I can totally understand how the comments go to your head when others tell you how thin you look or how good you have done. Why do we fall off the wagon when these comments are made? I don't know if this would help but I just say that was just one of those days, learn from the mistake and work hard to say NO! It is hard when you have positive comments and unhealthy food in the same room! It seems the biggest battle is battling the old habits we had pre-op. I have been told if we fall back... we can move forward and keep on going!

Good luck girl and let it go... you can always jump back on and proceed forward!

Awesome work!

The same thing happened to me. It is bad enough when I am home I am eating Quinoa chips because we can. I got the sleeve on Nov.7th, 2014. Recently when I went to my daughter's house she had cake. Before the night was over I was taking pieces of her cake. Before surgery I had will power. But now I want to feel normal and try things that are bad for me. Breyer's Carb Smart Chocolate Ice Cream was on sale at the grocery store. So I bought 2. After the 1st day I got disgusted with myself so I brought the ice cream over to my grandchildren's house. What is wrong with me? I definitely am tempted to eat sweets or I enjoy eating those chips. I enjoy chewing. Please help me with some good suggestions! Thank you. I really appreciate your feedback.

What I have found is my eyes and brain still think I can eat whatever I want. After having this surgery I thought something would change in me, but it hasn't. I still think about food all the time and want to eat what I did before. It's a struggle everyday. I try to stock my house with high protein everything. I went on a website called bariwise and ordered crunchy things that were high in protein, they don't taste the greatest but I get to crunch. I also found something called Moon cheese. it has 4 gm protein no sugar 5gm fat and 70 calories. zero carbs. I made beef jerky which is high in protein. I cook mine so its crunchy and that is an excellent snack I think for me. I try to eat chicken more then anything else as it seems to be the highest in protein.

It's all about willpower and making the changes we need to for ourselves. I am weak to temptation and I will fail at times but I have to pick myself back up. This week is weigh in with my doctor. Its my 3 month visit and I am terrified he is going to tell me I am a failure and he can't help me any longer. (I think I have been watching my 600 pound weight lost show too much) anyway, I haven't lost all that much since my surgery and I wonder if its me or my sleeve. I'm nervous and I gained a pound since yesterday and can't really figure out why.... I wish I could talk to someone about how to control what the mind wants over what the stomach can have. I do not want to stretch my sleeve out and I do not want to gain the weight back....this is a scary journey for me and I pray it will be successful.
