I Just Ate a Chocolate Bunny!!



Recommended Posts

:Banane04: :help:

I just got back from HR Block and was upset. The first time I ever went o one. They managed to get my tax owed down to $175, but it cost me $200 for them to do it. I walked into the house and ate a 4 oz solid chocolate easter bunny I got for my boyfriend.

That's like 800 calories!!

:think

Well Leener you are now walking which is good, and you are eating which is very good. You just happened to have an off day and choose the wrong thing, but now you get to walk some more to go get another Easter bunny for the boyfriend. :Banane04:

I sure did. What an emotional response THAT was!

Yes, he gets home at 5:30. I better get another.

I feel awful about myself. I mean, I had major surgery to lose weight...what am I doing??!!

Leener, damnit! Knock it off. All you've gone through will be for naught if you keep that up. It didn't make you feel any better did it? It only made you feel worse on top of the stress. Think a long time about this event. Recognize it for what it is. Don't fall for the lie of comfort - it wont comfort you! It's a deception we all embrace and lean on like a crutch. Ah, but this will ease my stress, take away the sadness, help me feel less lonely. It wont! Not in a million years! It will make you fatter, it will ruin your excellent and brave decision to get the band. Now is the time for you to grab ahold of yourself and really realize what a remarkable tool you have inside of you and put it to use! Now is your chance girl. No amount of chocolate crap is going to feel anywhere as wonderful as as weighing 140 pounds.

I love ya Leener. I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at the deception that tricks us all into misery. *big hugs*

:uwelcome: you only ate one bunny! Excellent NSV! I mean, you could have eaten a whole herd of them before right? (what is a collection of rabbits anyway?)

Off days WILL happen. If this has been your only off day since being banded then :clap2: . You haven't even had your first fill yet, have you? It will get much easier with those fills.

Just dust yourself off and have a great rest of your day and a healthy tomorrow...

LOL....here's your answer. Oddly enough, it was also in your post.

Fact: A group of rabbits is called a herd.

And leener, don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes now and then. *hugs*

LOL

Thanks all. Your much easier on me then I am on myself.

Photonut..I know. Slap me. After al I have been through. Just goes to show how messed up food is in my life.

No, I haven't had a fill yet. In fact, today was my first day of solids. Is it normal to have it feel a little weird when you first eat solids? What I mean is, I do feel more full than with mushies, thank heavens, but it almost feels like food is stuck in there, like I ate a brick and it's laying in the tippy top of my stomach.

You telling me that chocolate bunny is stuck? LOL. Hey take PhotoNut's advice and get busy following protocol here. Tomorrow is another day. No more chocolate Easter bunnies....perhaps one jelly bean and call it a day.

ROFL

No, the bunny went down fine...(figures)

It was my first dinner of solid food that feels stuck. I had "fake pork ribs" It's vegetarian soy BBQ pork.

Maybe I should make a thread...:-p

LMBO :pound: Sounds like good advice to me. You know, chocolate does release a chemical in our brain....the same chemical released during sex. Leener ~ My dietitian recommended a Viactiv to curb the need for chocolate, have you tried it? Has anyone tried it? I'm preband, but can relate to eating a chocolate bunny.....banded or not.

Tomorrow is a new day and you are strong!! Take the reins and hold on tight!!

:uwelcome:

Cheers to the bunny....NOW START OVER TOMORROW AND MAKE BETTER CHOICES!!!! In the mean time stop beating yourself up so bad!!! You will have off days and you will feel bad about them....but being banded really helps with the bad days being few and far between in comparison to how I use to eat!!! Be proud you are banded and that you are human and will make mistakes but get up and try again!!! Herad for your goal and you will get there!!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
