Don't beat yourself up. Everyone falls off of the wagon at some point. The most important thing is to get back on track an stay motivated!

Be careful with bread/doughy products - even at 6 weeks out, they're tough to "swallow!"

I feel your pain, I received a small gorgeous flour-free chocolate cake for my birthday last night at this place a friend and I went to and I was suppose to give it to my friend. I just realized that now that I home and unpacked that she didn't take it with her. It was calling me, I smelt it and then I ate it. So far 3/4 of it is gone :( , I couldn't eat it all at once but I did keep going back. So far no physical problems just mental.

Did I just screw everything up and is this a beginning of a downward spiral? I know I am just beating myself up right now and venting my concerns. Tomorrow is a new day and I will get back on track and be stricter with myself than I was today.

If you have negative comments don't bother replying, because I know. Just need chin up kinds of things.

It is really ok!!! Don't panic. You just have to "restart" yourself tomorrow. Reevaluate and go on. Beating yourself up won't help your feelings and won't reverse the action. Just learn a lesson and move on....

I've known people, who whilst on diets and have been rendered almost defenseless against something bad for them, have picked up said item, immediately squirted washing up liquid all over it and placed it in the bin. On enquiry, they admitted that if they hadn't have done that, they would have 'placed' it in the bin, in its wrapper and then gone back to it later. Least you didn't do that!

No worries!! The thing to do is get up tomorrow like any other day and begin anew!

On this journey we are going to make mistakes and drop our resolve. The key is to continue on your healthy pattern and don't look back!! Just move forward.....You got this!! :)

@Madam Reverie I have done the bin thing before pre-op, not a proud moment. My mom actually puts salt all over the dish when she was done. What I should have done is gone to the outside bin and trashed it, but didn't.

I am kicking myself for the momentary guilty pleasure, but tomorrow is another story. Long walk is in order and measured meals. I just hope this doesn't set me back any. That would suck!!

Thank you all for the encouragement that is exactly why I vented here.

Also remember, a part of what so many of us have to relearn is to take a bit and walk away. I watch my young daughter when she eats, she eats what she wants and then decides when she is full. I am always amazed that she did not have the desire to clean her plate. So I remind myself of the same things, I don't have to clean my plate, I don't have to go back, the one bite was enough,.

I let some chocolate melt in my mouth. More than I should have. I feel guilty too; however I'm back on track, still losing and I leaned my lesson. I was sick as a dog and had dumping. I need to learn how to deal with my emotions better than eating them because I physically can't do it anymore.

Glad I'm not the only one. This is a great support group.

I have trouble with muffins/ and cup cakes trouble swallowing 5 months out. So it goes on that list of things I don't bother with.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
