Don't beat yourself up too much. Half the battle is recognizing what was ingested and what must be done to compensate for that. Wake up tomorrow and start the new day without the guilt. Good luck!

The best thing to do is realize that you made a mistake and not just think "well screw it, I've already wasted this whole day" and keep going....get right back on track. That was a hard, hard lesson for me to learn!

As long as you eat right 90% of the time. Think of it as shaking up your metabolism... As long as you don't do it often.

That's too funny we too have a Johnny Rockets by our local theater, small world. I admit I love popcorn too so what me and my husband do is get the small, I get a box put a small amount in it and when Im done Im done, Believe me it was trial and error on that too. Good luck

i always eat a small popcorn with layered butter at the movies - i average 1-2 movies per month - i sometimes can eat the whole bag sometimes only about half. It's my big cheat/splurge. I don't think twice about it - it may have barely slowed my weight loss but i doubt it and i'm happy with the pace i'm losing. Shaking up the metabolism is a good thing - i've learned that through this process.

Okay don't take this as being mean spirited. In the future plan to buy a hamburger no bun or fries and eat it while your daughter eats. I find the best defense against temptation is a plan. I'm sure you thought to yourself "I'm not going to eat anything this place is unhealthy." But by not ordering something you were tempted to eat bad choices. I have a friend that managed a fancy bistro. Mothers would come in buy really unhealty food for their kids and a green salad no dressing for themselves. The mother would eat all the kid's food and leave their salad. I'm sure their mentality was "I ordered a salad" yeah but they ate nachos and fried chicken fingers too.

I think you have to cheat once and awhile or it will drive you crazy.. just have to make sure it isn't everyday

I don't think of it as cheating! I believe its living, I believe that we need to start thinking like skinny people. They eat that stuff, they just moderate it. Just don't do it all the time. I allow myself junk, every now and again. HOWEVER, word to the wize, if its a trigger food, avoid it, cause thats a slippery slope! lol

Glad you caught yourself, enjoyed yourself, and now back to the bandwagon!

In my book, there is never a cheat. My band is for life. My eating habits are for life. I am not on a diet. I eat small portions. I make good choices most of the time. I enjoy foods that aren't so healthy some of the time.

My healthier choices happen far more than my less healthy choices. It is all about balance and moderation.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
