Welcome to our group. I take a pre/probiotic once a day (Celebrate Balance pre/probiotic), a bariatric multivitamin once a day, and my bloodwork has been perfect. For those that know me on here, they know my weakness is Coke. I no longer drink the regular stuff, but i do drink Coke Zero. I will cheat every now and then but with a small bite of something sweet (like at a party or holiday gathering). I no longer buy that stuff or i might be tempted to eat it. I try to think of my Chobani zero yogurt with strawberries and blueberries as my sweet treat. I eat it pretty much daily for breakfast. Now that i am 1 year post sleeve surgery, I eat many regular foods, but in a much smaller quantity. I watch my carb, fat, and sugar intake. I have a super supportive husband who has altered his eating habits as well due to me on this journey. That is super because he also does not eat sweets anymore. He says he is doing for his health also, but he also says he feels bad eating that stuff in front of me! We do enjoy going out to eat, but we both make smarter, healthier choices. The biggest stuggle for me is water. I dont like to drink it, not even with the sugar free flavorings you can add to it. I drink plain black tea with splenda. I do not like the artificial sweetners, but if it makes me drink more liquids like tea, then that is what i gotta do. I do not like the natural sweetner, the name slips my mind right now. I dont look it as a diet, I look at it as a lifestyle change for life! I never had an eating disorder, I just made bad choices, ate too much sugar, and my portions were way to large. Food never made me happy so i did not have that struggle post surgery. I wish you luck in your journey!!!
