I can't do it because I don't believe in not allowing myself anything! If I say I can't have I only want it more! I CHOOSE to not eat some things but I still have treats! One of my favorite is Peanut Butter cups and I had some today (the Adkins brand). If I want chocolate, I have some chocolate or whatever it is I want! I do crave Pasta here and again but I haven't allowed myself to have it YET but I know someday I will! I got the sleeve knowing that I would still be able to eat anything but in moderation now!

Dearly beloved,

We are all here to say Rest In Peace to the salty fred goodness known as McDonald's Fries.

Oh they were good fries. Crispy, crunch, and oh so good.

They are being laid to rest with the Whopper and the Triple Thick shake.

May they never return to this body

For I am now made new and whole

Salt & Vinegar potato chips, our love had only just been discovered a few months ago -- cut short by fate and a scalpel. Alas. Salamis of all kinds, I will miss you -- your fatty lusciousness will not fit in me wee sleevey.

Almost everything else I like, I can still eat -- one square of dark chocolate per day seems to be doing me right. And I was never much of a bread/pasta girl anyhow. :)

I am with Dawn, I am not saying good bye to anything and if you budget for it, you can have whatever you want...

That is one of the reasons why I am getting this surgery to start with, to help me wiht the "moderation" part

Adding a little Humor - What you would you like to say goodbye to? Write an Eulogy to the Cadbury Egg - all in this thread.

I said goodbye to Thin Mints Today.

I big, juicy, STEAK!. I know that I can eat normally with a sleeve but steak taste best right after it is cooked. I don't eat it all the time but when I do--I like to savor it and pair it with a baked potato with butter and sour cream! Hmmmmnnn

I hope I can eat a tiny bit after surgery--after tummy heals of course.

...giant salad bars.... no more to fill my gullet..... huge bowls of steaming veggie Soup with croutons...., mounds of eggplant parmesan, and those seven layer slices of diablo cake I used to treat like my lover in front of the TV..... I will settle for a bite here and there, a taste , a nibble.... I will even learn to love you....I will make my stomach a temple, and fill it still... but not with those long gone giants of promise.... Good by ghosts, goodbye and good riddance.

There is no problem for me to eat steak post-surgery. Actually, it has become my new all time favorite (mine is the little plate):

      Factors Affecting the Growth of the Alternative Sweeteners Industry:
      Health Consciousness: The increasing awareness among individuals about the health issues linked to high sugar consumption, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, is supporting the market growth. Consumers are becoming more health-conscious and seeking products that can provide sweetness without the negative health effects associated with sugar. This shift in consumer preferences is leading to a greater demand for low-calorie and natural sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit, and erythritol. These sweeteners offer the added benefit of having minimal impact on blood glucose levels, making them suitable for diabetic and health-conscious individuals.
      Technological Advancements: Innovations in the production and formulation of alternative sweeteners are impelling the market growth. Advancements in biotechnology and food science are leading to the development of high-intensity sweeteners with improved taste profiles and functional properties. Innovations in fermentation processes enhance the production efficiency and quality of natural sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit. These technological improvements are making alternative sweeteners more appealing to both manufacturers and consumers. Enhanced stability, solubility, and sweetness intensity allow these sweeteners to be used in a wide range of products, ranging from beverages to baked goods.
      Consumer Trends and Preferences: Evolving consumer trends and preferences are playing a significant role in driving the alternative sweeteners market. The growing demand for clean-label products, which are healthier and free from artificial ingredients, is offering a favorable market outlook. Consumers are increasingly seeking natural and plant-based sweeteners, aligning with broader trends toward plant-based diets and veganism. Besides this, there is an increase in the demand for low-calorie and sugar-free alternatives that support weight management and overall wellness. Food and beverage companies are responding to these trends by innovating and expanding their product lines to include options sweetened with alternative sweeteners, thereby catering to changing tastes and health concerns of modern consumers.
