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 don't know?? I thought you were hacking my profile...

Lol

It does look that way but I'm not

I wish I was that smart.. I can't even figure out this phone app!!

Sorry to hear that Shane. I don't know you but I hope it gets better. Perhaps some fresh air and deep breaths?

[Edit]

Sorry to hear that...hope your day gets better

*1*- I can still(and do) drink/tolerate alcohol/wine like I use to before surgery.

*2*- I eat whatever I want, whenever I want (except bread and carbo drinks) I just do it in small portions.

*3*- I stopped taking all my vitamins due to cost.

*4*-I almost never work out.

*5* I feel guilty not telling my overweight adult daughters about my surgery.

I confess: I eat too much still.

I confess: I drink sonic diet cranberry limeade

I confess: I don't count anything( Protein or calories)

I confess: I am a great Vitamin taker & Water drinker.

I confess: to eating 4 donuts last week... In one day.

I confess: I am figuring out I will work harder than my sleeve if I want to lose weight.

I confess that I gained 5 lbs over the holidays. That I fell back into a pattern of grazing. That I eat chocolate everyday again. And that I am finding it nearly impossible to get my head back in the right place to continue my journey. And all of this is depressing the hell out of me which just makes me want more bad food.

1. I never followed my 2 week pre-op diet and might have actual gained weight.

2. I quit smoking 2 weeks before surgery but cheated at least two dozen times in 14days. Twice, 2 days before surgery.

3. I ate a 10oz steak sandwich, medium rare, and a taco Soup the night before my surgery @ the Marriot in Mexico.

4. I followed my post-op diet up until day 7. I am now eating deli meats, cheeses, eggs and tuna 8 days post op.

5. With the above said, I do feel a little guilty because my surgery went better than expected... Minimal pain, incision healing very well and no need for pain meds 3 days post-op. I have no issues getting in all my Water and Protein 4 days post-op and feel I am going to be one of those guys who can eat anything I want without upsetting my sleeve. Icing on the cake is I have lost 25lbs since surgery... I am 9 days post op. I had my last smoke 2 days before surgery and have no cravings to ever start again.
