I tried some M&M's, I had about 5 when my sweet tooth woke up. Nothing happened (dumping) etc.

I don't want or want anyone experiencing dumping so I'm suggesting sugarfree chocolate. If you are doing fine with regular chocolate that's cool but we don't want to fall back on old habits & gain weight.

Hi everyone! I am new here and 8 years out since my RNY.....I am doing very well and after my Honeymoon period my body felt more comfortable to gain back 20 of the 130 lbs which my Dr. Said is perfectly normal. Ok, so that's me in a nutshell. What I want to tell all of you is........DO NOT TEST THE WATERS! You may think that since you tried the M & M's and did not dump you are safe. WRONG! The more you test the more you want.....take it from me I AM NOW A SUGARHOLIC! Just this week I BEGGED my Dr to put me on a strict sugar free diet. Since Wednesday I have lost 4 lbs. I am determined to get to my original goal weight of 155.

What I forgot to mention is......if you are craving sweets have a Protein bar.....if you are craving salt have some cashews!

Your right! Do you think sugar free is ok to have during your period? I'm not a sweet or chocolate fan but during Tom I do eat a (not several) sugar free dove chocolate & it makes me feel better. chips is no good but can't have cashew(dealing with keeping food down still vomiting will have 1 mth tomorrow)

I would suggest staying away from

Sugar free! Although youth think its " sugar fee " itore than likely is loaded with sugar alcohol. sugar free candy makes me dump believe it or not so I make sure I stay away from that stuff. Try not to start on the chocolate or chips again! I now on a carb free, sugar free diet to break my sugar addiction. My goal is 20 lbs by the end of the summer. I keep telling myself that every 5 lbs is a bag of sugar (lol how ironic)

Tberry thank you for sharing those words of wisdom. I was just making a similar point in a different thread. I will take your experience and use it to my advantage. I'm always trying to build upon and grow from hearing others stories and this was one a lot of us needed to hear.

Also good luck with breaking your sugar jones...

      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!!
