Self sabotage



Recommended Posts

Ok Tomorrow is the day. Two weeks on liquids. What's the worst that could happen, is what I keep asking myself.

I have never followed the program completely and I'm admitting it to help myself and others. Not only have I not followed this program completely I've never followed anything by the rules. I am also going to start seeing a psychologist because I self sabotage everything.

I have never admitted this either. But I have had so many things happen lately that have back fired that it's time to change. No excuses. I'm going to keep a journal and track everything.

If anyone has had any success with starting over let me know. Thank you.

First I want to say good luck with your surgery today! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I also want to say that you are brave for both recognizing and admitting that you struggle to follow the plan. This surgery will definately test you and it is a very good idea that you see someone to help you stay on track.

The toughest part of life after WLS is the head games. I have a lot of will power, seriously my husband is always reminding me of my stubbornness. When I set my mind to something I get it done.

There are times during the last 2 years that have tested my resolve and most of the time I win. There are times however that I stumble and when I do I am very hard on myself because of it.

My advice would be to seek that advice, you are worth it! Having WLS really is all about changing your life for the better, the surgery just helps you to do that by limiting the quantity of food.

you still have to drive. You have to eat a well balanced, high Protein diet. You still control how often you eat. Many fail because they think the surgery will automatically cause you to lose weight and it will for a very short while. Believe me, that window is really short so leverage that time to change your habits.

Continue to hold yourself accountable as you did here. If you do that, you will be successful.

YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Good luck today!

      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! 😞
