I don't think it's going to kill you. It's still within the portion size we're supposed to have and still within the daily allotment of calories. No worries.

It’s amazing how once we start giving these bodies the high quality fuel they deserve they balk at the crap we used to feed them on a consistent basis. I made one of families favorite potatoe recipes for Easter and thought I’d try just a “bit” at dinner last night . I was feeling awful the rest of the night . Full on case of the foamies and that’s only the 2nd time that’s happened to me. First time was right after back on full foods and I over did it . I agree, it didn’t taste near as good as I built it up in my head and no where near the price I paid .

I tried eating pizza a couple of times in the past 8 months (literally.. I think 3 times). We used to eat pizza 3x a month, at least. The last time I ate an extremely thin slice very, very slowly and I still felt horrible after. Stomach pain, headache, nausea. I think it's the dense bread. I can eat crackers (in small quantities) but eating a whole roll or bun, or a sandwich, or slice of garlic bread makes me feel ill. I just don't even try anymore.

Probably better off that way, bread used to be one of my downfalls, especially homemade or Italian. Now I don't eat any, quite a change, but you know, I'm not tempted anymore.

You need to recognize the 'want' of these foods, not saying never, but just don't partake - it leads to head games, you must take care here and honor the beginning process as THE ONLY TIME you will have to maximize the skills and the losses you will need to sustain your success down the road. It changes.

You can just about ingest anything and everything right now in a small quantity and lose, false sense of security and success.

Go watch Dr Duc Vuong on youtube, watch one every day for reinforcing the rules.

I've had pizza a couple times since surgery (usually not even a full slice), but it is definitely not as satisfying and doesn't taste as good as before.

I've tried a handful of things- bites here and there. It is a blessing and a curse that my stomach seems to tolerate everything wonderfully.

      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.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
