OK, confessions of a 9 week Post-Sleever:

1. I can eat more than I could a month ago.

2. Nothing to date has made me feel sick.

3. I'm so pleased with my progress to date, that I'm getting mentally lazy.

4. I record my food intake on MyFitnessPal most accurately on days when I am *perfect*.

5. I simply do NOT know what to do with myself when I go to the movies. No snacking??? Just watching the movie??? Ummm....

So this weekend, these 5 things all came together and almost shoved me right off that old wagon! My daughter and I went to see The Muppet Movie and she got a big old box of Whoppers. So, I decided I could "get away" with a few. After all, I've been so good, been making such progress, biked an hour on Saturday and nothing has bothered me (see excuse list above). So I had a few of those delicious malted, melt-in-your-mouth Snacks. And then a few more. And then just a few more. How many did I actually have? I don't know - it was dark and I was watching the movie!!

And then - my Sleeve worked!! I got hot, trapped in my own body, nauseous, dizzy, not sure what was happening, etc. We had to get up and leave the movie because I thought I was going to pass out. I drove us home, went to bed and climbed firmly back up on the wagon.

A moment like this is living proof that the surgery performed was on the body and not the mind and I have so far to go with getting the mind to function on the same wave length as the Sleeve.

I bring a chocolate chip protein bar to the movies--- just like candy.

@@Mrs.RRn - do you have a particular brand that you use/like? I haven't done any bars yet - maybe it's time.

Quest bars are my favorite. I use them as a meal replacement. They have lots of flavors.

Oh, I hear you! I had a similar de-railing where I had fried chicken and a Cadbury creme egg. Felt like crap the whole night. Interesting how our sleeves talk to us now! Glad your back on track!

Be well…

Try Quest bars if you haven't. I love them, I'm probably addicted. As stated above I too use as a meal replacement. ( usually Breakfast as that is the hardest meal for me to get in daily) They do have lots of flavors. I have tried all and only a couple I really don't care for. I purchase mine at GNC where they are priced buy 3 get 1 free. Comes out cheaper than anything I have found online, plus I can mix and match what flavors I want!

Quest bars are the best! Peanut butter and jelly has to be my ultimate favorite I feel like in enjoying my favorite sandwich and don't feel the guilt- plus with 20 grams of protein you can't go wrong! Also check out their blog/Pinterest for great recipes to make with the quest bars omg so good!

Too funny...The little muscle boy working at GNC asked me if PB&J was my favorite ( I had three in my selection) and it is! He said they were his favorite too. It is crazy just how much they do taste like the old PB&J sandwiches!!!
