Thanks to everyone for all your advice!!! its so wonderful to have so much support from people who have been there! i have been back on track and when i spoke to my nutritionist she actually said the 1/2 an egg was totally fine. it was a great learning lesson though...i realize MOST people do have struggles with this and some even regret it...which i don't..i'm so excited i did this and i know I WILL SUCCEED!! i have been getting in most of my Protein and over 1/2 of my liquids i'm actually down 37 POUNDS IN EXACTLY 1 MONTH TODAY!!! and 48 since my pre-op anywhooo...thanks for all the great advice!!!! i'm sooo excited to be on this journey!!! struggles and all!!!!!

yay i was just added!!! sleeved 12/10!!! thanks!!

can you start this biotin early before it starts falling out? I'm 2 & 1/2 weeks out but am thinking when i start all my vitamins i should add this?

man does this motivate me!!!! I'm only 2 & 1/2 weeks pos op and i didn't think i could get more excited!!! you guys all look FANTASTIC!!!! thank you for the motivation!!!!!

i know i keep saying this but all of these comments and support really help!! i did great yesterday with all of the recommendations and i can't thank you all enough! my family is so supportive but sometimes you just have to hear the support and advice from people who can relate. i got in 40 g of Protein yesterday and stuck to my new way of life because i realized i am NOT a failure and yes this is a new way of life and not a diet. i need to change my relationship with food and thats something i need to work on. it doesn't mean i can't love it still, i just need to change the way i look at it. i got on pinterest and started looking at bariatric recipes, because i love to cook. I'm excited to continue on this journey knowing i can come here and get great advice and wonderful support by people that are real and have been through or are going through this journey. i found a couple protein shakes i like at GNC called lean shake that have 25g protein and only 2 sugars. banana,strawberry, vanilla, and a chocolate. i picked up some nectar brand unflavored powder as well. I'm going to get on my new elliptical and start a new exercise program today as well. guys THANK YOU so much and please keep the recommendations coming and the stories how we're all human and people veer off track but the important thing is to pick yourself up right away, figure out what caused it, and move on.

thanks so much for all the sleevers who gave me encouragement and tips. i am sticking to it from here on out! it's funny how it helps to hear encouragement and suggestions. i know i did wrong, hence my post, so being straight forward and just reiterating how i suck doesn't help, but the encouragement does. i don't mind the reprimanding but maybe throwing in a suggestion at the end would be helpful. so thanks so much for the suggestions...im mixing a Protein drink i just went out and bought as we speak.

Thanks you guys...you're totally right....I'm not straying off again...it's so hard because I am such a foodie. I need to reset myself right now and just keep telling myself there's no going back now (not that I'd want to) and tell myself I'm worth it.

Hi guys, I'm so scared and ashamed of myself. I was sleeved December 10 and here it is December 27 and I already cheated. I am not getting my protein in (maybe 20 g a day) I hate the taste of my protein shakes already and I'm so tired of soup and cottage cheese, grits and oatmeal. I ate 2 deviled eggs today ( chewed them to mush ) but I just felt like I had to have them. Now I am scared a piece will get stuck in my staple or something and I feel like a total failure. I can only eat about 3 oz at a time which I know is correct but I get hungry so fast, within an hour. I know some of it has to be head hunger, but I'm trying not to be a failure at this and just keep thinking if I failed my full liquid diet already, am I just setting myself up to fail at it all? I wasn't supposed to start puréed foods until 4 weeks which will be on January 7th. I lost 27 pounds the first 2 weeks but now I haven't lost anything for the last 4 days. Can anyone help with any advise? I'm not going to cheat again and am praying so hard I will be successful at this.
