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 (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 am over this liquid phase.
I love food.
I can’t wait to eat “moderately”.
I’m excited to start exercising, surprisingly.
I jus want a chicken wing and some a slice of pizza lol

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.

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

I confess that I need to stay away from sugar and StarBucks Frappacinos and eat healthier food. No breads, no chips, no candy, nada..... So sucks. This is me whinning. I apologize for it sincerely.

* I eat dark chocolate morsals with greek yogurt

* Sometimes I use a straw

* I down play my weight loss around jealousy prone friends

* I use pure maple syrup and raw honey while cooking

* I think about sex way too often now because it's fun again

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.
