So, I've been pretty good so far (6 weeks post) and have kept my sugars really low but today I blew it. I had 1/8 cup of soft serve ice cream

I feel like a total failure and I'm so disappointed in myself!

Just needed to confess to someone!

Don't feel that way...we all have temptations but we learn from our mistakes...this will make youwork harder on your goal but don't feel down.

Sounds like you are doing fantastic! I completely understand the guilt but this journey is a marathon. So you tripped on a rock (and feel into some ice cream). Keep running and you won't even remember mid way through. Good luck!

I had an twice this week because I was having my period and the sweet tooth was out of control. I have lost 3 pounds in the last three days. Just don't make it a daily thing and reduce the serving amount of you must must have it.

I could never give up icecream! I understand the guilt, I still have it 7 years post op. So just keep going!

Margie are you still doing well after 7 yrs? I'm so curious about the surgery for people that have had it this long?

I sure am I had the lap band though, they didn't have the sleeve when I did mine, but the rules are the same or close. I was 295 when I had my surgery it took me 2 years to get to 160 and most recently I am 153. My lowest was 145 and I'm 5'7 so I looked bad. I'm 53 years old and it's life began 7 years ago when I was 46. Life is good. This picture of me is silly, it was me this Halloween. I dressed up and felt so silly and happy.

Every time I do this, which is on a daily basis I just put an extra 6 miles a day in.
