Ive started getting tempted by some foods I prepare for my family. Since surgery you couldnt pay me to eat something off the plan. The past few days Ive been sneaking a chip here a bite of a chocolate covered granola bar there. I even ate a half of a burger at a BBQ today. Hope I can get back on track tomorrow. I really think I'm still insecure from all of the diets I have failed at in the past. For some reason I cant get it through my head this is not a diet. Don't get me wrong Im working out 6 days a week, going to the gym, keeping calories between 700-800 and getting all protien and Water in most days. Its just everynow and then I have a day where I could go CRAZY! I'm scared Ill fall off the wagon and stay off.

you should look at it as more of a lifestyle change then a "plan" most of us have been dieting most of our life, and probably could stay on a diet or a "plan" with our eyes closed....I dont see anything wrong with a chip here or a Hershey kiss there, as long as you journal and hold yourself accountable..

Wow thats very reassuring from someone who has lost 98 lbs. Im guessing your a little ways out from your surgery and you trust your sleeve now. Im trying to learn to.

I also have a fear of falling off the wagon and it's been a hindrance in my maintenance. My weight is were I want it to be but I keep losing because I can't seem to add in the calories... I'm so worried if I take a bite off plan that I will lose control and start pigging out. These changes take time and its probably best to take it one day at a time!

      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!
