Losing,

We all have bad days. In my opinion if you think you can give into that carrot caek temptation in a SMALL amount so that you can avoid some of the other crap I would. I have found that if I can do that I am better off than tryin to avoid it forever. Go somewhere and have a small peice of carrot cake.....but do not buy a cake, just a piece! :) If you try to deny it, it will keep getting worse! Good luck....

justlosinme!! Girl -- i know how it gets... you can do this. When I get that bad, I just go to bed and sleep -- and think about all the yummy things that I can have for Breakfast. THAT usually helps. :-)

You are an inspiration and don't feel bad about eating one bad thing. I agree with BOOBOO. Sometimes it is best to allow yourself one "guilty pleasure" but LIMIT it to one... that way you are over it and go on with your life. There are LOTS of low calories recipes out there for something that tastes sweet but ISNT! I love sugar free/Fat free pumpkin pie (without the crust)... YUM!

Hey Losinjusme,

This will pass. It absolutely totally completely sucks, but it WILL pass. You are such an inspiration to me, and you have already done so much and made such incredible progress. You are dedicated and amazing, you don't have to perfect on top of all that!

Oh, and...

I'm staying on plan today because the next time I get on a plane, the seatbelt is going to fit and I am going to put my little tray table all the way down!

I stayed on plan today because I was determined that, for once, I was going to start being "good" on a Saturday and not use the weekend as an excuse to pig out so I could "start again" Monday.

I will stay on plan tomorrow because I am disgusted with my lack of progress and disappointed in MYSELF and starting to doubt the decision to get the band. Yet, I know it's MY fault and not the band's.

...in addition to myself...my children and husband are worth it. I won't do to my family what my parents did to us. (Both died of lung cancer in their 50s...) Addiction is not an excuse to kill yourself.

I gave up going to Typhoon Lagoon and out to dinner in order to stay on this plan. I'm not going to ruin today now!

Btw, losingjustme... when you do your free days (once a month I think?) is it hard to get back on track? I've done free days before, usually once a week (eek!) and sometimes I extend them into free weekends, etc...

Hang in there losinjusme! You have done great so far - you can do it!!! Everyone has rough Patches.

I'm staying on plan because I'm almost out of 'fat' clothes into regular sizes. Can't wait to say goodbye to lane bryant forever!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
