1: there are more than 5 confessions!!

2: I drink wine on occasion. And craft beer!! Yummy!!

3: I hate to cook so I eat out a lot. I only take a few bites and it usually lasts 2 meals and then I toss it out.

4: waste way to much money on food!!

5: I have bags of clothes that I can't throw away because I'm scared ill start to gain again and then have to go shopping for more clothes.

6: I love dressing sexy and all the attention I get from guys that wouldn't give me the time o day 4 month ago.

7: I don't drink enough Water, about 48 daily only if I mix it with apple juice.

8: I have dreams about eating like my former self. Vivid dreams, I think I can smell the food in my sleep!! LoL

9: I walk in grocery stores and fantasize about recipes. I pick out food put it in my cart and walk and look at stuff I can't eat anymore. When I get it out of my system I get a frozen weight watchers dinner and put all the food back. I know weird!!

I'm down 60lbs in 4 months I work out 4-5 days a week and I would I love my sleeve! I have my goal in sight and even when I mess up I start each day with so much hope. More than I have ever had in a long time.

That felt good to get it off my chest with others that would understand. Thanks for putting up with my crazy long post.

Oh yeah, I weigh myself over 10times a day. Every time I see a scale I'm compelled and can't stop till I either validate or beat myself up for what I see. I know I have issues!!

1. I confess that I am afraid of losing too much weight. I feel so protected by my fat, finally being able to see my collar bones reminds me that the weight is coming off. Plus, my dad points it out. A lot. SMH, I can't win, I'm first too fat, now to thin, what next? My heads too big?

2. I confess that I enjoy the attention from men that I get now a little too much. I would flirt with a pole if it had a penis.

3. I confess that I am afraid of finally being visible. When I was 300+ pounds, I could walk into a room and everyone would ignore me. I now walk into a room and I am greeted and pulled into conversations.

4. I confess that I often get depressed over the fact that the same people I knew preop treat me a lot better now. It really hurts to have the harsh reality of people treat you better based on the way you look thrown in my face.

5. I confess that I drink a lot. I am afraid of crossing my food addiction to alcohol addiction. When I go out, i tend to have the "go hard or go home" mentality and keep up with my peers as far as drinks go. However, I am drunk with 2 drinks. My peers- 5-7 drinks. A lot of times I get blacked out drunk and it's starting to freak me out as I've made some stupid decisions while drunk.

6. I confess that I monitor what I eat really closely and I have a fear of developing an eating disorder. The signs are all there.

I have dreams about food too. Had a very vivid dream about Fritos and Pepsi! Also had a dream I swallowed gum.....

[*]I confess that this journey is both harder and easier than I thought it would be.

[*]I confess that in public situations I finagle things to make it look like I've eaten more than I have.

[*]I confess that it makes me sad that I might never be able to consume a large sandwich with big ol' slices of homemade bread again (like I need it).

[*]I confess that I occasionally use a straw.

[*]I confess that I haven't told anyone about my sleeve and I don't plan on it. I don't need your negativity or opinions.

I'm glad to hear you haven't told anyone. I'm not telling anyone either, I felt like I was the only one.

I love this confession post!

I confess I have told nobody about my sleeve (other than husband, children, brother and one close friend)

I confess I'm lucky if I exercise once a week

I confess I'm starting to eat junk food at night

I confess that I'm so afraid of gaining back the 65 lbs I've lost

I confess I'm afraid I won't lose these last 18 lbs to reach goal

I confess I never dreamed I would fit in a size 10 jeans, but that's what I wear now!

I confess I walk past a mirror and now I smile!

Now that I've confessed I can work on those negative things so I can realize my goals!!!

I confess that I'll be 1 year out in December and I just started exercising.

I confess that I actually like the energy high that exercising is giving me.

I confess that even though I have lost 135 lbs I'm frustrated with how much I weigh.

I confess that I hate my skin...I have so much extra skin that I'm not comfortable wearing clothes that fit.

I confess that I have been eating candy corn and I went and bought Halloween candy yesterday...all my old faves but I'm not opening them til 7pm Thursday!

I confess that:

1. Ten days postop I ate (melted) a snack Reese cup;

2. I have become a nutrition a*****e with my poor (and healthy/fit) wife, and made her start using MFP;

3. I throw my fat clothes in the trash rather than give them away;

4. I feel superior to my fat friends;

5. I don't care one whit about never drinking alcohol again, but I started recreationally smoking (not tobacco) ASAP. It calms my stomach, makes me NOT hungry, and motivates me to exercise. Don't knock it until you try it;

6. Even though I've told everyone about the surgery, I'm not sharing/posting any photos because I want to milk EVERY drop of WOW factor from the first time they see me.

I just had a scrambled egg and I am 7 days. On day 11 it will be on my plan. I was just so darn hungry.

No worried Marielaine. Day 7 is when I ate food as well. I had mashed potatoes and gravy. Just do liquids as much as possible and when the hunger happens (and it DOES for some of us) eat small amounts at a time and chew it to practically liquid before swallowing! I never had the luxury of not feeling the hunger pangs...

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
