Yes and it sucks. Plain and simple. Just make what you can eat and make sure you really want it so you dont feel so horrible bc you are eating good food too

Keep your eye on the prize. Nothing tastes as good as weight loss feels. Good luck! ;)

I have to cook for my husband and son. It's not easy but I try and think about other things or leave the room.

Tonight I made my husband a buffalo chicken calzone, it was really hard to watch him eat that.

Luckily, my husband has been a team player and has been eating pretty much what I've been eating, and has lost 27 pounds!!!

Also we have so many leftovers nowadays!!

Also, I gave my husband 3 choices:

1. He could eat what I eat.

2. He could cook his own food.

3. Go out and get his food, and eat it there and not bring it home!

I wasn't sure which option he would choose, but I knew it wasn't going to be #2! LOL!! But he's made the right choice and he is reaping the benefits and getting himself prepared for his upcoming Lap-Band surgery.

When your family starts cooking, go for a walk, get away from the temptation. In time it will get easier, let's face it we will always have to learn to say no to temptation.

Good luck.

I like Angela's post- giving her hubby 3 options. I think it's important to elicit the support of the people around you. You wouldn't drink infront of a newly recovering alchoholic and expect them to deal with it. Well, at least I wouldn't. Dealing with temptation can come a little down the road, and hopefully not be in your own house.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
