I'm not a rule follower and thank the heavens above that after 4 weeks my nut said i can try anything in moderation. Just to make sure i get my Protein in and try to keep it low carb. If you give me a set of rules...i'll break them! Which is why diets ALWAYS failed me.

I ate pizza a few times and got really bad hypoglycemia or dumping... they have the same symptoms. I have very slow weightloss and I'm sure it's due to cheating. This week though I have really stuck to my diet and gained 3lbs.

I am 5 1/2 months out and have had pizza multiple times (just one piece) and I have had taco bell multiple times. I haven't tried any sweets or sugar but eat pretty normal just in moderation. I make sure to stay at 1000 calories and 60-80 grams of Protein. I have lost 95 pounds as of this morning :-)

My doc said if you restrict everything for the rest of your life you will lose your mind. Eat things in moderation.

I have lost 117lbs and eat what ever I want.

I eat 4-6 oz. of whatever i want for my main meal. I snack on cheese sticks and crackers or whatevers in the house during the day. I'm going to start drinking my Protein Shake at night to help with hunger. I'm a night owl and find that i really get the munchies after 12 am. I'm a very slow loser also and I know it's because of food choices. I'm too set in my ways to start chewing on a celery stick. Totally not my thing..LOL I'm OK with losing slow as long as i lose something. It's not a marathon race for me anymore. I increased my calorie intake to 875. In a few weeks i'm hoping to get to 1000. My surgery date was April 22 and lost 22.5 lbs....50 something more to go till i hit my goal weight.

I'm keeping it real. When I say I eat healthy I actually try. I'm able to eat what I want in moderation but I chose not to eat whatever I want.

I do eat rice but I'm cutting down. I say I don't eat bread but I eat Tomato mazerella from Starbucks that's bread a different kind but its bread. So that I try to avoid it yes. Soda I crave it during my period but after its over I don't want it & if I have it I vomit. I had occasional pizza & fiesta steak salad from Taco Bell,

I have eaten everything I've wanted... Tried a lot of new healthy foods I never thought I would try. But time to time I've had me a "bad" food. I live in SA texas. We got some kick a$$ Mexican food :-) but with every thing it's in moderation. A few times I've gotten the chip bug in me. But in over a year I have lost 145 pounds. And just the last month I joined a gym. Before that the only working out I did was walking.

My nut Dr.,and shrink pretty much concur on this one.while I'm too early to eat much contraband, they all agree it's not realistic to deny yourself everything for the rest of your life. I don't think it's realistic either, but like everyone has said...moderation.

      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!!
