I am struggling with sweets and simple carbs right now and I have about 25lbs left to lose too.... I fight with this so much the thinking I am a failure because this fight is still so strong in me! I am going back to basics today and am going to pursue counselling for my emotional eating issues because this is one battle I intend to win!

I am a Christian and my faith influences every aspect of my life! I could not have gone through this process without believing God was withe in it as well as believing that he is helping me find freedom from over eating!

I had left over squash from dinner and used that with Greek yogurt, pumpkin pie torani sweetener and it was awesome

I'm on my fitness pal and I'm kimiwilly on there pls feel free to add me. The app is a great way to track your intake.

I say go enjoy ... Moderation is key ... Just watch your carbs the rest of the day!

I agree with the drinking with a meal once in awhile rule.... As long as it does not become a habit for you I say go and enjoy I would just be careful with the alcohol because of carbs and also if you don't know if you will really be effected by the alcohol...e I really feel it from a couple sips but I'm not a drinker.

Hi newby sleeves... I am 5 months out now and for those of you who are having a probl with protein shakes I suggest premier pre made protein which in Canada is only available at Costco ... I know that you can get it off the premier website but not sure if they deliver in Canada but I also know they are more widely avail in the Us. I can't stand the smell / taste of protein powders (shudder just thinking about them) and I live the choc premier shakes which are by the supplements at Costco... They taste like yummy chocolate milk - a bit thick but I put them in my two cup bottle and fill the rest with water to thin. Yummy ... 30 grams of protein and under 5 carbs!

I eat a lot of Cesar salad / salads and grilled meats since I've been sleeved.... Well 'a lot' meaning sleever sized portions

How about a seafood feast... Shrimp cocktail, scallops n bacon, crab legs, steak and lobster... Pick what you like or BBQ steaks or bacon wrapped chicken breasts with roast veggies and Cesar salad? Dessert have berries, cake and cream or grk yogurt?
