Diet coke = not food - don't do it

Cookies = junky, carby food makes me hungry when I eat it - don't do it

Bread= limited quantities of good quality bread can be a healthy part of the diet. I really eat very little bread, even years post surgery

No to all in the weight loss stage.

Just out of curiosity, can I have your comments on bread, diet coke and Cookies?

Bread - Rarely and definitely not in early weight loss stages.

Diet Coke - Poison. It's not food and not healthy even "in moderation". Never touch the stuff.

Cookies - Even less rarely than bread, but once in a blue moon, okay.

In limited quantities, yes, and on special occassions.

bread tends to make me sick, so I don't eat much of it. You can eat it if you choose to. Minimizing consumption of bread, Pasta, etc, is good for a diet, and with a sleeve it will potentially be a slider that fills you up on carbs instead of Protein. You can eat it though, just don't eat a lot of it.

I refused to give up diet coke and I drank it the entire time. I've maintained at goal weight. Diet Coke is bad for you. You should not drink it. Are you able to drink it after the first 2 months of recovery following the sleeve? Yes. Is it any worse for you with a sleeve than without it? No.

I love Cookies. I eat them maybe once every few months, I enjoy them, and then I'm good for awhile. You can eat Cookies all you want- you just won't lose weight quickly and won't maintain if you're still eating junk. Enjoy them once in a while, and then skip them.

The nice thing about the sleeve is that after recovery there is literally nothing you are banned from eating. If you make bad food decisions, you pay for them just like you did before the sleeve. Enjoy a sandwich occassionally, eat a few cookies if you want to, probably don't drink diet coke as much as I do....use your discretion and you will be fine.

Carbonation hurts my stomach so no on that.

bread very occasionally but it sits like a lump in my stomach.

Now that I am at goal I confess I have a cookie a couple times a month. Sometimes once a week even! I run a lot so I can eat more than some.

Bread. A little, toasted or it gets stuck for me.

Diet Coke. Gross. I like Coke Zero.

Cookies. Yum. I eat them occasionally but I don't make a habit of it.

Same. I have just recently started having a Coke Zero every once in a while. Doesn't hurt anymore. I don't know if that's a good thing....

I like a piece of 60 calorie Daves Killer 21 grain bread toasted with an egg or low fat Peanut Butter. Not toasted it sits like a rock.

Cookies are rare. I'm a glutton with some of them, and I can't stop at just one sometimes. Plus I'll crave MORE!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
