I can eat anything
I have learned that I can eat anything...so far. I thought about feeling guilty about it, but I weigh everything, and track everything. Life has changed! I did not say no to cake last week, I took 2 small bites, and worked out for an hour. This is a tool, it's about eating healthy 95 percent of the time, but it's also about enjoying food just less less less of it!

Re: I can eat anything
I'm in the same boat, I rarely have an intolerance to any food, it's been like that from the start. I do eat much less, and I do fill up fast if I eat protien first. But its not how I thought it would be. I still fight wanting unhealthy food daily.

Re: I can eat anything
Please dont give in to the little successes/treats right now.... you're far too early out IMO.
If you do these little "gives" now, how far will you go in a year??? If you can stay strict to your plan now you will experience so many highs and happiness without food dictating your choices and your decisions.

Re: I can eat anything
I can eat anything too, just not very much of it. I always eat my protein first, and that fills me up so that I don't have room for anything else. I was a little worried about trying salad and cole slaw, but didn't have a problem at all with them. For me, that's the great thing about having the sleeve - you can have such a variety in your diet. If I want a treat, I have an Atkins caramel/peanut bar meal replacement for lunch. It's pretty high in protein and low carb. It takes me about two hours to eat it though. I have traded my late night habit of butter pecan ice cream for a SF banana popsicle :) It has been a huge lifestyle change, but seeing the pounds melt away has been worth it!

Re: I can eat anything
you're lucky if you can eat anything! I developed a food intolerance/allergy to eggs, most dairy, whey protein powders, some seafood and spicy foods...

Re: I can eat anything
As long as you can reign yourself in and not get out of control with cravings then that is a good approach. If you CAN just eat a bite or two, and leave it alone, then you are doing great. A lot of people will go back for a bite or two about 3-4 in the same day so be careful. It's a slippery slope. A month out of surgery, i couldn't even finish 1/4 cup of soup. Now I can eat 1/2 cup or more. Just be careful! The further out you are--the harder it is. And there is not much restriction when it comes to sweets or chips especially at this point. One very wise lady said "I moderate eating what I CAN moderate!" She meant she cannot eat chips in moderation but she can eat ice cream in moderation without feeling the need to go get more.
