Ok so this weekend was crazy. I made some bad choices when it comes to food. We were running everywhere and I lost my train of thought. I am not even going to say what I ate because its to embarassing. I just weight in today and I gained a pound. I am feeling really down right now and I can't even bring myself to talk about it. 2 weeks until surgery I hope I can make my goal.

Hi Chose!

Dont beat yourself up! We all make less healthy choices sometimes. Last week I was at the bar twice DRINKING and shared a plate of nachos for dinner during one of them! I also missed 3 workouts last week!

Not weighing in until Tuesday because that is my weigh in day. I am mentally prepared to have NOT lost anything this week and to have most likely gained. You reap what you sow!

It is important to follow the Dr. directions previous to and immediatley following surgery BUT my psychologist tells me all the time...

1) DONT BE HARD ON YOURSELF! The negative self-talk just starts an ugly cycle! For me it ws typical to say to myself "why are you even trying? This is the same old shit that got you here". When we are not gentle with ourselves is when we beat ourselves down! STOP IT! You can do this and you will!

2) Make excellent choices 90% of the time and give yourself permission to make less healthy choices %10 of the time! It sounds silly but when you give yourself permission, you wont beat yourself up! No one is perfect. We all will indulge. Know it is coming and be okay with it!

None of this is easy, but stay strong and it will all be so worth it in the end!

GOOD LUCK!

I agree, dont be hard on yourself! We ALL eat things we arent suppose to. SO WHAT!!!! I didnt have a pre-op diet at all. I was private pay. I learned from my doc that the pre-op diet is all about the insurance company UNLESS you are extremely over weight - like over 500 lbs. So dont worry about it. Ive been banded 7 months ( I just posted "this band has a mind of its own" ) and have many issues with it. I still eat whatever I want ( when I can) I just keep the portions very small. It is crazy to think we can deprive ourselves forever. Weight loss will happen when you eat small portions 4-5x/day and do some exercise. Stop stressing. Everything will be fine. Just expect a bumpy road with this.

    • I’ve used my Xbox for exercise games too and it can be pretty motivating, especially on days when I don’t want to leave the house. Kinect games really do make you move, and after a session with kickboxing or dancing, I always feel like I’ve actually gotten a solid workout. The controller-free setup feels way more natural for workouts than anything I tried on the Wii. Zumba is fun but definitely takes a little time to get the moves right. Lately, when I’m not working out, I spend time trading CS2 skins and finding new guides on this link. There’s a lot of interesting tips if you’re into games outside of fitness too.
