So, I don't really ever cheat. Aside from a few mozzarella sticks, I've stuck to the plan. Yes, I've gotten dumping A LOT because stuff on the "plan" isn't always kosher for my particular tummy. But today. Today I set myself for failure on purpose. I ate a shortbread cookie, a ferrero rocher, and a cordial cherry. At the same time. Yes. The epitome of all that is sugar and anti-WLS. I warned my coworkers that in 20 minutes I would be dying. I knew it would happen. I did it anyway. It only took 10 minutes. I spent half an hour in the work bathroom foaming and dry-heaving. I dry-heaved so much snot up my nose started to bleed... profusely. I was hot. I had heart palpitations. I couldn't speak for an hour. It wasn't worth it. LOL. But damn the "normies" have it good being able to enjoy those treats without weight issues or dying in workplace restrooms. And no. No plans for a repeat ever again. So that's my contribution to the cheat thread. Except this cheat was a big one with consequences of suffering. lol. Don't cheat, kids. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm having RNY bypass 12/31/19. In Cookeville TN. I hope your surgery goes well and uneventful. [emoji40] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

1 month post-op and no interest what so ever.

Takes awhile i was uncomfortable and miserable for a few weeks - Then like overnight i felt great - Ride it out as for the heartburn get meds for it from your Doc. Soon life will be normal - but we all agree the pre week diet sucks and the first few weeks after suck. But its worth it big time

Thanks for the responses. I will keep my chin up! Nice to hear that this might be more normal.

Welcome to the Journey going to be a good one - The pain and bully poop goes away shortly - Ride it out and the rewards are amazing

Thank you so much. I’ll definitely give that a try.

I don't remember but don't go by anyone but yourself because everyone loses at a different rate and it will only make you miserable.

Oh there are too many goodies! I've been doing a bite here and there. And I make myself track it. I avoid things that I think might take me overboard (the ones I couldn't stop previously). And now I'm officially on vacation...😳

17. Ok, so the surgeon/team were pleased with me. I'm not done yet though so I might do better. It was determined that I had lost 55% of the excess. But they loved my attitude which is so supported by my participation here even if it has gotten rather erratic. Went to yoga class that night. No morning tea outside due to snow and sleet....brrrr! 18. I think I stretched all my muscles the previous night - went to the gym though and got my cardio in. 19. Again, got my cardio in at the gym. A little bit of yoga. Didn't watch my favourite movie but I do have some movies waiting to be watched. 20. I'll be going to the gym after work (half day) and I scheduled myself for a restorative yoga class tonight. While I was at it, I scheduled a few classes for myself over the next week while I'm on vacation. That would be one thing I enjoy splurging on. New clothes too. Sadly, I have to buy two new tires so that is my big splurge for the month and I will get them tomorrow morning.
