Yep. You screwed up. Now get over it and get back on track!
If you are concerned that you have "hurt" yourself, then please call your bariatric team. Yes, you will probably get a meaningful scolding, but they are the ones who know you best and can guide you.
My surgeon--5yrs ago told me, "You, like everyone else will probably test your boundaries and live to regret it." Make it a learning experience. I bet you won't be repeating your mis-step anytime soon, right?
Make your journey a joyful one. It really can be once you learn to work WITH your new body--not against it. Listen to it. Feel it. It speaks only the truth. Trust it. Trust yourself.
Now. "time out" is over.
Back to the business of your WL journey. The sun is shining---enjoy it!!
Prayers going up for you, Friend.

Hey hope all is well! The mental part of this is no joke. At least you recognized your issue and you can get back on track! The doctors orders are very important but we are only human. I went to see my doctors PA on Friday for my two week post-op visit and she asked if I started any purée food. I told her no.. b/c I wasn't given the go.. She laughed and said your by the book I see.. Lol. She advanced me to purée b/c I'm doing so well. My soft food class is on Tuesday. Good luck with everything and I'm glad your feeling good

@@LadyWarren - Thank you for your well wishes. The mental struggle is most definitely real and I've been doing well since my 'blip'. Wishing you a great recovery also you sound like you're doing wonderfully i'll take a leaf from your book!

Do Soups.. My husband makes me Soups and chops veggies and chicken in it. And fills it with broth. Of course I can only drink the liquid but it taste so yummy like I'm drinking rotisserie chickenI also add GENEPRO for Protein.

It is crazy to me how it feels like the body isn't doing anything and then it suddenly changes dramatically. These dramatic changes should be visible on their own, but it usually takes having my attention brought to it. Early nsv's included fitting into a diner booth, and under growing my clothes. My newest non-scale victory he is a pain in my ass! Literally. I sit down too hard because my body memory this program to throw down over 300 pounds which takes momentum. Today I went to a doctors appointment what to sit in the chair, and I could feel the bones in my butt-they actually hurt against the seat. Stuff like this really helps me realize throughout this journey that the hard work pays off!

You can do this.. Hang in there!!!

June 6th here. Am glad I have more time since my diet still isn't where I want it to be and am working on it but am also getting increasingly anxious/nervous about it, which I know is normal.

You look fabulous!!!!! Keep up the good work and congratulations!!

I'm still losing weight, but at this rate by the time I hit one year post surgery I should be ready. I have always had very large breasts. I have worn cup sizes as high as H. My breasts have become so flat after losing almost 100 pounds. They are still large but they hang, and look like pancakes from the side. Plastic surgery was just not something that was accessible to me before, but this is been on my mind a lot lately. Terrifying as it seems, I feel that I really need and want my breasts lifted when I get to my goal weight of 175 pounds. Can anybody guide me on where to begin? I would love so much to hear stories of successful breast lifts from women who have lost a lot of weight and who had very large breasts when they were heavy. It's hard to imagine that they can do anything, but supposedly they can. Would you share your stories with me?

Down about 80 pounds from top pictures. Bottom pictures just taken today. #happy

I'm May 16th and will be starting my 2 week pre-op diet on Monday the 2nd.....but it's a pretty good one....one Protein Drink and two small low carb meals (lean meat and veggie) per day....at least I get to have food!!....and clear liq 24 hours prior to surgery.

I'm scheduled for June 30th. I'm still going through the insurance process though. I have to do psych eval, nutritionist, a class. All the things are scheduled in May. I'm nervous but I'm so happy that I'm making this change! Im thinking that I should start buying some food items now??? wish you luck.

I am scheduled for May 12th. I start my pre-op diet on April 28th. I am very happy but I'm nervous too.
How is everyone coming along and feeling? Do you have to be on a pre-op diet?
I have to do the Ketogenx diet with the Bariatric Advantage shakes, Soups, crisps, Protein bars etc..
I took pictures of a couple of items, I will need for my pre-op. I will take some more and post on this thread. Good luck to everyone and congratulations!! We are almost there

Mines is scheduled for May 3rd. It's has been a year long journey thanks to my insurance provider. I started my liquid diet almost two weeks ago and I have good and bad days. It's fascinating that everyone has different pre-op diets (if at all). I'm down almost 20 just being on the liquid diet.
