My plan allows anything after 3 months in moderation.. I'm 2 years post op and I occasionally have cake, ice cream, or whatever. I don't really like pizza but it's something I will eat if everyone wants it so I have had that too..
I make healthy choices 95% of the time, and allow myself a treat now and then. I think in order for this to be a lifelong lifestyle change it needs to be that way, at least for me.

I should add that I tolerate most foods pretty well, except excess fat will give me diarrhea since I had the SADI-S. I don't absorb fat as well. It doesn't stop me from having an occasional ice cream though!

AGREED! My dietician is the exact same. He made and posted a video in our support group a few weeks ago about this exact thing. No one is going to successfully live off of chicken and broccoli forever. The point is to learn moderation. He went on to talk about a patient that is 4 years post op and has maintained her weightloss and eats a regular ice cream sandwich every weekend for a treat. Because she does it once a week and has 1 rather than every day or having multiples.

I still have the occasional treat but on a drastically lessor scale than before surgery. I don't use sugar free Condiments because I barely use them anyway.

You have to find what works for you, and the chicken and broccoli diet does not work for me. I have lost 100+ lbs multiple times this way, always gaining it back.

I am committed to a normal healthy diet which includes everything and some things in moderation. Learning and maintaining portion sizes and continuing success.

Good luck to us all!

I'm not sure if I have bumping syndrome or not but am to scared to really find out but I don't limit what I eat just how much and what kind. I was told 9 grams of sugar per meal. I think if you take everything you like you won't be as successful at least I wouldn't. I eat bread just not a lot I eat pizza just not a lot I eat ice cream just eat the bryers carb smart. I made cake and Cookies with Monk Fruit sugar instead. I found sugar free cookies. And I think I'm doing good it's been 8 months since my bypass surgery and I'm down a 116lb and have 14 left to go.
