Eating and drinking at the same time? Fill up on sliders for dinner? Have an adult beverage too many or too soon? WHO CARES?! Got a confession that's not sleeve related? That's OK, feel free to confess it!

This is your place to confess without fear of judgement or flaming, so let's see what you've got!

I'll start us off... I am NOT a morning person and require at least two hours awake before I can be considered fully functional. Every morning when I get to work (8AM) I spend at least an hour screwing around on the interwebs and checking email before I even *think* about working

LOL Lilee! I am guilty of that as well! But not every morning...sometimes it's in the afternoon. I also drink 16oz of coffee every morning although that's more than I should have.

I drink with every single meal or I end up with this horrible choking sensation.

I can not wait until I'm healed up a little more because there's a plate of chicken Alfredo at Olive Garden calling my name. No, I won't eat the breadsticks. Yes- I will eat the hell out of the Pasta.

Well, as many bites as my sleeve will let me have anyway.

I cheat on food choices more than I care to admit and it's slowing my weight loss down,,I'll throw my own flame,,,Shame on me! (seriously)

Sorry girly, you're not even allowed to flame yourself

lol this just made me giggle..... I ALWAYS eat and drink at the same time. Boo!

I've allowed Dr. Pepper back in my life and I have no idea how I'm going to evict it. :/

Girl Scout cookies. Need I say more.

I just ate a stupid cookie calling my name from a tin as I was walking by! Someone from my husband's work brought them back from Hawaii for us and they are so delicious! Those are devil cookies! LOL :wub:

I don't have a sleeve confesion b/c I'm not sleeved until the end of the month. But when I had my lapband I certainly knew ways I could "eat around the band" if I wanted to. So a non-sleeve confession, since those were allowed too.

I like to watch horrible TV. My DVR is full of crap TV like Real Housewives, Pawn Stars, MTV (challenge shows, True Life, Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant), Supernatural, Jersey Shore, Doomsday Preppers, Vampire Diaries, Glee, etc.

Between my job, extracurriculuar activities, etc. my brain does not get a lot of down time.

When I come home, I want to turn off. I don't want to think. I don't want to strategize. I want to disengage. And I've found that crap TV is the best way to do that. It's the only thing I've found that requires no brain effort at all. Most people who know me are a bit shocked to see my TV list.

I have a sip or three of liquids when I eat - Not always, but sometimes. I cannot stand being thirsty. I certainly don't chug. It's hard because since I eat so slowly, one meal blends into another. I also have a few sips of club soda mixed with fruit juice on occasion.

It hasn't stalled me at all so far. I got the 3 week stall, but that is a Water retaining, glycogen issue. I have been losing about .7 pounds a day.

LMAO! - There wasn't a question in here - it's a Flame Free Friday Confession, I was just giving examples

ive been exhausted for a week now due to the flu. This morning i picked up a 5 hour energy shot and chugged it down as fast as my sleeve would let me. I have had no caffeine nothing "bad" since my surgery but i just needed to get going, even though i know these arent good for me and who the hell really knows what exactly are in them.

My weakness is Pasta and Mexican food. Haven't had the Mexican yet, other than a tablespoon of salsa mixed in cottage cheese (YUM!) macaroni and cheese used to be my downfall. Before I was married, I was lazy. Could make the whole box and eat it out of the pot because I hate cleaning up after cooking and doing dishes. My husband came home the other night having picked up food from our favorite place that serves a la carte items: rotisserie chicken, steamed veggies, twice baked potatoes, and mac n' cheese. He got the smallest serving sizes since he knew I'd only eat part of the chicken and some veggie. I couldn't resist and ate THREE noodles of the mac n' cheese at the end of my meal. Tastes so good, but immediately felt that tightness in the tummy of "no more!"

That's exactly what I hoped my sleeve would do!

In order to break my stall I am going extremely low on calories. Sometimes only 200-300 a day. Totally not healthy and I can't keep doing this, but something got to give.
