I'm wondering if veterans ( those at least a few months out) that have been able to lose weight as some would consider quickly-- if you do a day that you have whatever u want-- chips, hummus, pizza, etc.......

Reason I'm asking is I have a friend that was sleeved and she is maybe 6 mo out has lost over 100 and eats imo crappy lol fast food many times and chips cake etc---

Today I decided to try it all so to speak--I had an oz of chips and hummus for dinner and a stirfry for lunch and popcorn at the the movies--- this is the 1st time since being sleeved -- 2/25/13

I normally am at 400 or under and things like yogurt cottage cheese cheese eggs etc are my go to!

So I guess in asking..... Is what i did today 'normal/healthy'?

Is this a no no or is it something that is will stall me or be helpful to shock my system like cal/carb cycling... Thank you for finishing my long post lol

Be careful with the popcorn, that's super early be eating popcorn! The kernels and those husks can get caught in your staple line and cause issues! Major issues!

I don't necessarily have a day I commit to eating "bad things" but if I want something bad enuf I will have a bite. Right or wrong? Well I'm sure there are others who won't go there at all. My dr wants me to eat like a skinny person. A skinny person will have a bite of something if they want it. I will say that since surgery I haven't had cake. Not even a little bite. Cake is my gateway food so to speak. It would start me on a bad path of justification and I would only sabotage myself in the end. I mostly eat healthy, bad food is what got me where I am today and I'm really trying to change old habits. But thats not to say I have been to the movies and not had a few bites of popcorn ;) I always track and account for anything that goes in my mouth. IMO you didn't do too bad today and the sleeve only let's you eat very little of anything anyway. Only you can decide for yourself. Is having one day that you eat bad and could return to old habits worth it?

I would be afraid that I would get right back into my old habits. If you want something have a bite, savor it, then go back to your new normal.

My surgeon suggests no popcorn until after 6 mos. out for that reason. He actually had a patient who was further out that he had to go in a get the kernel out. I figure that I will wait. I've waite

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
