My birthday is next month, and I had told myself and my hubby that if I did good from now until the 8th, I was going to reward myself with some "good" food. Well, I have not done good so I've grounded myself and said stick to the same foods. When I started this topic earlier (then my computer lost what I had typed) I realized that I don't need to reward myself with food. After all, I got obese by comforting myself with food. That is like telling an addict "if you stay clean and sober a year, I'll give you some heroin." Well, I've decided instead, I'm going to get a piercing. I'm getting it this weekend because my hubby gets paid and the Tattoo studio is having a sale this month. What kind of rewards do you give yourself?

Ugh. It’s been a several months since I had the local Chinese food and gotten sick, so my brain must’ve forgotten how sick I got last time because I got some tonight for supper. ugh. It made me so sick. Why am I such an idiot? Ugh! Dummy! Dear future me, Should you think Chinese food sounds good...you’re wrong. You’ll end up puking, taking your Zofran, and laying in the tub while hot water rains down on you until your stomach feels calm enough to lay in bed without wanting to dry heave. This feels terrible, you do not want to feel like this again. Don’t do it, rather don’t EAT it. With Love, Me Blahhhh!

At 8 weeks, I was cleared for all foods. cottage cheese can be mixed with pretty much anything that would work with cheese. So like, taco meat for instance. https://nutritionstarringyou.com/40-cottage-cheese-recipes-you-wont-believe/

Certainly check all the posts using the Search function. That said, what's your calorie intake vs output. How's your water intake? Are you following the diet you are supposed to be or are you off doing your own thing? Are you tracking your food intakes? Don't forget that you could be losing fat and not losing "weight" as odd as that sounds, there are so many times that I'd drop fat % but not a single oz. Just keep doing what you are supposed to, max out on the water (128oz if possible) and focus on lean meats and veggies.

Yup, 6 weeks I was cleared for everything other than raw veggies, at 8 weeks all food (that I could tolerate) was fair game. Our Nutritionist pushes whole foods over processed. She's a vegan but doesn't require or enforce restrictions on meats, our only "rule" was to ensure that no added sugars are present, if so then the total sugar count per serving needs to be less than 5g, fat needs to also be less than 5g per serving.

I’m laying in bed, all has pretty much passed, I feel better. I’m sure it was all the carbs and sugar! I just needed to share how much of a dummy I was!

Just wanted to introduce myself. Hello everyone 👋 my name is Penelope and I want to get the gastric sleeve surgery. Current weight is 256 and I'm 5'7🙈 I've recently joined another forum and just found this one today. Can't wait to share my journey with you guys🤗 Feel free to add me on Instagram @fatsuitbegone *nothing on the page yet but I will be uploading before photos soon 😌🙈

I know this is the very beginning, but I am so excited!! I just set my first appointment to meet with my surgeon, and I can’t believe it’s actually happening! I’m getting all my stuff together, paperwork and documentation to take with me but I was hoping to get some words of wisdom from anyone whose already been there and done that! I’ve got a long road ahead but at least the ball is rolling now! Yaaaay!

I honestly believe in order for me to lose, I must exercise daily if at all possible. I try to walk 60 to 60+ minutes per day. I'm trying very hard to get back to doing my strength training/core exercises but that's not as regular--so far about 2x week is all I manage.

That's amazing to be so dedicated. You can do this
