I say Go for it..... at that time after surgery your probably going to sleep it off what better way to avoid temptation if you didnt have the surgery...... and freshly out of surgery your not going to want to eat I assure you.. maybe a sip of protein/water, a couple bites of Jello half of a sugar free popsicle and your done and back to bed !

hey NPRCOWBOY I lost 12 lbs prior to my liquid diet so really I didnt adhere to the diet itself my NUT stated that prior to surgery they are looking for a 10-15 lb loss. So to be honest I didnt go Super Hog wild ( no pun intended) but I really enjoyed myself prior to surgery..... hope this helps dont stress yourself out with it..... indugle I assure you when you have surgery you arent really going to want the junk just yet. my surgeons team did let me know that surgery wouldnt be cancelled even if the weight wasnt lost they just didnt want to see a drastic increase. Remeber This is a Cash/Money Business and your a patron of it so they wouldnt want to loose your business from that perspective. However try to curb now b/c head hunger is a real thing it came to me about 2weeks out and it scared me alittle. SW: 277 Date of Surg: 262 sleeved on 9/17/2014 Current Weight: 239 ! This too shall pass I say carefully cheat if that makes sense !?!

Hey All I close to the 6 week post op mark (6 weeks on 10/31) I find myself Stuggling with the same thing I love pintrest and never thought of looking up receipes for GVS i am excted to hear that! My thing is i dont properly plan for my work day.... I need to go grocery shopping and really portion out some snacks and meals I barely eat during the day... One meal a day sort of thing.... I try to finish One protein shake and thats a struggle, as the desire to drink anything isnt there. somedays depending on my physically activites i dying of thirst and cant get my crystal lite down quick enough,.... and like most days here at work I can barely drink. I weighed in this morning and after a stall of about 2 weeks Im down to 231.9 starting weight was 277.4 . so im doing something right. I also agree eating jumk is so mental. and if you cheat tell yourself I can turn this around and dont cheat forawhile make up for the cheating. or give yourself a good workout. try to read or catch a good movie to get yourself off wanting bad yummies (LOL OXY-MORON right There) lol but there are great alternatives for the bad stuff.... Im still on sugar free sweets (pudding and popsicles, diet snapple and any flavor sugar pkts to add to water) which really curb my sweet tooth.... but overall your doing great and I really dont think anyone really expected the unexpected ! in the sense of what we used to eat to now curbing everything is very hard. so you made it this far. and all of this will pass.... Good Luck all we are doing so Good, even with the little slip-ups. cause I know I have them too xoxoxo -Perfectly Flawed gigi

Hey all SEPTEMBER SLEEVERS !!!!! Im 28/F Sleeved on 9/17 in chicago Tomorrow will be my 1 month Surgiversary ! Im excited so Far I am able to intake far more liquids then I can eat. so far about 1 11 oz Protein shake my choice is the atkins mocha latte ( doing the atkins diet BTW) Im on The Soft foods phase trying a new thing at a time due to me having horrible dumping syndrome to almost everything. stats: pre-op: 277 Day of Surg: 262 Current wt: 244.8 My weight has currently stalled. or it can move up to 248.3 ish this is the worst part at this step for me I try so hard no to weigh myself daily but im fixated lol... Overall being able to eat a few normal things lunchmeat. cheese , grapes. alittle lettuce has gotten me out of my little post surgery blues that I was feeling. No more pain at all. I have ordered a Corset for waist training as this is very common after having surgery ( I had a c-section in 2008) overall I feel great Im down 2 pants sizes ! only thing I regret with this stall is not taking my measurements and I know my overall body mass has gone down even though the scales says otherwise ! (there is a light at the end of this tunnel ) I am so happy for all of you on here and sharing your stories is so much support! please keep posting on your journeys as I will do so Also !!!!!
