Yikes! I just back tracked 3 days before surgery



Recommended Posts

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.

      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?
