tanked yesterday, better today



Recommended Posts

i had a very weak day yesterday. i made bad food choices and basically didnt give a shit while i did it. until the end of the day when i felt guilty as all get out! i was blaming it on it being that time of the month. but i cant do that! that cannot be my excuse to screw up here and there. it just cant be.

i did manage to get in a short walk last night after work. it wasnt very long, but still, something is better then nothing. and i did feel better afterwards.

today i am doing much better. made all great choices...low carbin it to try and curb check these cravings i fed like no other yesterday. and i am good. i feel good. besides this dang headache!

i guess i just needed to post to keep myself motivated. sorry to post w/ nothing interesting or anything.

You've already done this, but I'll say it anyway. Pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and let yesterday go. You can't do anything about it now, and today is a new day. We've all had those days.

Your headache is probably carb withdrawl, and will go away on it's own. Hang in there girl!

or does the good food items have a harder time going down than the bad food items. I know I can't live on beef jerkey and oatmeal but they are the only things that don't make me feel bad when I eat them.

This may sound crazy, but you may be too tight. I have found that the tighter my band the less healthy stuff I could eat. I have had to have 2 partial unfills because I couldn't handle eating CRAP foods just so that I could eat something. I have also found that when I am looser but able to eat nutritionally dense foods that I stay fuller much longer and don't have as many cravings trigged by CRAP foods. Just my 2 cents.

funny how that works, but i agree. once in a while it works the other way, something i figure will go down just fine gets stuck and hurts like hell and then something i figure will get stuck goes down just fine. gotta love the unpredictibility i have sometimes.

i have found though, that no matter what, tuna fish is a BIG freakin NO!! dont even attempt unless i want to die for the next hour or two (no joke). even the smallest bite kills. and yet most times chicken breast goes down. and i stress most times as it too has been known to attempt to take my life.

Thanks for the advice. I am moving to New ORleans from Sarasota,Fl and wanted to make sure it was tight in case I have a hard time finding a fill location out there. But yeah I am thinking it may be too tight. How long can I live on oatmeal and protien shakes right?! I agree with the tuna fish, even before this last fill. Can not take the pain. Did you try it grilled? Even worse. Funny how some people can do eggs differently too. I can't do boiled or fied, only scrammbled. I read a post the other day of someone who can do only boiled. go figure. what is the deal with beef Jerky. Right now that is pretty muchthe only meat I can eat.

i dont like eggs...except hard boiled. every one in a great while i will have a bite or two of scrambled eggs, but not too often. i was mad because i couldnt even eat a hardboiled egg! stuck city. but with having so many in the house from easter i tried one again, and it went down fine. for one day! and now again, not a good one. seems so weird to me how that works! i really like salmon but dont dare try it because of my results with the tuna...think it would be the same?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
