I came on this site to get inspiration to help myself stay on track with not cheating. I was hoping to find out that I was not alone in this process. It has been 11 weeks since my surgery and I have not cheated once. I am very proud of myself as this has been one of the hardest things I have ever done. I still go to BBQ s and events with friends and watch them enjoy wonderful smelling food while I stick to my fruits veggies and protein. I came on here to see that I was not alone and all I keep seeing is how people are pushing their limits by eating foods like steak and bread and candy. I'm very frustrated because now I feel more alone then ever. I am not by any means judging anyone on here as I am fully aware of the difficulties this surgery comes with. But I am looking to find out I am not alone. Is there anyone that has made it as far or further then myself??? Please tell me there is!! Reading these stories makes me want to cheat!!

U are all correct in the advice u r sending my way.i think I am just really struggling because of my cycle. The first time I had my cycle came with that stomach virus that was going around and I ended up on my bathroom floor for about three days. Had to go be put on an IV at the hospital and was throwing up everything including water...needless to say I did not have any cravings that time lol. Now I feel as though every PMS symptom is hitting me twice as hard especially the cravings and I feel like I am so close to cracking!! But I don't want to! I know those foods are what got me here in the first place and I definitely don't want to turn back!!! I have about 20lbs till I'm at my goal weight and I wanted to go clothes shopping to take my mind off of the eating part but I feel like it will be a waste of money if I'm just going to lose another 20 lbs!! Anyways I'm sorry if I offended anyone on here. I think the bitchyness overtook my body for a bit and I took it out on here!! I know this is a difficult process and I honestly wish everyone the best of luck and I sincerely hope everyone reaches their goal weight and is able to maintain!!!

Yes I know u are right. It's just difficult when u feel alone and the one place you think u can go for support doesn't end up helping very much

Natasha. I was not trying to be rude. I apologize if it came out that way... Like I said before I am just frustrated. But as others are stating on here.. Different docs have different rules and I do understand that I need to stick to it. It's just that my doc gave me very strict rules and red meat is a big no no for me until six months post op. so in essence I guess I feel like its not fair... I just have to realize that regardless of what others are doing I made this decision and have to stick with what my doc recommended for me. I think I'm going to start my cycle so my cravings are out of control!! I had my surg in dec as well!! I lost 28 per op and 45 post op. how much have u lost? I also have not had any dumpings thankfully. Any good food ur eating that is allowed??

If u re read it says that I have not cheated AT ALL and I am 11 weeks out and I am discouraged because everyone else is cheating and I am doing my best to stick to the docs orders I would love to be ur ban buddy!! Which surf did u have and how long ago?

Thank u much

I am 11 weeks out and down 45 lbs. Over the last couple of days I gained 1.5 lbs and I'm sincerely hoping its from PMS since I have not cheated at all. Not even once. It is frustrating to see an increase on the scale..but the hardest thing is how unbelievably exhausted I am. I know it is because of the lack of carbs...does anyone else have the problem of feeling like u are going to pass out just from standing in line? Does anyone know when it will be ok to eat things with more carbs like wheat bread or cheerios or even wheeties? I'm getting bored of my food too!
