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

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
