I crave chocolate now and then so I have pure Protein chocolate deluxe bars I have for a meal!! Hahah yummmmm I am currently awaiting some frollicks to come!! They will be my chip substitute! They don't sell them here in NY so I had to have a friend in Colorado get them for me and send them!! I found them online.. Frollicks.com

Everyone has a craving sometime. It might be for pizza, ice cream, tacos, Pasta, or any of the other foods that you used to eat – or overeat – before weight loss surgery. What do you do when a craving hits?
Wait until it passes, even if it’s a few days. Wait a day, and then give in if the craving is still there. Make a healthy substitute, such as sugar-free hot chocolate instead of brownies or light popcorn as a salty, crunchy substitute for potato chips.< /li> Have a bit or two of the real thing, since that is the only thing that will satisfy you. Give in. Enjoy your treat, and worry about the consequences tomorrow. Choose your answer, and explain it in the conversation below. Share your tips for dealing with cravings, and include any recipe swaps that you use to deal with your cravings in a healthy way!

I told everyone.
But the comments I get the most this last week make me sad .... You look great. Looks like it's working. Keep at it because I know too many people who had the surgery and just gained it all back.
Frustrating.
So yesterday I got pissed off at someone who is way bigger than me when she said it. And well here was my responses
So what surgery did they have ? I'm not sure
What did you see them do that caused this gains ? Well they ate very little like you but when they went back to normal eating they started regaining
What so you mean normal eating? So like when will you eat normal again?
Normal? What's normAl? Wings, dips, pizzas, etc? Uh yeah. Well like never if I can help it.
This isn't a cure it's a lifestyle change and it sounds like the people you know failed because they didn't remember the prime directive.

I downloaded my fitness pal and make sure I get between 60 to 90 grams of Protein a day by eating a lot of high protein foods like salmon deli meats Greek yogurt... Cheese.. P3.. Egg whites.. Pure protein bars.. I rarely eat too many carbs and try to stick to good carbs...veggies a small amount.. Some fruit like watermelon or cantaloupe. I have not had any Gerd or reflux. I measure everything!! 3/4 cup or 6oz is all I can fit! I am shedding a lot as well I hear at around 6 months it starts to come back but not sure.. I feel ok when I get up.. But I have a routine in the morning and I don't feel any different than before surgery.. Haha never have been a morning person!! I was sleeved 4/23 SW 270 OW 250 CW 203 Stalled now for a week... Tasting ONEderland!! Hahaha Get your protein in!!! It's important!!

I'm 4/23 too... I'm down a total of 67.. 20 pre op 47 post op. I'm loving wearing a bathing suit with no back fat! Hahaha everyone in the free world knew I was having the surgery so no surprises there.. Loving the compliments!!! 4 pounds to ONEderland and of course I am on a stall!! I go to docs on the 28th and hoping to be there!! I have my sons wedding in October and would love to reach my 100 pound goal by then!!! I have had so much support!! I try to get to the gym as much as I can but only do cardio (treadmill) right now, probably will start using the machines soon. I'm glad you are doing well too!! It's so exciting!! I still have a tough time with Water and get foot cramps now and then so I up my potassium! That's about it!! It's great to hear from everyone!! Keep us updated!!!

April 23rd here!! I am on no food restrictions any more! I always pick Protein packed foods though! Had prime rib last night and it was deeeeeliscious!! I couldn't eat a lot but my son finished it for me! Haha I haven't had any issues at all. The only thing I had and am still having problems with is stalls!! I can only get between 600 and 800 calories in following the docs orders of three meals a day and one afternoon snack. Hate the stalls!!! They drive me nuts!! Keep thinking I need to do something different!! But nothing works so I just keep plugging along and not weighing myself so much!! Hope everyone is doing well!!! It would be great to hear from everyone!!!

I guess I am one of the lucky ones! Everyone I know has been supportive and think It's great! If anyone has said any of those things I don't remember it. haha Although I do tend to ignore anything negative cause all I care about I That feel awesome and I can run up a flight of stairs without passing out! Hahahaha
