Just had a pre-op ooops. Ugh.



Recommended Posts

I was snacking on Cookies that were supposedly "diet" while at a meeting. I had 8 of them knowing that it was too much. Got back to the car and googled the brand. There is 100 calories PER COOKIE! How the hell is that a "diet" cookie? I feel like my whole day is ruined now.

Yikes on the bad labelling of those cookies! Dang! Don't stress it though. We all make mistakes, no one is perfect, and if you beat yourself up, you'll only feel bad. Just say oops, and move on. You are doing great with your loss so far, so keep it up!

I agree, let it go! Do not use that as a way to screw up the entire day <- I used to do this. It's easy to get in the mindset of, "It doesn't matter what my day of eating looks like because I already screwed it all up with 800 cals on Cookies. What's the point, I'll start fresh tomorrow. Yada, yada, yada. Don't do it! You are doing great- 84 pounds is remarkable. Don't stress! :)

Don't beat yourself up. You thought the Cookies were diet. I intentially ate some pretzel bites 5 days before my surgery. I felt bad, but those pretzel bites were EXTREMELY good. I still lost 3 pounds in less than a week on my modified diet. Had I not had the pretzel bites it may have been 3 and a half. Anyway, my surgery went well and I have been on liquid for 13 days. I have no regrets about that last hurrah! :D

The serving size was 3 Cookies. I want to know how 300 calories worth of cookies is considered diet? I meet with my NUT tomorrow. Now I am scared for my weigh in.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
