I confess that I ate half of a chocolate chip cookie today- and it was divine.

I confess that I weigh myself everyday and get aggravated that I have weighed 180.9 and then 180.4 and then 180.2 and I just want to see 179!!!

i confess that my teenage daughter's laughed their asses off because my underwear hangs off my ass 😂😂

I confess that I am a little scared of food so I am not getting enough calories each day:(

i confess that I secretly smile when I no longer hear my pants sound like they are going to start a fire when I walk from my thighs rubbing together:)

I don't (can't?) see that much of a change in the mirror.

I am happier then I have ever been.

I eat chips and chocolate.

I am angry about having loose skin.

I am so excited about the future.

I confess I weigh daily even though I know I shouldn't.

I confess I "modified" the puréed stage to include more real food. HOWEVER I still lost weight and never had any issues with the foods I ate.

I confess that I'm elated when people say I look good, but hate it when they over do it. It's becomes awkward and uncomfortable.

I confess I'm thoroughly shocked at the progress I've made. Granted I knew weight loss should be quick, but never expected it this quick. I've lost 70 lbs overall, but 37 lbs since Oct 30th surgery day.

I confess I worry about if/when I reach my goal, and how well I'm able to maintain the weight. I feel a lot more confident with having the surgery but it's sooooo easy to fall back into poor choices/habits.

I confess that I too modified the Puréed stage. I worry about how its going to go inn the next months. I haven’t lost as much as I want. I confess I am keeping pictures of me a secret so I can get a bigger effect from my family when I see them in June.

I confess I drink caffeinated coffee

I confess I still skip Breakfast and replace it with Protein

I confess I weigh myself every single day

I confess I don't get to exercise as often as I'd like

I confess I've lost 48 lbs and still see a bigger me

Bonus Confession

I really feel uncomfortable when someone comments on my weight loss. It's very awkward for me.

I have the same issue when people comment on my weighloss especially when they ask how much weight I've lost. While my family and close friends know I had surgery I don't tell every random person in my life for I always feel like a fraud when they ask what I'm doing and I say diet and exercise.

No way guys dont feel like a fraud .. of course it's up to everyone if they want to tell others About having the surgery but im ok with telling. I look at the surgery as a weight lose tool, its no way an easy fix or a cheat. This surgery has been one of the hardest things I've tried in my weight loss journey and I'm proud to say as of today I've lost 55 lbs. I also still see a bigger me but I can still tell a diff when I look in a mirror or try on clothes now. I can't wait to lose another 150 lbs. Good luck everyone

This is a pretty fun topic

1. I still haven't lost my sweet tooth, I just keep it to small bites.

2. I am still having a hard time adjusting my portion size to the reality of the size of my stomach. My dog is the beneficiary of So Much Wasted food. And he keeps me from overeating. I feel guilty about 'wasting' food, but if I'm feeding him, it's not wasted right?

3. Every day I struggle to make the right choices, but I do weigh myself daily and accept the responsibility that any uptick is the direct result of a poor choice the day before (even if that is not true, it's my delusion and I'm sticking to it.)

4. Part of the issue is that in 5 months I have yet to experience a full on episode of 'dumping syndrome.' I think I've had very mild/partial reactions to heavy carb/sweets, but nothing like what I was expecting. I have to rely entirely on my own willpower to make the right choices.

5. I struggle with Water content, Protein content, and getting enough exercise. I know that I don't want to be someone who regains all of my weight and I try to be mindful that this weight loss experience won't last forever.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
