Well...I just got my first lesson on how this surgery is a tool, not a miracle. Went grocery shopping hungry, bought some "extras", came home and made some poor choices for the rest of the day. It is scary how quickly the calories added up, and how quickly my sleeve feels empty after eating. I ate a lot of food
I feel bad, but I'm gonna use this as a lesson. First off, it's not the end of the world. I'm 6 weeks out tomorrow, and this is the first time I've fallen off the wagon. That level of adherence to my diet was unheard of preop - I always broke within a week or two. Also, I went back and re-read my NUT materials. It's a good time for a refresher. I'm gonna learn what I can and just move on. Yesterday's poor decisions have no control over my choices today.

It does seem easier to make poor choices now that we can/are cleared to eat just about anything. I'm not going to lie, I ate tuna on Doritos the other day. Maybe about 5 chips. Did I feel bad? Nope. Did I make the right choice? Nope. But it won't be a continuous choice of foods. It will not make me gain anything. I burned it off doing my busy self stuff anyway. So, I enjoyed it and that was that. Now, if I had eaten a whole bag of them....that's another story. Thankfully I don't care for Doritos. I just wanted a crunch with my tuna and had no multigrain crackers in the house.
Youve learned...and you've moved on. You will be fine. 😊
