Thank you for all your posts. I have been off since Friday. I had my work friends over for our christmas party. I had to bake Christmas Cookies with my girls and of course had to have a few. I need to detox myself again to get off of the sugar cravings. My NYR is to get back on track.

I really blew it. I was banded on the 11th of December and I started off ok this morning. I had a small amount of scrambled eggs witha very small crescent roll. I know, but I couldn't help it. I work the night shift at the hospital in the er and it just got worse. I have had two biscuits and a small brownie. Now I feel like crap. Not from eating but from cheating. I swear I am going to straight liquids tomorrow. I am just worried what I did to my band.

Sounds like we are all going through the same thing. I am sitting here feeling really bloated... I am amazed at how much I have been able to fit in in the last 2 days. I went for a long walk today and will continue to do so in the next week just to keep the weight gain at bay. Good luck everyone with getting back on track.

I also indulged on Christmas eve and Christmas day. I really enjoyed myself and did so in moderation. Eating the foods I did was really a treat! I used to eat this kind of food all the time, so eating it on Christmas was not a special treat. This year it was! Today is the 26th and its a new day and I plan to pick up just where I left off. I almost feel like a normal eating person!

I over did it on veggies, so I had no room for sweets. Not that I did not want them but I was soo full, I just could not eat any. UGH! I though I would explode. :)

If anyone likes veggies and is looking for a great dip, I have a wonderful recipe that will make you want to eat the veggies just remember to CHEW! CHEW! CHEW! :hungry:

1 Pt Miracle Whip (light or whatever you want)

1/4 cup of puree'd spinach

1/4 cup minched onion

1/4 cup parlsey

juice of a lemon

Salt & Pepper to taste

Place Miracle Whip and Spinach in food processor until smooth,

combine all other ingrediants in a bowl, mix in spinach mixture, mix thoroughly, place in fridge over night and then enjoy. The longer it sits the better it gets.

Add more Miracle Whip for smoother consistancy.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
