I am 6 weeks post-op. doing well. Feel great. Lost 28 lbs so far. Can't eat most everything. Still have not tried Pasta, rice or bread. Or steak. Dying for a slice of cake. Thought I would share.

I have heard of people trying the item that they are craving. And once they try them they can only take a bite or two. The Dr told my husband that it was okay to have "one" cookie every now and then. Just think before the surgery it was 6-8 Cookies. Good luck.

I broke down and ate an Andre's thin mint today. It was heavenly and I savored it in tiny little pieces! Been craving pumpkin pie lately.

Hi there, I love cake too. My compromise was getting a cake pop from Starbucks. I had 2 slow bites and then was so full that I threw the rest out. They are only about 180 calories. It's not in any way nutritious, of course, but it will certainly fix your craving and keep you from having that depressing feeling that you're being deprived of something you want.

Oh girl, I always want cake. I'm too afraid to have any because then I'll just want MORE cake. I always always want cake. On my death bed I'm sure I will be craving cake.

Sigh.

And after the surgery it can still be 6 or 8 cookies..

I ordered a variety pack of the ENS Vitamin Protein mixes from the Celebrate bariatric vitamin website. I got 3 flavors - chocolate, strawberry & vanilla cake batter. I am not partial to the cake batter because it's just soooo sweet but it does smell & taste just like cake batter would. Maybe having something like that around would help the cake cravings? I am still in the protein liquid stage (2 weeks post surgery) and I am sick to death of sweet. I hope I never crave cake again. I have been craving mushrooms, spinach, asparagus and I watched my daughter eat an Olive Garden salad and almost drooled from the urge to chew it with her. I can't wait for solids!

GNC has an AMAZING pumpkin spice total lean Protein shake right now! Soooo yummy.

I had Syntrax Peanut Butter cookie shake with a half tbsp of Peanut Butter in it last night. Tastes just like nutter butter Cookies.

Syntrax vanilla bean torte tastes like melted ice cream.

Syntrax mint chocolate cookie tastes like a mint ice cream

That's how I get my jollies these days.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
