After the sleeve you Will never eat a a full sized burger with a baked potato and other sides. :) You will never have the same capacity, but you will be able to eat anything you want (in most cases). I have heard of people developing milk allergies and not being able to tolerate eggs or something else, but it is not the norm.
After the sleeve you shouldn't eat high carb items or high fat items. Even in maintenance, I have to keep and eye on my carbs and fats, (mostly carbs) and I rarely drink my calories.
After the sleeve you WILL never eat..... I think that sentence is a big fallacy! I can eat whatever I want. PERIOD. No food intolerances whatsoever! There is NOTHING I can not eat - so far!
After the sleeve you shouldn't eat........ Well, that's individual. I watch my carbs, I choose not to drink soda of any kind, but will drink Crystal Light or stuff like that occasionally. I also watch my fat intake. I shouldn't eat sweets, but I do sometimes and sometimes I crave them like mad. So, for me it's a trade off: if I have sweets I know I have to be ready to deal with the cravings that come from eating them. It's the price I pay. When I abstain the cravings go away and life is good. For me, it's a vicious cycle.
Amen! Very well said. Same exact things go for me with the sweets and with eating anything. I have not been doing well this week and I am paying the price, with the cravings, and with the scale.....Its my fault, I have to deal with it and get up and keep going instead of feeling sorry for myself (which is what I really want to do LOL)
