I confess...

1. I expect to be a slow loser

2. I expect my relationship to get better after my self esteem improves

3. I dont want my kids to remember they had a fat mom. They are one and three.

4. I'm afraid to fail at this.

5. This was the best decision of my life.

I confess..

I ate a decent size piece of cake today...and almost barfed.

I didnt get my husband anything good for his 40th bday (no relation to cake).

Love that people are finally seeing the weightloss. Honestly i think it has to do with some new bras ;)

Oh...and i miss my bluemoon beer.

I confess-----

I'm scared to death about having surgery

I don't know if I have what it takes to have this

I confess that I have thought that I get irritated when people say that I didnt need the surgery

I confess that my recovery has been slow and I feel like an underachiever when I hear stories of people who are at work within 5 days post op (I am 3 wks out and still feel like crap)

I confess that at this point, more than losing weight I want to go back to my normal life (no post op pain, sleep well, etc)

I confess that I am afraid to fall in love with someone who wouldnt have given me the time of day pre weight loss

I confess that I really want to wear a bikini

I confesa that for the first time in my life, I have no sex drive whatsoever

I confess I haven't been home in a year, and I'm going in a few weeks.

I confess I'm looking forward to seeing the shock on friends and family's faces as I've lost 85 pounds since they last saw me.(Some of it pre-surgery, I'm 8 months out)

I confess I'm also strangely at the same time nervous and shy of these reactions.

1. I confess that I never have gotten in all my fluids' date=' Protein, and Vitamins on the same day.

2. I confess that I haven't been to the gym since June.

3. I confess that I enjoy a few cocktails per month.

4. I confess that I like the look on people's faces that I have seen since surgery.

5. I confess that before surgery I was in such a deep lonely depression that I didn't think I deserved to live.

Dang that felt good!![/quote']

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who was deeply depressed after surgery. I was sleeved on Monday and its now Thursday and I see the light! Well a shimmer maybe. I'm still sore as all hell.

I confess 31 days post op, 42lbs down, I am enjoying the feeling of my slacks and pants sliding off my @$$. For some reason it amuses me. Not a great look but it gives me a kick!

I confess to being a little fanatical about working out every day.

I confess to thinking this is the best thing I have done for myself and as a cash patient, it was worth every penny!

I confess I don't think I eat enough and even though it doesn't bother me, I feel I should eat more.

I confess I had a bite of a friends Five Guys burger yesterday (delish!) and it was all I needed to remind myself there is no reason to eat like that any more. It would literally take me 6 days to eat one of their little cheeseburgers! I find that amazing.

  • 7 months later...
I confess that I wish I could have eaten Mexican or Chinese take away badly today! I confess that I wish I could drink my coke zero like I used to because I drank more then and just get annoyed with trying to get my fluids in. I confess I still haven’t left my house on my own I only leave when someone will drive me to my destination. I confess I have eaten chips (us kind not uk kind crisps to us) not whole bags like 3 pringles' date=' but I did get a packet of cheese curls ate 4 and sucked all the cheese flavour off the rest and tossed the soggy mush in the bin (time of the month I was always a starchy person its still the same!) I confess I am sad my bust is disappearing at a very fast rate and I kinda hate them right now.[/quote'] lmbo I just did this with the hot cheese curls sucked all the flavor out n threw the mush away on about 10 of them I just couldn't take it anymore lol

I confess that I thought wls was the easy way out, there is nothing easy about it

I confess that I still see an almost 300lb woman in the mirror and I worry that will never change

I confess I drink while I eat sometimes. But no matter what I refuse to eat again for at least 3 hours

I confess I miss cosmopolitans, they are too sweet for me

I never thought I would say this, but I love the gym.

I confess too that I think about food way more than I want to. I confess that I don't exercise as much as I should. I confess that I drink Sonic caffeinated several times a week and love every drink of it. I confess that I weigh myself every day.......at least once. I confess that I'm never hungry and sometimes eat snacks because I'm craving something. I confess I spend too much time VST when I should be doing other things.

Lol! Good one referring to being on this site! Lol

  1. I confess that I am 18 mos post-op and never started exercise till I was 9 months post-op

  2. I confess that I have been eating normal food up till the day before surgery and starting four days after surgery. I've only ever had one Protein shake.

  3. I confess I don't really count calories and protein grams, I just try to eat healthily most of the time

  4. I confess that I have a coffee or two every morning -- starting from when I was still in hospital

  5. I confess that I never lost my appetite, and I'm actually glad about that.

  6. I confess that I've never vomited, slimed or gotten anything stuck

  7. I confess that there's really NOTHING I can't eat

  8. I confess that I drink wine at least once a week, sometimes more

  9. I confess that I weigh ever single day but I'm not at all fussed about the number, I just want to keep track of where I'm at

  10. I confess that this has been totally the easy way out for me, AND I'M SOOOO FINE WITH THAT. After all the crappy useless diets I've done? I deserved success.

And I confess that I look great -- and I know it. I haven't had problems thinking I still look fat. I look quite normal really.

I have had no trouble with eating ANYTHING and I am four weeks post op!

I confess that I have tried to eat my "bad" cravings in hopes that it would make me sick so I would no longer crave them. I have eaten cheeseburgers. I eat carbs more often than I should. I have eaten fried fish. They went down easy and did not make me sick. FAIL! I confess that I have started taking asprin again (as a preventative for blood clots, because I have a history of blood clots). I can't stand the puree foods. I have never gotten all my Water and protein in. I did not lose any weight weeks 2 and 3 post op, but did lose 13 pounds the last 7 days (total of 33 pounds since surgery). I weigh myself every time I walk by my scale.

You are VERY early out and if you don't try and get a handle on this now it will become harder and harder the further you are out. I have been reading here for a couple of months and it seems the the people further out can actually GAIN weight if they don't stick to healthy eating!! Scary but true!

My confession.. I still like sweets and chips, I still struggle and eat them sometimes

Edited by imfatpat

I'm not adding anything new, but what a fun thread to post on...

  1. I drink wine or a tiny shot a couple of times a week ( I include it on MFP tho)
  2. I should lift weights or some sort of strength training in addition to my walking (who has time?
  3. I want a beer soooooo bad. Carbonation really doesn't sit well with me.
  4. I use a straw!
  5. I'm unhappy that I don't want to eat the stuff I shouldn't be eating. How's that for stupid logic. It's hard to get food down. I want to want a slice of pizza, but the thought of actually eating it makes Sleevette very anxious.

I confess that I have eaten Hershey's chocolate miniatures, tortilla chips, salsa and cheddar cheese, have not exercised since July and had 2 alcoholic drinks for the first time in a LONG time and i wonder why my weight has stalled...duhhhhh
