Okay, I am in my 11th week and down 40 pounds with 15 to go to get at my revised goal of 180.

I am at point of slowing down and still making goal somewhere between week 20 and 24.

So, to moderate loss to a comfortable level, like to snack on Peanut Butter and a few saltines or an occasional ice cream cone.

I know from reading this board I am not alone.

So what is your cheat food?

It is so funny how different everyone is! I still can not handle potatoes, rice, white bread or any fried food. Those are good things to not be able to eat I guess. The problem is I eat Ice cream at least 3 times a week. Just a little but enough to make me happy!

Yeah, bread for me sits very heavy. I have tried it twice now and still doesn't feel great. I just don't eat it and really don't miss it !

Cheese - always one of my favorites

Dark Chocolate - which I HATED pre-sleeve

NikiJ - I'm having 1/2 a whole wheat English muffin for dinner. Do far its working!

Okay for some encouragement and fear of losing it - I went on vacation this last weekend to San Diego.

Friday night - Benihana's - drank the Soup broth, then the salad, maybe a tablespoon of rice then the shrimp, vegetables and some main entree of steak. Those who know this restaurant it takes time between courses and with soup liquid first that just went through me to leave room for the good stuff.

Saturday night - Ruth's Chris - half a salad, one small lobster tail and 2 jumbo shrimp, a couple of bites of chocolate cake.

In between there was popcorn at the movies, ice cream cone (should have had it in a cup instead of cone).

With walking around the sites - I gained zero pounds and enjoyed the weekend.

There is life after the sleeve, don't fear slide foods - just don't make them a habit or overdo amount at any one time.

By the way at this point of 11 weeks, I lost 54% of the excess weight (the amount I should have lost in a year) so I am now losing through proper eating and exercise not the sleeve.

That's exactly my problem!!! I threw up a scrambled egg but PB cups go right down just fine. Not good!

Today I cut up a pear and had few slices with some cheddar cheese. Thankfully that sat well with the sleeve.

Does anyone else have no appetite in the morning? I can't stomach anything until about 11 am and then I eat a little bit every couple hours until about 5 or 6. Then I'm done for the day. Very weird!

I am glad to know that i am not the only one that can not eat untill about 10 or 11am. After all the vit and meds in the morning i just can seem to get any thing else down. But i dont eat again until 3 and then again about 7 and am done for the night. I am 18 days post op down 31 lbs and am struggling with my protien. I cant seem to drink the shakes they make me sick but i can do some mashed Beans very funny,.. IDK

Popcorn is my biggest problem! I can eat lots of it and so when I am stressed I find myself eating it. I now have to limit myself to the 100 calorie bags.
