Great decision & good for you girl! Feel free to message me anytime

Baritastic, yes - and I promise you that tracking will be so much easier post-op. I flat out told my nutritionist that refused to track because it was too much and boy did my tune change during the pre-op diet and beyond. Sometimes, weekends mostly like you, I miss tracking and the day gets away but I have a somewhat mental idea of what I'm consuming. As for the food choice now - I get it. I needed to eat all of the wings because I would never eat wings again. Guess what, I've had wings and probably a taste of everything I thought I'd never eat. It was my inner fat girl freaking out and I think it's normal. But I assure you, it'll be okay.

I too am in the same boat as you, a super busy life, 2 girls (4&12) and a hubby who doesn't need to lose either. During the last 5 months there has been times that fast food/gas station food has been the only on the go option. So at 7-11 I may pick peanut butter and apples, McDonalds - just a cheeseburger (which is wayyy better than what I used to order :)), Wendy's - a chili or salad. I do a quick search on my baritastic app to gauge the protein and nutritional value when making my decision. I've not been anywhere yet where there wasn't an option for me (and my family). This is forever and a lifestyle change. Don't not eat - you'll come to regret your surgery by feeling left out. Just adapt and do what's best for you.

Congratulations, Stacy! Sleeved in Nov at Stony Brook. Less than one month to go - you'll do great

Thank you all for posting. Gosh, it's so great to know that we all are having similar thoughts! I mean who else would get the thought of looking at a body part in amazement and second-guessing that it's yours. I hate that we have similar struggles, temptations, bad habits - but it's good to know you're not alone. Have a great Monday guys!

The willpower and mindset is awesome! Looks like you're pretty darn close to your balance (I may have sat there and took a bite) Good for you! I'm so glad it helped! <3 And girl, I can relate.. Self-realization is the first step towards your success. And it looks like you have a good plan in place to be successful long-term. It's a marathon, not a sprint.

It's so true! And I'm with you on hopefully finding a good balance. Since Nov, I've either overcompensated by making 3 course meals for the family or been leaving them high and dry because I'm so disinterested. Hopefully, things settle down and normalize where food isn't such a big deal, ya know...

Yep. Definitely! I remember my mom taking me to the misses section in 3rd grade.

I like Dr. V's down to earth approach and wanted to share: https://www.sleeveacademy.com/p/MindGames Disclaimer: there are a few f*bombs and profanity used for those who are offended by cursing

Good to know! Thanks

Under my plan, yes. After 3 months I can eat whatever I want as long as I'm reaching my protein and calorie goals. Had carrot sticks with dressing yesterday with no issues (3.5 months). Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app

Ha Ha! This post made my morning. (cannot wait to share with my sometimes duckfaced tweenaged daughter to better support my argument) ? Omg- thank you for this!! Sent from my SM-N950U using BariatricPal mobile app
