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).

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.

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
