I feel the need to let you know that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it. We are human and we often fail ourselves. Wake up tomorrow and commit to yourself again!!!

Thank you! I am happy to say that I made it yesterday without any junk food/candy! One day at a time is all my brain can take- better eating goals to come! I did set a fitness goal!

Ok, it's been a while since I've been on here. But I'm feeling the need to confess so here goes...

I confess that I'm way more arrogant than I ever thought possible

I confess that I see myself as one hot momma (it took pics to convince me I wasn't before weight loss, lol)

I confess I'm addicted to beef Jerky and I justify the unhealthiness of it by the great Protein amount

I confess that sex is way better now!

I confess that I'm 11 months out and drink alcohol several times a week even though I signed a contract that I would wait a year

I confess that I love my cheese puffs and dont even feel guilty about it

I confess that I don't say it out loud but I am beyond thrilled that I now share clothes with my 14 year old daughter

I confess that while folding clothes I hold up my new panties and just grin at how tiny they look

Last but not least I confess that this is by far the best decision I've ever made, better than when I said 'I do' to my husband!!!

Whew, that felt great, thx

I'm still pre-op, (surgery is in 10 days!), but I've got a few confessions...

1. One reason I'm going to Mexico to have my surgery is because I didn't think I'd pass the psyke eval.

2. I'm more afraid of the flight down there than anything about the surgery.

3. I'm not telling my dad, or any of my extended family if I can help it.

4. I'll be in Mexico while my 4th baby brother is being born.

5. Sometimes I think I'm too young for this (18), but I didn't go to my junior or senior prom because I didn't feel pretty enough to wear a dress, and I don't want to let my weight take any more of my life away from me.

6. I've been weighing myself several times a day since I started pre-op. I'm down 10 pounds, but I'm pretty sure most of it is Water.

7. I ate an entire large pizza the day before my pre-op started.

8. I'm terrified of loose skin and losing my hair.

9. I've been so focused on my upcoming surgery that I've been slacking in my college classes.

10. My biggest hope for this is that I'll finally be pretty enough to attract a mate.

I confess that I too would like to find a mate. My hubby died in 2005. Hoping that I will get skinny enough to feel attractive enough to actually find a new soul mate. :unsure:

Ok confession time...

I have gotten completely obsessed with the gym and weighing mySelf. (I've lost 130 btw)

I eat whatever I want in moderation. I'm in the gym so much that it burns off right Away

I love the attention I get. Reminds me of when I played football in college.

I hated throwing out all my old jeans. It's like burning money. I'm so upset

I feel constipated a lot. I started taking Metamucil to regulate myself, but Jesus. I go to th washroom like 3 times a week.

At my heaviest April 2013. 320

November 2nd 2013 195

I love this thread. I am a little over two months (8-27). And I confess..

- this is harder than I ever thought it would be

- I wish I could eat the way I used to

- since loosing the weight I haven't been hit on once..

- I just now jot rid of all my bigger clothes because I am afraid I will just go back and have to re buy all those

- I eat things I know I probably shouldn't

- posting things in this forum is kinda of scary because of fear of judgment

- I drink alcohol and caffeine

- I am more self conscious now than I ever have been

- I still see the fat girl I was

- I haven't been to the gym

- my body grosses me out

- sex now.. Hurts

- I snack more than I should

- I still think this was the best thing I have ever done for me

- peoples comments about my weight loss makes me uncomfortable

- my family isn't that supportive

My name is Olivia and I am sixteen years old. I was sleeved in June of this year and it was the best decision of my life. My surgeon told me that because I am so young i will have much less excess skin and my body will be more receptive to the surgery in almost every way. I am positive that you will do great and i wish the very best for you. Don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions or just want to talk :)

I'm pre-op but I think it's important to get things off your chest:

1. I have told people I'm single because I'm too busy to date. The truth is I'm ashamed of my weight and don't want to face rejection.

2. I'm super excited to have an intimate relationship again. It's been 7 years and I'm 28, I feel so sad about this.

3. I am scared to death to be thin, I hide behind my weight to not be outgoing.

4. I don't exercise, at all. I feel this is going to be a challenge for me.

5. I love soda, I'm heartbroken I have to give it up. I think I'm being naive how hard this will be for me.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
