Food day @ work...HELP



Recommended Posts

I have been sooooo good at avoiding temptation. Today we are celebrating a coworker buying his first house and another coworkers last day due to promotion. I am afraid I am going to gain 5 lbs today only!!! I actually WANT to eat the day away. HELP!!!!!

Make yourself a small plate of what you are allowed to have and then walk away. This is something yu will have to do for the rest of your life so do it today and be proud of yourself. If there is something you just HAVE to have then have one bite and leave it at that. Good luck! You can do it!!

@@2bullymom - then move it away....you can do that.

Or take it home and eat what you know you are allowed or when its time.

I haven't had any trouble with temptation either. Except the ice cream stuff I see in the cooler every time I go get Water. But I never give in, and I'll bet you can overcome this too! I'm only about 2 months out. So I can't eat hardly anything. Which in reality is great!!! lol Hope you do well!

@@crazyffhfan I gave into my temptation and bought pizza a couple of Fridays ago on the way home from work. I am 4weeks 2 days out and haven't had it since March and thought "just one thin slice..." well, I got thin crust and the narrowest strip and took a bite and....nothing. I chewed it and then tried a couple of more bites. Ate about 3 and spit one out. I had my "moment" and I am over it.

@2bullymom - throw it in the trash.

Lol I haven't done as badly as I thought I would. I have allowed myself to have a bit of everything I want. So while I have not been the best, I refuse to look at it as "being bad." I don't flat deny myself any food because if I do I will binge later. I have a little bit and then move on!

You can only eat so much so take a little of the things u want and nibble and feel good about being "bad" without binging cuz really you can't do that at once anyway. You'll be good :)

Thank you guys! Once I got over the initial freak out I was ok. I probably grazed more than I should have but over all it was WAY better than I would have done in the past, so I am proud of myself. And I will get up tomorrow morning, shake this day off and get on with it!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
