Does anyone else have bad days? Today I had two slices of pizza that I made. And I didn't wait the hour to drink my water! I feel like a loser!

Most everyone has a bad day here and there. Just acknowledge it and move on! One mistake doesn't make you a failure. You've got this :)

How were you able to eat two slices of pizzas? Were they tiny slices? I'm only 3.5 weeks out, and I have difficulty drinking 3 ounces of Soup.< /p>

Yeah they were small. I only eat the toppings off. I ate one full piece. I'm already 31/2 months out

I have really had no issues eating. That's why I'm so afraid to have bad days! I can see how easy it would be to fall into old habits.

You will have to stay focused, and be forever vigilant. For me the very thought that I laid on an operating table, allowed myself to be put to sleep, and asked a doctor to remove a large portion of a perfectly healthy organ still amazes me. I realize today that I'm grieving the lost of my stomach, but it's forever gone. I plan to honor my surgery by making a lifetime commitment to the process.

Yes! But we are human, some days I feel like I can take on the world and other days I struggle all day long! But the good days are starting out way the bad:)

Glad to hear the good days are winning the fight. And yes we are human and will continue t o have roller coaster days and sometimes weeks. As women we have a lot to deal with. Stay encouraged and claim your success.

i am 7 wks out and i chose this option (sleeve) so that i wouldn't have to FOREVER be on a 'diet' and feel guilty over eating something like a slice of pizza...

i too have had a thin crust slice. no guilt, scale continues to move downward nicely! i guess i wouldn't consider the fact that you ate a very limited portion of a 'treat' food a bad day. pizza USED to be a twice-a-week occasion for me, now it will likely be about once a month or so. no issues.

that said, if you are following your program then you have nothing to feel bad about! my program includes ALL foods, including breads, rice, Pasta, yes-pizza, and even Desserts in LIMITED wise quantities (1 slice). i have NO problems overeating and feel VERY full well before i'm done eating ANY meal!

Don't beat yourself up, we all have those days. I have pizza about once a month...the amount I eat depends on the day and what my body can handle. I try REALLY hard not to drink after I eat but it is very hard for me as I have always been someone with a Water bottle in hand. You are human just don't slip into bad habits daily and you will succeed. Good luck!

The great thing with the sleeve (for me , at least) is I can have my favorite foods on occasion. I follow my plan closely , but allow room for the occasional treat. Nothing is forbidden in my diet. I am 11 months p/op and still have excellent restriction. I am under my docs goal and my personal goal. pizza is delicious and I join in when my family has it, albeit may only a small slice and some of the toppings. I don't feel deprived or feel like a failure. Failure would be making bad choices, all day , every day. Enjoy your sleeved life!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
