Good Morning. What's your poison?

Do you have a food or drink weakness? What's your addiction? Do you have one? How do you handle it post-WLS?

*********
I think mine could be Cheetos and maybe diet Dr Pepper. I broke those habits for the most part right before WLS. Cheetos are still a weakness and if I get the opportunity I will eat them until the bag is gone. I avoid diet Dr Pepper but will have a diet Pepsi in the afternoons with a snack sized bag of popcorn.

Next.....

Good topic.

My weakness is BBQ flavour chips/crisps and I'm still truly addicted to them.  I try now to limit them if I have a bag of them I eat only half the bag and save the other half for another day.

Cake  (either in batter form or baked) is my weakness.   I dont bring cake mix into the house.  I have had a few bites of cake since my surgery for birthdays, weddings, ect.    However, I only eat a few bites now instead of a few pieces like I would do pre wls.

Pre wls I was a candy bar addict.  Now the thought of eating a candy bar gags me.  Dont know why but Im glad it does. One less demon to fight.      Cindy

That's funny because I can't eat candy bars either now.  I rarely even eat a Protein bar...I think they scare me death.

 cereal.  i could, and HAVE eaten a whole box in one day.  i dont let it in the house anymore!

Ice cream!  That's always been my huge weakness, but I satisfy it by making REALLY THICK protein shakes, they are soft serve consistency.

I LOVE Snyder Honey BQ Chips!!!!!   I can't have them in the house because I can and have eaten them until they are gone.  Sometimes DH will bring me home a 99 cent bag and I grab a book and the bag and run for a quite place, but that's only when he feels I've had enough of kids and grandkids (which isn't very often). 

Not to long ago, I was totally hooked on cheezits at work.  It got so bad that I made myself wait until 2:00 to have some but when I realized I watching the clock, I said this is enough!!  It took me a little over a week to get myself unhooked.

Unless it's a special occassion we don't have cake at our house.  My DH loves Sam's Clubs blueberry pie and I've found myself taking a very small bite before bed and that's got to stop too! 

THANKS FOR THIS POST GINA....IT'S GOT ME THINKING!!!!!

 I like granola with half and half myself...when I really need carbos...but that's rarely...otherwise I will eat trail mix...I get it with the little chocolate chips in it and eat it...I figure I'm having protein with my carbs and all in all it's roughage....I love ice cream but it makes me feel sick after...SEAVIEW

Diet Coke! Haven't had one in a little over 8 months. Uggh. I'm really afraid to get back into that habit. I do get Doritos every now and again - and feel guilty on that one. Mostly when driving late nights for work. That's when it really hits me.

I have so many weaknesses.....  I love chips(any kind) and can eat a good bit of them.  I try not to have them in the house because they just call my name from the kitchen no matter where I am i the house.  DH brings a bag home sometimes.

I also love chocolate.  Unfortunately for me, I can eat it and it doesn't make me sick unless I eat a lot of it.

I try to limit having these around me because I don't have the best will power in the world.

I was addicted to Diet Coke before WLS.  I have not had one since about 2 months before surgery.  This is one of the few things that I know I can't even try - because if it goes down good and doesn't hurt really really bad - I would be back on them like I was before surgery.

Good topic today Gina.
