Yikes! I just back tracked 3 days before surgery

I've hit a wall and I hate it! Football Sunday in my home is huge! Everyone's eating have fun and my favorite cool ranch Doritos haunting me. :/. I had just finished a shake and walked past the chips. I thought just one. So I ate it. Only problem, I took about three handful. My family understood was very support, but I cried. Not cause I cheated, but because I really hit me, I need this surgery! As scared as I am, I need this. Could use some positive people who understand me, cause my family God love them don't.

You're going to be ok dear but you have to understand your relationship with food. What made you grab those Doritos, what were you feeling before you grabbed those Doritos? How did you feel while they were in your hands? Your mouth? After you ate them? What did you gain by eating them...how did you feel after eating them? Did you enjoy that feeling? What could you have done differently?

Don't beat yourself up, there's a reason you need this surgery. The bad news is, there's going to be tempting Doritos post op too. The good news is, you don't have to reach for everything your head wants to eat. You choose what you want to eat, how you want to feel, the pros the cons etc.

Overcoming additions are challenging but if I did it, I promise you can do it too. I use to eat chocolate everyday sometimes 3x a day. Post op I don't have any desire for it but I asked myself questions, weigh the pros and cons...and ultimately set my standards. You can do it!

Thank you! Your right about the food. I know it's going to happen having mistakes. I know once the surgery is done I'm so scared of getting of track I will resist the Doritos. Lol. By not allowing them in my house.

Your going to be ok just remember to take one day at a time.
