Although it wasn't a great food choice, I think some people need to give her a break. My nutritionist told me that if I want to splurge every now and then, that I just need to make a compromise in doing it. For example, if I want a mocha instead of just regular coffee, walk to the coffee shop to get it rather than drive (it's not that far from me). If we don't feed our cravings once in a while, we are going to drive ourselves nuts with desire for it. Yes, a Big Mac is a lot of food, but she did eat it without the bread, which cuts out a lot of carbs and calories.

Thank you for the kind words but I did have the bread : ( bread is my weakness n a trigger food... I know I have to make better choices... Which on a regular day I do. I have lost about 40 pounds and I go to the gym... I'm not going to stress too much. Just needed to vent...

I'm so confused...my Doc want me to do bypass and I want the sleeve. He said my reflux may get worse with the sleeve. My big weakness is sweets. Maybe I should go with the bypass. I don't think you can eat any of that food with bypass because of dumping!

sexy just curious have u tried all the foods you listed as your topic.... If so how often and do u have any side effects? I have tried to eat bread maybe 3 times and itssss awful. Have a desire for icecream/milkshake but haven't had it since the surgery. Most definitely would like a carbonated beverage but haven't had one since surgery. I am almost 3 months out! I agree you cant totally deprive yourself but u must do it in moderation!!!! I know some ppl will agree or not but we all struggle with something whether its food or not! Best of luck to everyone with their wl:) I am down 2 dress sizes and quickly approaching medium tops

      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!!
