feeling guilty ..been eating more ..7 months out and eating sweets like ice cream and cookies

I am lonely. Had surgery, need to talk.

Newbies encouraging newbies to cheat on their post op diet. AWESOME.

I've decided on a new highly specific NSV goal after attending a concert last nite: would like to be small enough that a man lets me sit on his shoulders at a show. Just for one song! Maybe the slow song. Highly specific. But it's going to happen one day.

Been doing 30 push ups three times a day. Get's the blood flowing, clears the mind, and getting a little more definition.

My beloved cubs are in the World Series, I am almost under 200 pounds and I don't wear the largest size in regular sizes. Things I never thought would happen, but they feel so amazing. What a joyous year this has been.

Well........my surgeon's office called this week and asked me to reschedule my one year appointment (October) due to him moving on. Seems he is taking his talents to Texas. I'll miss my visits with him because he was always a straight shooter and did a great job with my VSG. Time to hook up with another in the practice and keep my appointments.

Sorry folks........but this old boy doesn't embrace stalls. To me, a stall is simply telling my my strategy and effort are weak and lacking. Worked some crazy long hours these past two weeks....lot of job stress.....all were excuses I used to say my stall was understandable. I've been off work and supposed to be relaxing since Friday. I've put some serious miles on the dreadmill, lifted heavy shyt and put it back down, worked out on punching bags and lifted more heavy shyt. I'm no Muhammad Ali.....but I gave this stall a beatdown.....old school beatdown. Embrace a stall ? Piss on that. Stomp it down into the mud and then walk it dry. I don't embrace a damn thing about it. Feeling great this morning. The scale agreed with my efforts. Free yer mind.......and yer arse will follow !!!!!!!!

So.....I was out early yessaday evening......sitting at bar and enjoying some light eats and soaking in the environment.......and a song came on that perfectly described my experiences this week. Robbie Robertson's "Somewhere Down the Crazy River". It brought a huge soulful grin to my ugly mug and it just hit home. Life is good and I'm feeling the best I have in 25 years. "Wait, did you hear that Oh, this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me She said, "There's one thing you've got to learn Is not to be afraid of it" I said, "No, I like it, I like it, it's good" She said, "You like it now But you'll learn to love it later"

Well....hopped on bathroom scale this morning...322 on one...went and used the HD scale and it read 325. This officially drops me from a 58 BMI down to 39. 153 lbs lost and the ship is still sailing. Feels damn good... so grateful for this sleeve gift. So grateful for the friends found here at Bariatric Pal.

Its been 1 week and 3 days since surgery and I'm down 10 lbs. So excited about this. But I am starting to feel a little depressed about food. In my mind I'm not going to be albe to eat the food I used to love in the quanity I used to love to eat it in. I know I did this sugery for a reason and I dont regret it for one moment but I do miss what I was able to used to do

sitting here thinking about getting the surgery but i am really scared i really have a fear of surgery and i really want it.
