Oh my, there are two things I cave, chocolate and peanut butter! i just made myself an iced coffee mocca. It hit he spot. I know that we can and can't give into cravings, but sometimes we have to do what we have to do!

As for just having one, I am not so sure. Pop tarts are one of those slider foods plus it tastes really good. Could be a trigger food for certain people. However, if none of these hold true, by all means, have a pop tart and relish the sweet toasty goodness. :)

Hey Fiddleman...sorry to go off topic but I just noticed on your ticker that the little man on the snowmobile/ski jet is about to crash into that tree...LOL!

look at the pop tart box. perhaps not as bad as you think. but the fresh strawberries and perhaps some cool whip might help get over the craving. you have been doing so good I don't think it would be the worse thing to happen if you gave into a craving once in a great while.

Are you kidding me.....Cool Whip is an edible oil! I would never put something like that in my body...... ;)

To Pop Tart or not to Pop Tart, that is the question...And you answered it with a big ole' HECK YEAH! We get to live our lives because we chose this path. ( to sleeve) And guess what? The occasional "off plan" food is part of that life. I feel it is safe to say you know exactly what you are doing and this was just a test...or a tease..for us. Way to goose us all!!! LOL

You got me sweetie! ;) I am a true believer in learning how to live in the real world of food. Treats included......

pop tarts aren't that great... I would either have fresh fruit OR a really GOOD pastry instead. :)

Oh my goodness another country heard from... ;) I think it depends on who wants to eat it eh!!!! I bought it, I ate it, and I enjoyed it....It was what I wanted and so it met its fate in my presents....now I no longer want one....lol

It was good though...But a lot smaller then I remember. That was disappointing..But then if it had been the regular size I probably would not have been able to finish it... :D

Eat it and enjoy...sorry I have no control

That is the entire point of the sleeve. To give you time to learn how to conquer the addiction of food. Working out the reasons why in your head, will help you work your body...

This tool gives you that opportunity to learn how to eat to live not live to eat....

So I do believe in treats as well. Always have..With balance and moderation....We are never going to totally beat the addiction. We will fight until our last breath. The point of weight loss surgery is to improve your health. By educating yourself about food and all the aspects we use it for. And then changing the way we see it.....

I will be a food addict the rest of my life..But I work every day to find the balance and moderation needed to reach my goals and stay there......I kinda like the control in this way now..It used to be I had control of food in my world and nothing else. Now I control what goes in my body...I love seeing food left on my plate and carefully examining how my sleeve is acting toward it.....Amazing machines aren't we all! :)

Oh no you got me wrong. I do not eat a treat because I think I deserve it. I do it because I want it and I can have it if I chose too. I have sliders that I have to be very careful with like popcorn, cracker chips...Like that...A pop tart is just that a pop tart and I have worked on myself for 2 years to put food where it belongs....To feed my body not my soul... It will always be a struggle because once you are an addict you are always an addict. I ate it and enjoyed it and today I am back on track....That is the difference in changing your brain set..from uncontrolled eating... I will struggle for the rest of my life like everyone on this forum or have had WLS to control the demon...I chose to poke it once in a while to see how far I have come...And I have come a long way baby....I hope the same for you someday otherwise it will become way to much being so restricted on a diet again..just a different one..... :)

Oh no! I didn't mean to say that YOU were saying that! I'm sorry! Someone else said you deserve it and it made me realize that's what I always tell myself, and it's bad for me . :-) glad you enjoyed your treat.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
