Recommended Posts

Uhmm.. who is getting snotty because it sure isn't me. And how on earth would you know when or how much i work out? Anyways' date=' that was immature so I'm done talking about it.[/quote']

It's obvious you didn't work out.... You are here confessing like a murderer ,if you did you would not be filled with remorse and need to lash out. Do you, and when your "sleeve fails"and you get converted to bypass. Come back here and let the nice ladies "support"you ,after all you deserve it.

Amazing how co signing behaviors that got us here is seen as support. But suggest exercise and you are a troll.

If we're confessing... I went to the Olive Garden with my pregnant wife for the never ending Pasta bowl. I got the angel hair and marinara and ate maybe 1/4, probably less. Tracked it on MFP. Yeah, Pasta = carbs, but it wasn't like I ate a basket of those delicious breadsticks. Ok. I had one. Which had twice as many calories in it than my pasta, but OMG was it good.

A treat now and then - be it sweet or savory - makes this journey a lot less miserable, but now and then can't be every day. That's the one thing that has changed for me and I can live with that.

Vsginnj- what have to realize is to each his own- if he/ she is ok with eating TWO ice cream sandwiches - then that's his/her life- this is not your battle or concern - just take care of yourself. And please don't let these ppl upset you... I just look at it n be like Wow... Really? Then move on!

I'm so scared to cheat, haha. I've been watching that scale go down every other day and I'm CONVINCED if I have anything sweet at all it's going to bounce back up to my original weight. (I know this isn't the case but karma has never been nice to me)

If you limit yourself from everything good you're going to go crazy and binge. I've been to a few support group meetings and more than several people have stated this. As long as you keep such things as, let's say a weekly or bi-weekly treat, you should be absolutely fine.

I'm living quasi-vicariously through you guys until I stop looking at the scale and work up the courage to visit a Coldstone. I think if I meet my mini goal I'll treat myself to a scoop!

Everything in moderation and we all are different. I can eat a few spoonfuls of potatoes and feel ok. I cannot tolerate even a few bites of Pasta or I feel sick. I have a cold treat in the form of Bryers low carb ice cream bars a few times a week and my nutritionist is ok with it. I still get my Protein in and yet will enjoy a small piece of cheese pizza with my family when we go out. I don't feel guilt and neither should any of us.

Why are some people on here so rude and nasty we are all in this together everyone knows what to eat this is a life style change but we also have to live our lives and if someone wants to eat a icecream sandwich in moderation that is fine they don't need to be beat up about it. I cannot imagine eating just Protein and not having a treat for the rest of my life. But you van rest assured I will not talk about out here since some people think they ate the judge and the jury

I don't let the negativity get to me. I just enjoy reading many of the post knowing we are all in this together and many of us are going through the same thing.

I agree, the attacking of others really needs to stop, please.

On another note, I got my sleeve to be able to eat like a normal person, not to deprive myself of things I love. Normal people eat treats, such as ice cream sandwiches. It is okay. Like the OP said, pre-sleeve, she would have ate the whole box. I am a salty/crunchy kind of gal myself. Before my surgery, I would sit down and eat a whoe bag of chips with dip. Now, I still eat chips and dips when I want it, but thanks to my sleeve, it is just a small portion like "normal" people eat and I have not sabotaged my weight loss efforts by doing so.

I snack all the time. Even have carbs ,use sugar in my caffeinated coffee and love ice cream . Last week I bought a pound of fudge on the boardwalk mmm it was so tasty!! Ok my method may be harsh but that is how I give it to myself. I respond better to a kick in the butt than a butt pat and forget not everyone needs it like that, I think my original comment was misunderstood and I reacted shamefully. I beg forgiveness to anyone I offended.

Frozen yogurt is really good' date=' and a good alternative to ice cream. I actually sometimes make my own chocolate Protein frozen yogurt. Then i get an awesome treat that i can include as one of my protein meals & i feel so spoiled lol.[/quote']

Do you mix Protein Powder into pre made sugar free low fat yogurt or make your own? Trader Joes's just came out with a 0 fat Greek-I want to add protein!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
