  1. 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 :unsure:

    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.

      Thank you. I agree with you Sherrie.. I started beating myself up the way I used to preop, but then I asked myself what I would tell someone who posted the same thing on one of the boards here and wrote out my status update. We are so tough on ourselves!

      Hi @MSinger we walk on the beach you may fall over some rocks but you balance yourself and keep on moving. I ate two mini ice cream sandwiches yesterday and i paid for it later so i got this morning regrouped and ate greek yogurt. I went from stumbling to balancing all within a day. Continued success.
