Wow. Well I can say that obviously you are not happy nor proud of your actions. At eight weeks post op, your early enough in the game to nip those bad habits in the bud. If you. I would call the person who gave you your psych eval, maybe they can offer some coping mechanisms. I really don't like the attention about my weight, so I usually just say thanks and totally change the subject. Don't feel bad about telling people that you preferre not to talk about your weight. You are on the path to a healthy life, it's not always easy, but it is well worth it. You've come too far to sabatoge. Best of luck.

Wow you look great. Congrats on the meds. Keep up the good work. I also found my doctor pushing the bypass, he insisted it was the "gold standard". But I wouldn't give in, I'm loving my sleeve.

Your having the jitters. It will be fine. Before you know it your surgery will be done and over with.

According to mfp I get about 40-45g of carbs. Now there are days about on e a week where I will treat my self so my carbs are usually hight on that day.

You look good. Keep up the good work.

Good luck Steve, I hope the doctors are able to help you.

Sorry about your dogs, it is truly a difficult loss. I will keep you and your pets in my prayers.

I know the feeling, I feel soo good about my weight loss. Then my cousin took a picture of me, I realized how silly I looked in by loose baggy clothes. I came home and started a huge donation pile. It's just so sloppy looking. However I am grateful to have my clothes too big as opposed to too small.

I was discharged on mushies and went straight to soft foods. Good luck at your appointment today.

I take it your on your pre op diet. Trust me when I say the pre op diet is usually the hardest part. Be strong your sacrafices will pay off.

If you are going to do one or the other I would do the occasional beer. I'm sure it would be very easy to let soda back into your life, I personally don't think it's something that is good for our bodies, even without the speed.

Yes, I would also say try to go back to basics, track your food, stay away from calorie drinks. What does your diet look like as of right now??

Can you try to cook them things that your not crazy about, so that you don't get so tempted?? So if your kids love Mac m cheese, but your not crazy about them, then cook them that.

Your awesome, no worries you will be fine. You have our huge community pulling for you. Best of luck.

First what does you pre op diet consist of?? Second I think you can totally pull off these events. At 4 days post op I went to a wedding and played with my food, but ate none of it and just drank water, no one noticed anything.

It sounds like plantar fasciitis, which I have. If you recently started a walking or exercise regimen that would explain it. Anyhow my doctor suggested I freeze a bottled water and once it is all frozen rotate it under my foot back and forth in a rolling motion. This really did help, and I was able to keep my sock on.

I was sleeping a lot for the first month. Which made it really hard to get in my fluids and protein. Once I came back to work things got better, but I think it was because I got myself on a food/fluid regimen that allowed me to meet my nutritional requirements.

Yes, I find if I'm craving something and I have a taste of it it doesn't take much to satisfy my craving.

Congrats and welcome to the club....

Way to go Tina. You have done great, and are very inspiring. Keep up the good work.

I usually do 30-45 min on my treadmill or I will ride my bike for an hour or so. Start out at a comfortable pace and time and gradually increase as to challange your self.

Yippie.... Congrats. It will be here before you know it.

Wow I'm currently 2.5 months out, I've just been amazed that now I can tell my face shape. Before my face was just fat I was never able to see the structure in my cheek bones. I'm loving every second of my sleeve.

Congrats, I bought a maxi dress and realized my thighs were not rubbing together. What a great feeling.

I eat it with no problems.
