okay so this is my second day where I have been craving raw celery....I eat it slowly and I am enjoying the flavor like no other thing in the world...It tastes so good to me right now and I am eating it even though I thought there was no nutritional value to it..

I am a strong believer that if you crave something then there is something in it that you need....

CELERY is my craving right now..raw....

I did some research because I know that some on here think that it is a waste of time to eat celery...But get a load of what this site says about consuming it...

I must be lacking something somewhere in this site to be wanting it so badly!!! 2 nights in a row it has been my nightly snack..yum!!!!!!!

True, but most sleevers or WLS patients try to get the most bang for their bucks when they eat...Only so much room you know....

So they forgo celery and lettuce and other veggies...

Only say this because I believe that there is room for almost everything in this program....not just Protein but everything in moderation......It is up to us to learn to control and make good choices.....We need to reteach our brains how to eat to live not live to eat......you know!

I don't think there is moderation in cake though...So I do try to stay away....lol

I make myself little chicken casserole pots and use heaps of celery to flavour it. Don't necessarily eat a lot if it but it makes the chicken really tasty. :-)

I agree. I see lots of people say there isn't much room. And maybe there isn't starting out, but I know my program states Water, Protein, dairy, vegetables, fruit, grains, oils/fats in that order. Looking forward to trying some mashed up green Beans next week when I'm on my soft food...I'll for sure be trying a small amount of vegetables because I was used to eating them before the sleeve and my NUT is for all the healthy stuff too. I still be doing shakes for Snacks to hit my 80g of protein though.

Would appear to me that almost any Fiber can cause this condition....i think I may peel the strings off from now on but if we were to be frightened of this condition...We wouldn't eat any veggies or fruit at all...Nah! I think there has to be predisposed situations for this to happen....I appreciate the information though...It is like everything else in life...1 positive...15 negatives...1 negative...15 positives..We decide what is right for us on those.....

Thanks for the warning!!!!!

      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!!
