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'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.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
