What rule(s) do you let yourself break?



Recommended Posts

Well, to be honest, there isn't a rule I haven't broken bc the surgery was done on my stomach not my brain. That being said, I'm REALLY trying to control my mistakes. I'm not perfect and I don't beat myself up anymore. I just improve my habits daily.

Yesterday I ate

Weight watchers Protein chicken Pasta for Breakfast

an Asian salad w/chicken for lunch

Fig newton and a Krispy Kreme donut for snack (please don't judge me. I had a weak moment and I know it).

Piece of pita bread with caramelized onions for dinner

I don't drink enough Water (I'm working on that) but I drink 2 cups of coffee a day.

I am 4 months out. I have been drinking with a straw since about 4 weeks, I won't get my Fluid without using a straw.

I frequently drink right up until I eat. I will have a small sip or two during a meal if I need to due to dryness or spicyness.

The other day I was way behind on both Protein and Fluid. I ate a ham/provolone roll up and drank right away. I figured getting in the Protein and fluid was more important.

I did have most of a pralines and cream ice cream in a pretzel cone while on vacation in mid-May. I ate most of it.

I will have 2 bites of hubby's ice cream about every 2 weeks. I will steal a french fry or a 1/4 of a mozzarella stick from his plate.

If we go out I will get an unsweetened iced tea and have them Water it down. It is frequently the only no carb non carbonated drink and I don't like plain Water even if they add lemon. I figure the amount of caffeine in a 1/4 of a watered down iced tea is pretty negligible.

      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! 😞
