in great quantity. I don't want it.
3. I still go to happy hour or out to eat. I just eat what I am able to and make smart choices. Now it's mostly about the company and conversation.
4. Have an appetizer party where everyone brings their favorite tidbits. Mix a birthday with your favorite activity such as dancing, swimming, camping, kayaking or shopping LOL!
5. Confidence is awesome. Vanity not so much

I myself am afraid to cheat! I feel if I cheat I might not be able to control myself and I might over endulge! So I stick with SF popsicles or fudgesicles! Don't get me wrong I've wanted to eat chips, those were a big down fall for me. I've always been a salty more then sweet! But lately it's been harder and harder to stay away from those foods you know you shouldn't eat, like potatoe chips, brownies, birthday cake! But so far I have managed I keep reminding myself why I did this and what my goal is!

Two ice cream sandwiches??!? I cAnt believe ur sleeve didnt protest! I'm so Afraid I would relapse if I ate goodies like that- I'm a cake person n I'm scared to eat a teaspoon of it!

Sex is so much fun. My husband can't keep his hands off of me. I lost 30 pounds in about 4weeks thats alot a weight to him. I told him wait till I drop another 30

My husband and I always has a good sex life (he's tall and thin) but after 26 years together our sex life is soooooooooo much more fun!!! We not only have more sex, better sex but we talk about it and laugh about it so much more now. No longer is the 800 lb Gorilla in the room.....my weight when it came to sex bothered him but he just didn't know how to tell me, until one day he just had a melt down....that was the beginning of my journey to surgery. I think that heavy partners often don't realize just how it affects their thinner partners....but you find out once you lose.....plus it's so much fun wearing beautiful underwear now! We both love it!
Have fun everyone!

Yet another reason why i am having this surgery...Can't wait to show my husband what i can really do to him...LOL
