We all have something along the journey. As long as you don't have it everyday and it is a small portion you will be fine.

Was it yummy? Was it a one (or two) time thing just for the holidays? Can you go take a long walk to work it off?

No biggie! Let go of the guilt. You enjoyed it, your stomach is healed, you took a controlled piece. Much better than you would have done in previous years, right?

Just be careful because eating sugar tends to make you crave more which can start to really snowball into a vicious cycle of cravings.

Don't feel guilty! Looks like your sticking to plan 99% of the time! As am I.. I no longer feel guilty if I want something I plan it out work it off and go about my day. I'm down 100 lbs since my first consultation in July, was sleeved in august and have reached my surgeons goal. Still want to reach my goal though .. 20 more lbs to go!

I had a small slice of pumpkin pie today, and I felt NO GUILT AT ALL! Do you know why? It was because this is a lifetime change, not a daily grind. Yeah, we have to pay attention day by day, but we can also let loose on our restrictions for a single instance now and then, because we are human.

Tomorrow it will be back to lots of Protein, little carbs, and working out. In the meantime , I was able to relax and enjoy the day. I hope you can do the same.

Exactly.... it's Christmas.

You don't stop living your life.

You have a plan for weight loss... it won't be the last time you have something.

We just can't overdue it.

Protein... work out.... all good.

Do an extra half hour on the treadmill tomorrow..

I had paper-thin slices of pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, guava flan and tiramisu cake. I am proud as all hell and my mouth is kissing me all over for such amazing-tasting things. We are happy and tomorrow is another day.

P.S. We're also sugared out for quite a while to come. In packing up the mandatory care package, we omitted sweets.

I planned my day knowing I would have a dessert. I had 2 bites of a brownie and a Peanut Butter blossom. I don't feel bad at all. I didn't get fat in a single day and one day a few times a year isn't going to derail me.

The most important part here is that you are healed at this point. So much different than newly post op people who are risking damage to eat off plan.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
