Recommended Posts

Merry Christmas everyone.

Im 5 months out and today i had a tiny piece of sweet potato pie i feel fine but i do feel guilty and right after i ate it told my mom i dont plan to eat anything like that for a long time. Because i just hate the guilt i felt after eating it even though it was such a small piece

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?

Needed to see this... The other day I had a piece of my favorite candy. Pulparindo extra hot and salted tamarind with chile mmmMM... but I felt guilty. I cycled an extra hour for it lol.

I, too, have to always work on: Letting. It. Go.

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

Everyone has a few times in their journey. STOP stressing or feeling guilty. Life happens but just like was said you CONTROL yourself, not any FOOD> I hope you all had a great CHRISTMAS with all of your loved ones. KEEP ON KEEPING ON!!

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
