Just wondering after my weight loss period can I eat cake on my wedding day? Can I have ice cream every once in a while? Do any of you guys go out to eat? What does alcohol do to you?

You can have anything in moderation if that is what works best for you. I am still losing (close to goal).and have cake occasionally - a very small slice for birthdays weddings etc. Same goes for ice-cream but its easy to eat a lot of so its a trap ... I go out to eat frequently and I usually just order an entree or appetiser or a Soup that is mainly Protein. Waste of money though as I never even finish half. I like to order platters with my partner that we both share so people who dont know I have had surgery dont pick up on the fact I have eaten next to nothing. And alcohol is different for everyone but for me its the same as before except I sober up quicker and the hangovers are terrible! I drink a lot less these days but when I do I like to go a bit crazy.

I find that I can eat anything in TINY bites. I had half a slice of ice cream cake when my daughter turned 18. I found that cake and ice cream go down so easily that I have to make a conscious decision to only have a little. I do go out to restaurants. Sometimes I just order an appetizer for my meal and still have leftovers. As for alcohol, I have no clue since I'm not a drinker. I never really acquired a taste for alcohol. Just remember, everything in moderation.

I've been in maintenance for a year. I love my treats and I do drink now. I can eat pretty much anything. I have to limit it to stay in my weight range.

I cannot tolerate as much alcohol as I drank before. My limit is two drinks. And I drink 1-2 times per week.

For example, this week I had a glass of wine on Saturday. I am going out today and will have two cocktails before dinner. For treats this week, I have had a 1/2 cup ice cream twice, a couple of mini candy bars, 1 T. Peanut Butter on a graham cracker, and a couple of blueberry muffins. Generally, I have one small treat a day.

I believe my sleeve is a tool to keep me from overeating to excess like I did pre-surgery. I want to eat like a "normal" person . . . and most "normal" people I know enjoy treats in moderation - alcohol, sweets, crunchy salty Snacks, etc. Today I ate a healthy lunch, and then stopped by a pitch-in some of the girls from work had and had a couple bites of a brownie and half a chocolate chip cookie. Before my surgery, I would have eaten a huge lunch, and then hit the entire pitch-in buffet and filled a plate or two.

I do know that there will always be red-light foods for me (salt & vinegar potato chips, movie theater popcorn) but if I find myself craving one of those things, I get the smallest portion available.

Can anyone share how much weight they lost? It sounds like everyone has it under control

I am 2 Years out and have lost 144lbs but need 50 more. I have to get back on track. I haven't lost or gain any weight yet. But I eat whatever I want. But I can still only eat small Portions.
