So no one judge, but I've been eating like horribly lately, chips, sweets,and even fried foods. I don't get dumping. Making bad decisions, I'm going back to my old ways. Big sigh!! Any suggestions??

Ugh, I must admit I am heading there too! I've eaten bread (all started with half a bread at thanksgiving) I don't dump and it doesn't help me on track! Today I ate a bite of bday cake at work BIG FAIL I left like a loser! And I ate one bite of a cheese quesadilla :(

Please don't judge I need advise to get back on track! It all started with a half a bread and since then I have been pushing the limits :'(

we are all human and since this is something you just started doing it shouldn't be too hard to get back on track. it is hard when there are so many temptations out there but look what you went through to lose weight to start with!

its ok ladies. noone said it would be easy. you will still be losing, just at a slower rate. try to remember why you chose to do this, what hoops you went through, and what it really means to you. We're in this together, no judging, just support. I just had my first post op meal - chicken stock and yogurt... I know I'm not hungry but I am craving a cheese scone damnit!

Tomorrow is a new day think about why u wanted to loose weight in the first place and pull those old pics out of u when u was heavier and think do I want to go back to that but everyone falls off the wagon just get your self back on it again cause no one is perfect but god. And having those foods once and a while is not bad just as long as u know u portioned it out it won't make u gain but it will make your weight stall hope u are well. Ttyl

The best motivation is looking at your starting out picture - the day of your surgery. It is the motivation u need to not turn back and keep moving forward.

I know just what you mean...I'm in the same boat. I don't dump unless I eat to fast, in that case the food gets stuck and it comes up I order for me to feel better. I can eat just about anything I want and I'm less that two months out. I don't go crazy if its something that I want I may have one bite and I'm done with it. I don't eat a whole bag if chips or even a whole cookie. I will take one bite of something that I have a taste of and that is enough to satisfy me. Until I had my cycle... I ate too many cheese it crackers, they put me at a stall so I had to give them to my children. I do work out every day which keeps my wanting more fuel for my body. Remembering to make good choices and planing meals and Snacks in advance it what keeps me doing what I need to do. I love WLS and do happy that I have this tool because with out it, baby I would have eaten everything in site. :-)

Rem all one bit of cake or bread is not the end of the world. That's being human. Part of this process is to learn to new habits. Our old habits were one or two pieces of cake and no exercise. If the bit help with a craving. It's ok as long as it is not a habit. Move on and don't beat yourself up. :-)

I couldn't have said it better myself. The ultimate goal is to adopt a healthier attitude towards food and adopt a healthier lifestyle. No one is perfect...and eventually you will be allowed to eat what you wanna eat so the this year should be spent creating new healthy habits...not beating ourselves up for being human. We should use our tool to our advantage as well as maintaining a positive mental attitude

I want to thank everyone for all you said. I mean I don't eat whole bags of chips but I do eat some here and there. I felt like a failure for eating it but it was good!!! Lol. I'm cleaning out my bad habits today and starting over to what I should be doing. In 4 1/2 months I've lost 93 pounds. I believe that's pretty good. Unfortunately I can eat anything I want!! Which is bad because it tempts me all the time. I think above anything I'm afraid of stretching my pouch. Big sigh, just praying I can get ahold of myself!!

Agreed. The teeny amount we can eat wont hurt you too badly. Just eat very healthy 99 percent and the other 1 percent will be fine. Dont beat yourself up

After going slightly off track for a few days, I set my goal weight for Christmas, decided on eliminating all carbs from my diet. I put these in front of my desk to keep me motivated & on track. When I crave anything badly, one bite is all I take.

Take it easy on yourself & set your next goal. Log everything & check it out daily to monitor yourself.

hugs & good luck

Hello:) I was doing great & decided not the 1st time to eat a slice of pizza & oh boy. I was in so much pain & was throwing up. I love pizza but I will never have s slice again. Since I get chocolate cravings I always have chocolate kisses around so I eat limit 4 pieces but I must stop & go back to my sugar free Russell which taste delicious & not Hugh in calories. When I feel dry I have just bought it from BJ's(just became 60 day free membership) sugar free crystal light candy 25 calories for 4 pieces had one taste delicious. In other words we have healthier choice when it comes to picking out food.

I still got a bunch of stuff to buy. I want to stay a size 4 and get down to size 2 and 110lbs. I don't want to fail.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
