Carbs - cakes, muffins, Cookies. Once I started on those foods I couldnt stop. The sugar rush was addictive.

I've discovered since banding that if I dont eat them I can avoid them quite easily. But if I were going to break out those are still the foods I'd head to.

But overall I was a healthy eater, just too big an eater. So I dont have a ton of problem foods I need to avoid or that I think about all the time.

Pre-banding: Cereal! I would eat 3 big bowls of it at a time. Ice cream. Diet Cokes

Post-banding: I never eat Cereal. I still eat ice cream. This is weird, but I pig out on Zone Perfect bars...that means I eat two instead of one, but only sometimes. I figure it cures the chocolate craving, and at least I get a lot of Protein. How's that for a rationalization? LOL! I like pita chips and hummas...why do all the "empty" foods go down so easy?

Dee Dee, chips and dip for me are like krypton for Superman. My mouth is watering just talking about'em.

mousecrazy, I *thought* I was the only one that gorged on cerel in pre-banding days. I was going to put that on my original reply, but thought others wouldnt understand.... *sigh* thank God I cant do that anymore.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
