i had few sweets this weekend like a piece of cake from my nieces birthday party and a handful of m+ms that i had at work on friday. i was doing well especially since one week ago when i had my first fill and now that one week has past ive slipped. im trying not to be to hard on myself because as long as i get back on track thats whats important. i just hate slipping period. does this happen to any of you? is it practical for me to stick to everything perfectly? i do well when i put my mind to it but sometimes i go back to my old habits and cheat because i always ate bad everyday before surgery. now i may have a slip up once in a while which is better i have to say than everyday. i just dont know what is ok. i know that once you slip it can be a set up for failure so i am aware of that. i guess thats why i am on here so i can get support right. i write on here during my good times and bad. i will exercise extra tonight and try harder this week.

GIRLLLLLL .. you're doing fine !!

I don't consider those "slips" .. I consider them "living".

Look at it this way .. "skinny" folks eat cake, M&M's, McDonalds, etc - they just do it in moderation.

This band is for LIFE ... do you really expect to not have a slice of birthday cake EVER again ? I think that's a bit unrealistic and almost like you're setting yourself up.

Having a slice of birthday cake at a birthday party = living.

Having an entire cake while sitting on your couch = slipping.

I haven't been doing as well as I need to either, and I think I have been far worse than you. I have been tracking calories up until this weekend, and I am doing around 1500-1600 calories a day, with to much coming from liquid forms of Protein which is why I think I feel hungry.

This weekend I took our Sr. Youth Group to a weekend retreat and a weekend away from my structure with a bunch of garbage eating teenagers was not good for me. I am going to bust my butt this week, and I think I am going to try to stay away from the scale this week. Maybe next weekend the scale will have a big surprise for me.

So the goal for this week, walk 30 minutes each day, work out twice, eat no more than 1200 calories a day, and try to get more "real" food in me versus Liquid Protein.

Wish me luck...

I too, had a tough few days...an out of town trip with Girl Scouts, to where we were not allowed to bring outside food or drink, pizza, pop - none of that for me, Water only. Then doughnuts for Breakfast, a stop at a fast food place was too much for me too. Oh well, I know I will do better now that I am back on my regular schedule.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
