1. I confess that I think about food way more than I should.

2. I confess that I drink caffeinated coffee on occasion

3. I confess that I have sucked on a tiny peice of chocolate and let it melt in my mouth because I'm on soft foods

4. I confes that I have cried until I can't cry anymore about how much I miss my old eating habits

5. I confess that I secretly am angry when my husband eats a big plate of carbs and fat....

I confess that I have a secret little crush on my surgeon!

Surely we can drink alcohol again cant we ?

Yea we can drink alcohol

I confess...

1. I really want an ice cold Diet Coke.

2. I'm not as afraid to look in the mirror anymore.

3. I find it irritating that my guy friends have started asking me out and people in general are nicer and meaner.

4. I miss having a full wardrobe (but I've already donated 4 garbage bags of clothes to GoodWill).

5. I feel exhausted all the time and do not workout as much as I know I should.

I confess that I am still mentally addicted to food

I am still trying to cope with the fact that I'll never eat certain foods again (subs, a plate of just pasta, etc...)

I need to eat waaaaaay more protein than I currently do, er, actually, I need to eat more in general than I already do. If I get 2 meals in/day it's amazing.

I haven't told anyone except my husband and mother in law about the sleeve, yet after losing 80 lbs, not a single person (other than the 2 of them) has commented about my drastic weight loss, and it has seriously messed with my head.

Oh, and #5: I drink diet soda 2-3 times/week. I feel guilty doing it, but I need the caffeine and do not like coffee.

Actually many doctors require it as well. I'm self pay and had to have one just as all of my doctors patients do.

That said, of course I wasn't honest. I wasn't going to go into abuse as a child etc because that isn't my problem and I don't want to talk to a stranger about it.

Amen sister!

I confess that I have a secret little crush on my surgeon!

Mine is cute, but he must be 7 feet tall

Sometimes people don't want to say anything because they don't want to offend you -- like, they thought you were fat & ugly before, but you look great now!! -- that sort of thing.

There was a woman at work who lost a bunch of weight, but I would never feel comfortable saying anything about it because why would anything at work depend on her weight?? It seems inappropriate.

That being said, I totally can see where you're coming from. after 80 lbs I will want some stinking props, please. I lost 10 so far on my liquid preop and the compliments can start flooding in any time!!!

Oh my goodness!!! Me too!!!! He's so nice and adorable! LoL! Here I thought I would take that secret to my grave....

Climb on up lol.I like tall men despite being only 5'3 myself

Oh my goodness!!! Me too!!!! He's so nice and adorable! LoL! Here I thought I would take that secret to my grave....

Lol. I've even told my husband. He's not even super good looking or anything. I think it might have to do with the fact that he treats obese people with respect and he gave me something that no one else has ever given me... He's gonna change my life! (I'm only 3 weeks out)

1. I confess that I'm not perfect HOWEVER I'm still at goal living my thin and fit dream.

2. I confess that I don't always follow all the sleever rules HOWEVER I'm 2 years post op and I'm healthier than I've ever been in my life.

3. I confess that I do eat sugar and carbs sometimes HOWEVER I'm regular in the bathroom.

4. I confess that I secretly would still love to get smaller HOWEVER I love the way I look in pictures and in the mirror.

5. I confess that I no longer worry about what I'm eating as much HOWEVER it's nice to constantly obsess about what I'm eating.

Enjoy life people, because that's what this is really all about. In the end, only love and family really matter. Blessings!

Haha! You can see who my surgeon is? I don't think I can see everything on my phone app. But yes...the weirdest crush. I think I had a dream about him.

We've talked about this before. Some people just get offended. I don't because I know I looked like crap and am loving the compliments. I've even had poeople ask me how much weight I've lost. My boss asked me that. I don't care. I'll tell anybody. If they think poorly of me for some reason, it's not on me.
