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....

Laura I think you will be just fine after a single mint' date=' at least it wasn't 6, a whole row ( guilty of eating that many at once) or a whole box. They must put something magical in those Cookies because they sure are good! This weekend was "hard" for me because of a v-day party on Saturday ( we hosted) and a b-day party on Sunday. I did pretty good at the v-day party, but did have a small lemon drop rosemary drink my wife made. Didn't hit me, I was surprised after my last wine experience. Not too bad at the b-day party. My wife put a small fork of cake (a pinch) in front of my mouth so I decided to try it it was ok, but didn't feel like I wanted any. Let me tell you, it is hard to be a good eater when married to a generous woman Ike my wife that likes to host many social events with family! I manage to say no most of the time though. Hosting parties is part of her personality and I would not ask her to stop for a moment.[/quote']

Hey Laura- I hope you read the "guilty..." text as a statement about me and not you! I can see how it might be interpreted wrong since I left off "I" in the post above. I was a real cookie monster at times before VSG.

Of course Fiddleman!! I know you would never beat up on me

I guess I worry about the cookie because for me it's a slippery slope. And at the 3 month mark on a "diet" is usually when I start to fail

Sometimes I'm scared of my MYSELF.

But today is a new day so I'm going to be on the straight and narrow.

Laura, STAY ON STRAIGHT AND NARROW! AND YOU WILL BE!!!!!

I confess I LOVE my sleeve sooo much, im ready to quit my job and travel the country singing it prasies and making followers of "THE SLEEVE"!..... BUT, gotta pay for school, house note, and 1 car note left! But when im DEBT FREE! Watch out america! Unless some wealthy team of drs wanna sponser me!!!!! (Hmmm???? )

You will do absolutely great! You are such a good contribution to this site as well.

Hehehe... I wondered if I writing a pun!

The good news is this morning all those damn Girl Scout cookies are gone (but not by my hand or mouth) how can a box last over a week with two kids and a husband ??

Thanks Fiddleman... Sometimes it's hard for me to say I'm scared too like other "newer" people.

I confess that at I drink soda occasionally. I confess I am not even close to mastering the art of eating slow, therefore every time I eat it feels like I'm swallowing a knife :-( I confess that given the limited small portions I can consume, I would just rather not eat.

I'm only in the pre op stage and have confessions. I'm TERRIFIED. I want to be healthy for me, but I wish I wouldn't have let myself get this far out of control. Not being able to have the food I want when I want it has left a void I'm not sure can ever be filled. I wish that I was (bigger) than the pressure to be thin.

Ok, here it goes:

I confess that before I started to consider WLS for myself, I held the surgery in contempt. I bad-mouthed it to the point that my best friend felt like she could not tell me she was going to do it. Of course, by that time, I had begun to consider it for myself so when she finally called me and told me she had been keeping it a secret from me, I felt like a total ass.

I confess that I also held the pre-op diet in contempt. During my six month diet, I gained a pound in month one, stayed the same in month two, lost 4 pounds in month three, lost half a pound in month four, stayed the same in month five and gained two pounds in month six.

I confess that my husband and parents were adamantly opposed to me having surgery. My father told me that the surgery was only for REALLY fat people. I told my sweet daddy that that is me. I weighed 250 lbs on a 5'2" frame. Do the math. My husband finally asked if I would still have nipples after the surgery. When I assured him I would, he came around. He has a strange sense of humor. The main reason I married him. If I hadn't met him, I would have been a dog woman the rest of my life.

I confess that deep down, i don't REALLY believe this will work for me. I just can't wrap my head around it. I was sleeved February 4,2013. I have lost 18 lbs since surgery.

Whew. That felt nice.

Sometimes I feel that way ss well...eating seems to be such an annoying chore these days. :-(

I confess that:

(I'm 1 week out)

-i regret this surgery every time I go to the bathroom, if you know what I mean.

-I ate more than my measured portion of tomato Soup yesterday (an extra 1/4 cup ish).

-the scale this morning is up two pounds and I'm tripping out about it.

-I may not be taking my full dosage of psych meds because the pills don't go down anymore.

Hi Rosie,

- I do know what you mean.

- That's no big deal.

- That's no big deal either at such an early stage, could just be Fluid retention.

- Definitely talk to your doctor about this ASAP!

Thanks! And don't worry, I have an appointment with my psychiatrist later today

I confess I feel like a failure. Sleeved April 2012 coming up on a year and I have only lost 70 pounds and not 100
