3 months out and cheating



Recommended Posts

So I'm nervous. I'm 3 months out and have lost about 50 pounds, but last week was Mardi Gras, and I snacked a lot on things like chips, popcorn, and chocolate. I didn't overeat during any of my meals and I haven't eaten any bread of any kind. Did I hurt my sleeve or stretch it in any way by cheating this early??

No. Just get back on the wagon. As long as you didn't over eat, you should be okay.

You're fine. You need to learn moderation, not deprivation. I pigged out and ate a ton of halloween candy a few months ago. I went camping last month and ate smores and a bunch of other naughty no-no foods. Not only am I fine, but I proved that I can be a normal, functioning human being that occasionally indulges.

sigh, its not cheating, its just eating. you dont have to report it, or anything like that you just have to get back on track. Please dont listen to the moderation crap. unless you want to lose just some weight maybe, and take a long ass time doing it. Eating everything in moderation makes you moderately fat. period. when people tell you its okay to cheat , they will fail. do not listen. its not cheating its just eating. Every Time you eat badly, you just lose more time in your honeymoon period and the losing gets harder and harder as you go forward. dont fell bad just move forward. you can do this, and that is it.

So just move forward dont beat yourself up. but dont plan to fail either.

You can do this.

OK, so you are a FUB (Fallible hUman Being). You are not stretching your sleeve, you just delayed progress. Kick yourself once, and get back on program. ;-)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
