I Ate And It And I Am Not Going To Beat Myself Up!



Recommended Posts

I had a small sundae from macdonalds today' date=' no topping, and only ate about 3 of the tiny spoons worth of it. I wanted it, so I got it, I had enough to curb the craving, and stopped when I lost interest and didn't want any more. I do not feel guilty at all. Learning that want my head wants and what my tummy likes are now 2 different things.[/quote']

That is so true. I spent yesterday trying to be "bad". My head had a few ideas, I cooked them ALL, one bite of each, and my "new" taste buds and tummy didn't like anything. I gave up and had a Protein Shake and it tasted soo good. Sad huh? But then I am only 7 weeks out

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.

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

I see your point and good intentions. Don't get upset. Like someone else here said, if you see some thread you think is wrong, just roll your eyes and pass on it. At the end neither the poster or you will feel good about a comment that expresses dissaproval which such conviction. Hopefully all of us that have cheated at some point will not suffer for it long term for it. Right? Sending good wishes your way :)

It's obvious you didn't work out.... You are here confessing like a murderer ' date='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.[/quote']

Wow that's not very nice! Let's be adults, and kind to one another were all here for support

I myself am afraid to cheat! I feel if I cheat I might not be able to control myself and I might over endulge! So I stick with SF popsicles or fudgesicles! Don't get me wrong I've wanted to eat chips, those were a big down fall for me. I've always been a salty more then sweet! But lately it's been harder and harder to stay away from those foods you know you shouldn't eat, like potatoe chips, brownies, birthday cake! But so far I have managed I keep reminding myself why I did this and what my goal is!

Last week I almost died having this surgery. I'm still feeling like a total fool who risked everything to be thin again. So I read threads like this thinking rather negative things I guess. I think the "offending" comment was actually quite well said. Bully for you now go work it off....in a nice way actually. You can't support someone who is sliding into their old world again. If she had said she had One Bar I'd think that it was no big deal, but she had two.....two nice fat slider food bombs.

My doctor warned me about the two year mark. People who hit it fit and completely changed in their poor life style choices stay healthy. But those who learn to manipulate their magic sleeve and fall back into the old ways are throwing this opportunity away. Treats are fine....but it is not "normal" to have two bars! My advice would be to remember to pay for your treat (evil exercise) and next time you feel the need to repeat an old habit I'd suggest you do so if you must...but absolutely do NOT go beyond a normal portion (1 bar in this case). And for gads sake don't eat all night long.

It's not worth it. A real treat would have been a small hagendas scoop or some frozen yoghurt ONE SCOOP! Not two semi real ice cream bars wrapped in a fake cookie crust. :).

A cake pop is a piece of cake on a stick - like a Popsicle. It's kind of a new thing I think. I hadn't heard of it until a few months ago.

I don't get the whole cake pop thing. My old boss used to pick them up from Starbucks for us all the time, I really didn't care for them.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
