Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Right now sitting in the breakroom, AKA the Junk food Palace has a huge bag of Tortilla chips and Salsa - and Caramel D'Lights Girl Scout Cookies. Both of these are my FAVORITES!!! My mouth watered... I looked at them and imagined the salty and sweet taste in my mouth.

Then I washed my salad bowl I had for lunch, and turned my back and walked right out the door. Oh I'm such a good good girl. Hey, I gotta pat myself on the back once in a while for a job well done.

ETA: It's my Mother Nature time too... so this is extremely significant for me. Yay!!!

VICTORY!!!

That is all. :)

Now that is what I call a COMPLETE AND UTTER VICTORY!!

People think that this surgery is a magic wand... and you've just proven that it is all about taken advantage of out tiny tummies and making the right choices at the right time...

Well Done Diva x

Victory is yours! Way to go... just walk away from all the crappy junk food! Nice thing is our company has replaced most of the junk foods with healthy options and have lots lower prices on the healthy food and Water ($0.25) than the junk and pop $1.25).

Keep up the good work - you inspire us all!

Awww thanks ladies!! :-) I felt so good about that. Believe me... I'm no way perfect - I've indulged here and there but I'm trying to do much better. I wanted to give in!!! But... I just had to walk away. That is a good idea putting healthy choices out there. Some people do sometimes. But usually theres Cookies, candy, fudge, brownies, chips, crackers - just about everything I should NOT be eating. This isn't just Holidays either... I've been working in this unit for almost four years now - and it's been like this for four out of those four years... LOL :-)

I'm not going to NOT eat this stuff forever of course but I just want to stay strong until I hit goal. By then I hope to not want this stuff anymore. (Yeah right!)

Hugs!! I know we can do this!!!

        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
