Die hard. I'm on day two of the preop diet and it has been ok today I guess. But earlier a coworker was handing out key lime pie bars and I was focused on work. She asked if I wanted one, I said yes and kept working. She set it on my desk and moved on. Well why did I say yes? I had no intentions of eating that. I just didn't think. Programmed response: Do you want (fill in the blank) YES! Ok so I did not eat that bar. I have it to a coworker who was eying it bc it was the last one. I joked and told her that I saved it for her....

I've got to stop saying yes to food. Just say NO to food :D

After 3 1/2 yrs with my lapband, I usually make a whole sandwich, even tho I've NEVER been able to eat more than half. Why don't I just make a half? Old Habits, you're right! Thank goodness my dog luvs people food!

This is just one of the old habits that you will learn to break. It is amazing on this journey just how many "old habits" I have / had!

You can still make a whole sandwich & just wrap the other half for the next day! That's what I do now just to eat a half sandwich for lunch. The next day, my lunch is already made!

I love leftovers now. I think its awesome when I order an appetizer at a restaurant and I can have it for 2 or 3 meals.

Everytime I go to a restaurant I order a meal. I can never eat even 1/8 of the meal. I'm learning to order from the kids menu but even then, I still can only eat a little bit.

I still order a whole meal bc I always want the fish or something off the menu but I feel so wasteful! I need to find some a la carte items!

Yeah, I always order off the regular menu too. Never have used my WLS Restaurant Card they gave me. The kids menu has crap on it usually (cept Olive Garden - there it's wonderful!). I usually eat 1/4 to 1/3 of the meal and save the rest for the next 2-3 meals. I usually get sick of it by the 3rd day tho and toss it.

I am wrapping up the other halves now. My dog was diagnosed with severe food allergies so she can't have scraps anymore. Now she actually eats her dog food! I don't usually enjoy refrigerated bread tho. Thats why the dog got it most of the time.

Does anyone think pickles are a BA idea on preop. 5 calories a spear of course not fried. They are cucumbers after all. I can have two cups veggies a day...just wondering if a pickle is bad. I can call my surgeons office tomorrow too. I bet they have heard it all ...lol

The thing to worry about is the sodium, and a slight possibility of the carbs being a concern if they're sweet pickles.

I tell the guys at work to keep their food porn to themselves... So I don't get the donut, but I get to give them a ration of crap. I think it's a fair trade :P

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
