What I'm I going to do

There is a new Krispy Kream Doughnuts in my area. The hot light was on and cars lined up from the streets with police patrol. I just drove on by without succumbing to that temptation. Note to self, new route home.

Congratulations on your wise decision,

One thing has worked with me regarding fast food, and actually I used this for the last several years even before starting my WLS journey - keep in mind how it can be disappointing! I kept seeing an ad for a new Wendy's sandwich that looked great, fresh lettuce, fluffy bun, etc. I gave in and got one and it looked like most fast food, slapped together and resembling something that had been sat on! There was no sauce, the bun was smashed and squished, it wasn't hot enough, and it all added up to a waste of 450 calories on something that wasn't even good. Ads usually look so much better than the reality.

When you said Krispy Kreme, the first thought I had was how sick I feel after two donuts, the nasty greasy coating on my teeth, the slight nausea, etc. Yes, their raised donuts are good when warm, but the cake kind are too sweet and kind of sickening IMHO, lol. Not to mention the feelings of shame afterwards.

Stay strong!

I'm lucky, Krispy Kreme donuts mean nothing to me. Now put a white wedding cake with white icing in front of me and it'll be a little harder to pass up! B)

Good for you. I haven't had my surgery yet, don't even have a date, but am trying to eat less in preparation. When I want something I know I really don't need I tell myself that you already know what it taste like, so you don't have to eat it. You have to do whatever works for you to stay on track, even if it means you have to take a different route. :)

I went a picked up donuts for my husbands work and didnt realize we still had a krispy cream not to far away. They hand you a donut when you walk in.I ate half and felt like I was gonna die in the car. The sugar hurt me bad. The 15 minute drive home seemed like an eternity to use the bathroom.

I gagged the other day driving past a Taco Bell. No fast food cravings here. I know exactly how terrible my body will feel after. Eat clean!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
