Admitting :: i cheated



Recommended Posts

I am a week and 2 days post op and my family went to dinner tonight and I thinking I was ready had a normal meal and man am i paying for it.....word to those who will listen .... Do NOT rush the process!

My doctor was very vague about post op nutrition so I have just been doing research and listening to others but I'm back to liquids and slight mushies.... This pain isn't worth it

Thanking God for heating pads tonight.....hope sleep comes soon!

Smiles, we all go through this, some of us more readily admit it. I have had my so call bad choice days over the past 2 years and I have paid dearly for each one of them. My episode early on was with some tortilla chips and salsa from our local Mexican restaurant. I was actually very scared and so afraid I had hurt my band but luckily I didn't but I did learn and yes I also said thank god for heating pads that night. Good luck to you in this journey, I can only speak for my self but for me it has been successful and rewarding. Wishing you the best!

Thanks so much for your kind words....tonight help put a lot into perspective for me......I did surgery because I didn't want to be the same me.....I just think its hard admitting that fact to others because you don't want to make them feel bad or inconvenienced because of your life change.

Thanks goodness pain is letting up and I'm researching personal trainers to make the time go by ;)

Yes we all do this one time or another. My worst night mare was downing some steak after getting a fill as I become very swollen after my fills for a long time. Needless to say i was in agony for a long time and stuck so badly I could not breathe. We all make mistakes but the key is to learn from them so you don't do it again. I surely would ask them for post op eating instructions because right now that is the most important phase for you.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
