Rough Food Challening evening



Recommended Posts

I went to go do my favorite thing with the family and friends this evening. We went to watch the races at the dirt track! I had a blast, but everyone was eating my favorite things, nachos and cheese, French fries with cheese and chili, burritos....... Kept asking me want some, and I of course said yes I do, but No thanks. It was so hard to not touch any of it. I just drank my Water and watched the race. So very challenging. All in all I made it through the evening without giving into my indulgences:) I am proud of myself, but it was so hard!

Great job!!! I had a similar situation this week where I was standing in my work's breakroom heating up my Meal Replacement and my only other companion was 5 pizza boxes and powdered donuts. I had to stand there by myself with no other witness and not touch it. I did it and I was so proud of myself when I got back to my desk but wow was I sad while I was in there lol!!

Wow!! How strong are you!!! I can relate! I am still on my pre-op diet, but I have survived two pizza party lunches (last week of school there are lots of celebrations with food) and endless cakes and cupcakes. I drank my yummy Protein Shake and Water and had no pizza or cake. One of the other teachers said, "I can't believe how strong you were!" That made me feel great! We can do this!

Thank you all for the compliments! It was hard, but yes I feel so good that I was able to just say no thanks! The only other thing that is bothering me is that I am stuck at the same weight loss of 16lbs. Given that I haven't had a fill, is this normal or should I being doing something? I began exercising yesterday, mostly swimming because I am still recovering from a severe ankle break from February.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
