What is your food weakness, (demise)?



Recommended Posts

Symphony Milk chocolate Bars...Wal Mart puts them on sale 4 1/2 pounder sizes for $5.00...Bad News! Anything Ben And Jerry's and those are eaten in sets of 2! Kraft macaroni and cheese and Stouffers French bread pizza. There is soooooooo much more but that's enough for now. Ya think I have an ISSUE with food or what ?

I try not to punish myself about eating/drinking anything, if in moderation.

Eventually you realize that in Weight Loss Surgery there is no black or white, good or bad - it's all individual. If we want to eat some things, we might have to cut back on others. It's not about 'danger' foods to me.

Since I've been banded I realized something.

And this is to answer Telly's original question about weight loss as you get closer to goal.

My favourite food groups are now: Seafood, Cheese, Fruit and Wine. :hungry: (Maybe not exactly in that order. :) )

Deep down I honestly eat like a chic Parisian woman :) . Who knew? (Only now, I don't eat the croissants, all that doughy bread is just no longer on my menu, at this level of restriction.)

And now that I've lost weight, I can dress more like a fashionable French woman, too. Works for me!

J'aviais l'habitude de vivre pour manger, maintenant juste je mange pour vivre.

(Roughly translated: I used to live to eat, now I just eat to live.)

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
