One cookie and one bag of chips once in a blue moon is ok...that's what people do...but you have to keep it in check...like no more than once a month or something like that. I had a cookie Sunday..one smallish cookie...not the whole batch.

Anticipation was worse than actual surgery for me......I had lots of work done besides sleeve...I had two hernias repaired and a bunch of adhesions removed from a very old surgery.....and all done laparoscopic with 7 incisions. You are going to great! And keep us posted

I love to measure out two tablespoons and eat it with a tiny spoon in the evening as a snack. At only 45 calories and 5g p it's a great year with no guilt. I love it also in a banana smoothie

Certain foods over little restriction......practice protein first. I get full quickly when doing this. I have seen some members post salad is a slider good for them.

Yes..if you drop the calories too much will lead to trouble. Sometimes I up them for a day and somehow it kicks in a drop. Increase exercise!
-
I weigh my food ...I like knowing how much I am eating...I feel more in control I guess.

so glad this is the past. what a trauma you and your child have suffered through. wishing you happiness!
