I am not shaming you for slipping, but what an awful choice.
I hate peeps.
Worst easter candy ever.
Chocolate covered marshmallow eggs, that's where it's at. [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]



My Easter candy weakness was Cadbury chocolate egg with Carmel inside ! But I haven't even looked at them a second time ! I guess I'm over them! We have broke up![emoji3]

I like the regular Cadbury chocolate eggs...but luckily, like you, I walk right by them now. :P

I have had at least three slip ups twice I had about three cheetos and once I had a bite of fun sized snickers. I'm only 4 weeks 1 day post op and am down 26 pd since surgery. I realized the slip ups defeat the purpose for me because it's unhealthy but, it's life. All addicts have potential to regress (I'm convinced I was food addict).

Before surgery I would have eaten the whole package, maybe two packages so eating only three and being satisfied is a huge accomplishment for me


So far you have had two "slip ups"; hard candies and now the marshmallows. You admitted to eating fast and larger volumes than just about any 5 week post op patient in another thread. Even though you are still losing in the honeymoon phase, this does not bode well for you. You need to get this under control before you cause yourself serious harm.

This is the time when it is easiest to establish new habits. Don't squander it on something as trivial as hard candies and peeps.

I never said I ate large volumes or fast. Wrong person buddy. I can't eat much at all. A few teaspoons of tuna and I'm full.

Me to! Two teaspoons of tuna and I feel like I've eaten a whole cow! lol I just inboxed my surgeon to see how what size my sleeve is? A ink pin or a banana [emoji529]

My nutritionist has said over and over that I'll be learning portion control through my sleeve. When I spoke to get about the peeps she said as long as you are eating healthy 98% of the time a little piece of cake on my birthday or a piece of candy once in a while is not bad.

I eat up to 8 ounces of food at a time with no problem and I eat kind of fast. Is this normal?

Don't get me wrong @jfcajr, it does not affect me at all what you do. I am only pointing out what could be a recurring issue to help you identify a problem before it starts.

Good luck.

I was just going by what you said.

Fluid is of course different.
