As excited as I am for surgery, my Valentine's gift to me, I still have list of my fav foods to kiss goodbye. Some I gave already had turned out to be yuck n was better in my mind than actually. I will miss prime rib, French bread n hot fresh buttered popcorn!

Don't cancel out the prime rib it's still protein!

Yes on the prime rib.

French kiss prime rib? I'm in!

@@fluffy4now, I had surgery on Sept 14, 2014. I had prime rib ten days after, and have it once a week (I work in the oil patch and all meals are made for us). I had turkey, gravy and all the fixins last Sunday, and tomorrow is steak and shrimp night. This sleeve is not a death sentence, it's a means of controling your intake. I can not stand Protein shakes, and wish so much I could find one that I could drink without it coming back on me, but I can't, so I eat what is put in front of me in camp. I eat VERY small amounts, and guess what, I'm happy with that. Prime rib night use to happen, and I'd almost eat the arm of anyone who got in my way, now I just sit back and enjoy it. I even have yorkshire pudding and gravy if I want it (might only be a bite or two, but that's all that I need). I have lost 35 pounds todate, and have another 40 to go. I love that I'm happy with a few bites of everything instead of being able to out eat every man in the dining room. I'm happy that my stomach doesn't stick out further than my boobs. So this isn't the end of enjoying food, it's the end of un-natural eating. As for the other things you enjoy, trust me you won't be struck with a bolt of lightening if you eat them, use caution, but enjoy life!

I have not said goodbye to anything. Once you are at goal, I don't see any reason why you can't have any of your favorites in moderation. I've had all three on your list as well as some of my favs.....tiramisu, cheesecake, gyros, sweet potato fries, crown and water, blueberry muffins.... But nothing "bad" more than a 3-4 times/month.

The only food I REALLY miss is a toasted bagel with cream cheese. It used to be my weekend treat.

Thanx for all the replies. I m so excited n reading posts from this n Facebook support groups are just great. I was going to invent a scarf to hide double chins but have too many hot flashes! Hopefully will get approved for Feb so I will b better for son's confirmation.
