Holiday compromises



Recommended Posts

On holiday with the family for the first time since my sleeve in Jan. 12 weeks today.

Holidays were always a cue for indulgence. Never did the ‘diet hard so I can splurge’ thing, but did think ‘two weeks of treats won’t hurt’.

Not indulged, but have compromised. Had a couple of crisps during a marathon game of monopoly. Had a couple of sweet potato fries with a fillet steak (totally gorgeous one with brie and crispy pancetta on top in a puddle of red wine sauce...yeah I know! Got loads to bring home that I’m having tomorrow with salad), and tasted eldest’s desert (she was right, it was exactly like after eight mints), but didn’t have one of my own.

All that may sound to some like slacking, but I’ve stayed under 850kcal and hit Protein and Fluid targets with loads of extra exercise I’m really enjoying. Just guess I wanted to say it hasn’t been a slippery slope and feeling really good.

If it’s less loss I’ll live with it cos I’ll be back in my own kitchen in 6 days with my own supermarket shop, but willing to bet it won’t be with how busy we’re being :-)

      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!!
