So I'm 5 months out and down 110lbs, but lately I've been eating little things here and there that for the first 4 1/2 months I was afraid to touch. Now granted it's not no where near what I use to eat but its just the fact that I'm allowing myself this one little bite here and one little bite there. I logged my food and work out 5 times a week but the point is that I just want to continue to learn self control and willpower. Am I being to hard on myself? I mean I'm not pigging out but I feel like a pig afterwards. Anyways I just wanted to share that to see if its just me? And surly this process is now 100% easy right? I feel like its been easy up until now when I have my options. Can anyone else relate? What about people further out the me?

I meant "not" 100% easy.

I feel the same and kinda do the same. I was so strict and I'm not so much now. I know eventually we should be able to eat most things..just in smaller quantities. I sometimes get mad that I tolerate so many things and that I am weak and feel like I need a bite or 2 of stuff I really don't need to eat. Scares me I won't be successful. I try to log everything I put in my mouth tho so I'm hoping that keeps me in check.

That's exactly how I feel. Thank you for responding even though I know I'm not the only one it feels good to hear others say it.

Yep! Was really glad to hear u say it. I've kinda wondered in my little realm of "self shame" what's wrong with me. Glad to know I'm not alone. I'm have to curb emotional eating. food addiction. I'm scared I'm letting that crap back in

Anyone had regular coffee yet?

I tried a sugar free latte from Starbucks.... did not order a decaf one. It felt like it was burning my pouch so I haven't touched coffee at all since. Some people don't seem to be bothered by it but my pouch is picky about it I guess.

I am also 5 months post-op and I know what the OP means.... during the past month with the Halloween candy all around I've eaten several pieces and it's little bits here and there. Like you I felt so awful about it later even though I wasn't pigging out. I pretty much quit cold turkey though and just quit eating it for a couple weeks. Since Halloween last week though I've done it a good bit.... but once that candy is gone it's gone. There will be no more brought into the house. Quitting for the couple weeks that I did cold turkey allowed me to realize that I can quit it and don't have to give in like I did pre op. I'm in control so I've allowed myself to eat some since Halloween for that reason- it will soon be gone and I know I can quit.

We just have to be mindful of what we are doing and once I realized I was doing it mindlessly I was able to quit it!
