1 I confess sometimes in afraid I can eat way too much, even though I know it's a fraction of what I used to eat, but still more then I expected.

2 I confess I still don't get enough fluids in every day.

3 I confess I've been grazing way too much the past few days. These holidays are killing me!

4 I confess eat way too fast sometimes. I've slimed a few times and I know it's because I still scarf down my food a lot. I don't know what I can't stop that!

5 I confess I AM proud of myself. Almost 40lbs down in a month and a half- almost 60 total. I know I could never have done that in this time frame with out the sleeve!

I confess that I don't know what you mean when you say that you "slimed"...what is that? Maybe I've done it!

People refer to sliming as that stuck feeling you get in your chest, and then saliva kind of builds up in your throat- hence the 'slime' lol it's a bit nasty. It happens to me if I eat too fast or don't chew enough. I LOVE deli turkey, and eat it a lot for lunch but that is one food that pretty much always makes me slime :(

thanks for clearing that up for me! ;)

I confess that I do eat too fast sometimes.

I confess that the worst feeling I've had since surgery is after eating a sweet potato cooked in our fireplace....not sure if it was the actual sweet potato, the butter, or eating too fast that made me miserable.....felt like I was choking for about 45 minutes.

I was sleeved on the 10th and...

1. I kick myself for not waiting until after the holiday

2. I am having some major mood swings that i think are tied to my lack of crab legs and red lobster

3. I think my marriage will change for the worse because of this surgery.

4. I look at my chest to see if they are getting smaller -i swear that they are smaller:(

5. I am scared to go to work and hear someone say -did they cancel the surgery cause you look the same

Why do you feel your marriage will change for the worse? I have seen nothing but gains in my marriage as i have let go of so much bitterness and anti social tendencies. I hope everything works out for you.

Ok, I'm in. Here comes a smoking confession...

I confess that I smoked on the way to the hospital morning of surgery and quit for the next 48 hours.

I also confess that my surgeon requires a pre-op urine nicotine test and my teenage daughter passed!

I love to smoke and have no plans to quit!

BTW, I am fully aware of the risks involved in case anyone feels the need to remind me :)

There are so many problems in my marriage and i put up with a lot because of how i look ---note the profile pic. I allowed my weight to be an excuse for settling for someone to mistreat me.

2. That I eat way too fast.

3. I feel yucky after I eat, probably because of #2

4. I wish I was losing faster.

5. That 1/4 cup of mushie food is not much! Lol

I confess:

Fudge and xmas Cookies go down just fine :(

I have yet to get in all my prot, Water, Vitamins

I have yet to exercise seriously other than dog walks

I was sick for two days after eating McDonalds bfast burrito and then a donut

I'm bummed my clothes still fit, albeit baggy

I'm super crabby to my husband ..he's on my last nerve!! I think it's because i cant go get something to eat to stifle those feelings...and this has me a bit worried

I cannot wait for summer to have people's jaws drop when they see me again. No one knows i had surgery.

I feel let down when people dont notice my wt loss

I wish i could stay on liquids rather than figuring out & stressing about real food

I am glad that you are aware of this. I was heavy my whole life and didn't date until I was 24. At that point, I got it in my head that I could be happy alone (not married, not in a relationship) and as soon as I started thinking that way, I met my husband who has loved me skinnier and loves me now heavier and doesn't care how I look. You definitely deserve to have someone who loves you regardless of how you look. But, remember, you have to love "yourself" first. Sounds dorky, but it's true.

I confess I saw a picture of an American burger creation with about 10 patties, 50 slices of bacon, and same again of cheese - and all I could think of was how much I wanted to sink my teeth into it's greasy goodness. A serious case of eyes too big for stomach! :) Lol And I know better than to even ATTEMPT

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
