Hey don't worry about it. Stater Bros. had fun size bags of Snickers on sale for 99 cents...who can pass that up? They were good, I got it out of my system, and I still lost 2 lbs this week. So be human and eat some jelly Beans and you'll be done with it. That's why we didn't get the bypass, remember?

That is awesome! Thank you for the support!!

I actually had my fill already!

Prior to the sleeve I would have eaten at least an entire bag before getting sick of them....

Now I think I have had a hand full or so and yep done!!

I love my sleeve!

Shwew! I wondered if that was what you meant. I don't have a sweet tooth, so I am safe. Now if they had vodka martini flavored jelly Beans, then that is another story LOL I may have to go get me an overpriced cup of coffee tomorrow after thinking of Starbucks jelly Beans :sleep0:

The sleeve allows us to live more normally and I am loving it. I went to New Orleans with some of my family on vacation last week and had little tastes of a lot of great food...I was surprised that I could drink a cup of Cafe ole at Cafe Du Monde, and eat two beignets full of powdered sugar...first time I've had a "normal" amount of bread and it was great. A special treat! Now I'm back on my Protein etc. Still losing.

LIFE IS GOOD!

Talk about slip ups, I made some really good Soup and my husband wanted Grandys biscuits so I made them and I tried a couple bites and ended up eating a whole biscuit! I couldn't imagine not suffering with this slip up but it went down so well! Scary.

Okay everyone!! Confession time for me too!

I had a family gathering and my sister brought pretzels and jalepeno cheese dip. Okay for most of you that is no big deal!! But for me, that is my downfall!! I love salty foods. So I of course bought a bag of pretzels and some cheese dip, well I finished the bag in 4 days!! I told my husband NO more!So I'm not allowed to have them in the house, or I will end up gaining all of my weight back.

So that is my confession and I'm back on the wagon!!

All I can think about at the moment is guacamole! I know a little wouldn't hurt, but I'm not sure that a little would be enough! xx

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
