Trigger foods
Some people have told me it isn't healthy or realistic to say never again or to avoid certain foods. They tell me about alternatives like soy chips.
So tell me, have you cut any food out of your life since you've had surgery because you knew it would lead you down the road to binging?
Thanks!

That being said, Addiction Transferrence is a real issue for people who have had WLS. Try not to look at food and the issues that you might have if you begin to binge eat. There are other things out there that can become a problem. Things like alcohol, smoking, drugs(legal and illegal), sex, gambling are all things that can become a problem if we are not aware of them.
Something to keep in mind...

I have not cut out anything... I obviously have cut back on sugar because of dumping.. but I eat anything I want now but only to the benefit of my body.
I wouldnt oink out on potato chips because nutrionally it wouldnt do anything for me.. BUT if I am eating and getting all my prots and etc in sure Ill have a few chips. But since surgery there isnt any one thing I go bonkers on because I dont have the room for it and Im too afraid of getting fat again or gaining. Working this hard to get this far to F' it up because of the " carb monster" or over a chip? Hell no.. never.
I mean this with care ... I might be radical but I believe that the way I look now feels way better than somthing tastes.

Start Weight - 263
Current Weight 135 and making it work for ME !
Little by little I added things into my diet but quite frankly was content with my protein first and was full. (there was only one time that I can think of that I soooo wanted to break the rules and that was 2 wks out at my family Christmas~ feelings pass)
NOW, I have lost 150 and have kept it off for a year now. I am approaching my 2yr surgiversary. I now eat whatever I want BUT only AFTER I get my protein and nutrition for the day.
I mean why screw it up? I didn't go thru this to say "Hey, I think I will have my inards re~arranged just to see what it will be like to be skinny and then mess it up!" NO WAY!!!
Mind over matter~ simply put~ you wanna succeed ? follow the rules. Wanna see what you can "get away" with?~ probably won't get to goal.
NO FLAMING me! THIS IS MY OPINION~ take it or leave it.
Linda is right~ NOTHING taste as good as THIS feels!!! And I too say this in love as I WANT TO SEE PEOPLE get to goal and succeed!!!!
YOU CAN DO IT

Personally, I quit looking at what I can't/shouldn't have before the surgery and just look at what I have gained in life and health. It makes the stuff we "shouldn't" have not all that important any more. I don't feel that I have cut anything out of my life -- I let life back into me. I plan on living my life the healthy way and not have to worry about what I just ate or what I can't eat. Just remembering the stuff I am able to do, and the memories that have been created because of it, isn't worth the taste of anything I "shouldn't" have.
Have I had a chip or two -- yep. Did I enjoy it -- no. Did I try a taste of the grandson's sundae -- yep. Did I enjoy it -- no. Just didn't taste like I thought I wanted it to -- or the way I thought it was suppose to. So I just don't do it any more. It's not worth it to me.
Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels; but guilt is the worst taste ever!!!! Remember your passion for the surgery -- how bad you wanted this. And remember it every day!!!!
Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~
