Ugh I teach 8th grade and had a very long day today and an open house tonight. Was just temped and gave in and ate 15 goldfish crackers. Chewed until they were nothing but the salt and the crunch will get me through the night!

sleeved 8/15, down 42 lbs since started preop diet on 7/29

good luck everyone!

Forgive yourself and move on, try to avoid it in the future. It's not the WORST thing you could've eaten, right? You'll do better from now on Always, always carry your healthy snacks! it's the thing that keeps me on track 7 months later!

I definitely will!!! It was the first time I strayed from my plan since I started preop on 7/29

So I'll will regroup and move on

thanks for the Input

It's okay to have something naughty sometimes. It's all about balance.

Wow, I thought for sure you were gonna say that you had a candy bar or something!! I guess crackers are a "cheat" food so close to your surgery date. Sometimes, it's better to have a little something than to make yourself suffer. I think I ate like 5 Cool Ranch Doritos about a month out, and told my oldest son not to tell daddy. I let him have 2 bags of chips or something as a bribe. As soon as hubby got home, my son says, "Hi dad! Mommy ate chips today!" Guess you can't trust a 9-year-old!! He's really good about keeping junk from me when I tell him "DON'T LET ME HAVE ANY!" He slaps my hand away! Haha

If it makes you feel any better crackers were allowed as part of my plan on my soft solids portion of the diet. And at 9 months out I still eat crackers from time to time.

Thanks... I won't beat myself up. The drastic changes I've made since my ore op diet started on 7/29 shock me. I've never worked so hard st something before LOL

Need to keep trying to get the water in. I definitely miss my carbs and some of my old favorites but I'm feeling better, so that wins!!!
