Unfortunately,I have tried these already. This is my poison, the guilt that I had felt was not even worth it. This what made me fat in the first place and I cant believe I tried it again. It went down easily. Im 5 weeks out. I will be putting them out of sight . only reason why I have it in the house is so the kids can take it to school. Its all the baked stuff and I have the air popped popcorn without butter. Its still my poison. Im so mad that this still weakens me and takes over.

At 3 weeks, I had tried ice cream, peanuts, and sunflower seeds. My stomach kinda grumbled over the tablespoon of ice cream, but no problems with peanuts or sunflower seeds. I haven't tried any of the others.

Hey RX - you've lasted 6 weeks without all those empty snack foods - don't give them that much power! The old you is the poison, and that was left in the O.R.

Stay strong and try to dig deep to find within yourself why you would even consider introducing these things into your diet (especially as a new sleever). You can do it!

I eat a hand full of almonds or nuts daily and they are fine. I was able to eat them starting at 6 weeks. The chips and ice cream not my favorite so I haven't tried them yet and I can't stand popcorn.< /p>

I have had a few not ff ice cream that's just nasty. I had half of what the serving size was. I marked it down on my fitness pal and gave myself 15 more mins on the electrical :). I'm not on a diet I have a permanent Portion Control device now my sleeve. I have to live the rest my life like a normal human. If I want some chips I eat some chips. I did not till I was ok by my nut to do so. But if I eat some junk I work off that junk ;) just like any other normal woman :)

Let me add had chips 3/4 times. popcorn air poped 1/2 times. And nuts are ok for me anytime after I was 3 months out so I have had them maybe 6 times. I'm 5 months out.

My coworker has opened my eyes to a new way to crunch!!! She brought these little Persian cucumbers to work (I bought a big back at costco for $4! Or you can get them at Trader Joes) . You can slice them into spears and use them to pick up dip instead of using chips. Has all the crunch you need and it's a vegetable!!! I admit I had a week of eating tortilla chips and have since weaned off and am all about Persian cucumbers!!!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
