That's so hard at 1st seeing all the goodies. After a while it won't bother you. If I really crave or want a slice I eat half a slice & not even cuz I'm sharing with my 2 year old but the urge goes away. I have Also passed on a Lot of pizza & I'm mentioning this because I love love love love pizza. But nothing feels so good as been thin & a size 4

I think it is time for a come to Jesus meeting as they say. When I started my journey my husband and I had a long talk about sweets. I always felt when I was succeeding in my diets he would bring home some sweets and then say well just have self control and leave them alone. Hubby has never had weight issues. I was about one month post op and he brought home a chocolate pie. I would typically keep things bottled up with something like this, but we sat down and I said this is what I am talking about. It finally hit home and we had a talk about what sweets he could bring home. I hate coconut and he loves it. So he brought home coconut pies.

I tell you that story because in order to be successful you must have the support of family. There will be a time when she can bring those Cookies home again, and you will not want them, or can tolerate a small little bit and be satisfied. However right now you need support during this transition period.

Stand up for choosing to be healthy and happy! You deserve it!!!!

Thanks for the support ladies. I've talked to her and husband and they do.not.get.it. They won't change, and neither have weight problems. I'm just so hungry and have a headache and am just in the mourning food stage.

I understand they do not get it. My husband does not get it, but he realized this was important to me and supported me by not bringing in things that would tempt me.

Please speak to them again. Come from the angle of you may not understand it, but as my love ones and family this is what I need right now. Then lay out what you need from them. I am 5 months post op and I could not have come this far without the support of my husband. I do to want to scare you, but many people wind up divorced after surgery because they realize that their spouse was not supportive. Maybe seeing a counselor with them will help. You do not have to understand weight issues to offer support!

      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!!
