Chips. Dont Eat Them



Recommended Posts

There is no restriction with junk food, people. Between last night and today, I've eaten an entire large bag of potato chips. I can eat them like I used to before the band. The. Entire. Bag. Now I feel like a bloated, Water retaining whale. I do need a fill, but if I don't stop my journey down the junk food path, I won't lose anymore weight... inspiration PLEASE?

It is so hard not to eat those easy feel good foods but u can do it! Every dy u don't eat them u will wake up proud of yourself also every day u don't eat them it will be easier to say no the next day. U got this, Rock it out!

Just think... Is it worth it? No.

You had the surgery because you want to change. You need a change.

Go slow, maybe get baked chips, or special K chips and look at the serving size.

I know it's hard. I'm going through bandster he'll myself right now, but we have made a drastic decision to have surgery. Surgery was a HUGE step/ decision so now we have to help ourselves.

I'm not saying stop eating chips completely, but baby steps. If u know ur gonna eat the entire bag, then try not to buy it.

Best of luck!! Were all I'm this together!!!!

You have to find the inner resources to have some self discipline. If you can't , then no chips in the house. I like popchips and snyders healthy chips if I gotta havem. Also, make sure you eat enough Protein throughout the day and fiber- if you feel hungry and deprived you will have lower will power.

Also, exercise at tapping.com helps me with food cravings. It's about a 15 minute demo of something called The Emotional freedom technique

I just read this again for the 3rd time: "It's just a diet till there's restriction".

Until you get that fill that helps you find satiety, you must diet or you won't lose weight.

Don't buy the chips. that simple. if you buy them=you will eat 1=you will eat the whole bag. this is addiction, time to get serious and agressive about fighting back. you wouldn't do a little crack if you were a crackhead or take a sip of alchohol is you went to AA. If you're like me you're a recoving food addict and even if you never pick up another chip in you life, you will still be a food addict...that susceptibility will always be there., so you have to decide if a chip is worth the floodgate of problems it unleashes. i think not. These are things i have to practice telling myself so i don't eat the things that upset me. YOU CAN DO IT!

"Restriction" still won't stop you eating that packet of chips or chocolate or whatever your vice may be. "Restriction" may help you to avoid eating the chips because you are satisfied and you decide that although they taste nice you don't really need them. Don't forget that a big part of this is still you making good decisions.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
