I follow the first 5 ingredient rule: if sugar of any kind is in the first 5 ingredients listed on whatever you're about to put in your mouth, then don't! I'm only 3 months out and sugar is no prob for me - just as long as I follow the above. Remember, anything with ose at the end is sugar - sucrose, etc. I only wish I could get past the learning curve of last bite, last bite, last bite! Good luck.

Thanks Dara,

I do know the rules, and I get scared sometimes that I really am going to starve to death, and then I go and eat andes instead of protein. I finally did eat last night, my daughter brought me a frappuccino but wouldn't let me have it til I at some protein, so as protein goes, I had some meat and beans and cheese, then she gave my my frappuccino. I think being away from my husband so much, instead of turning to food, its more like a no food thing. I didn't lose any weight or gain this morning, lol so now what do I do? Dara I can eat almost a whole banana now, I love to dip them in peanutbutter. I like dipping celery in peanut butter now too.

I guess I started posting regularly when Bridget posted about the long term vitamin deficiency not showing up for a while, and although my blood work has been good both times since surgery, I haven't been taking my vitamins either, the only thing I took was my aciphex because of the ulcer. I don't have a problem taking my pre natal vitamin anymore, so that wasn't even an excuse. I live in my suitcase between Lancaster, Los Angles, and San Diego. Just too lazy to open the suitcase. I need you all more than I thought. But for here I am alone in my WLS world. Although the high has been awesome, and no one but a wls pt will ever know the joy of it, I am on my own out here. When do we stop blabbing to everyone that we had surgery and just live like a normal thin person. I am far from normal and don't really know how to act normal. Lol, does that make sense?

Hugs,

Traci

P.s. drinking peach propel today.
