I've had unopened potato chips for a week!



Recommended Posts

I realized something this morning, I've had my favorite kind of potato chips sitting on the shelf, unopened, for a week now.

To most people this is a stupid realization, but to think I've had one of my favorite foods in the house getting ignored is a huge success for me. I feel like I have shed my food-addicted skin and am a completely different person.

Also - I'm 2 months post-op to the day and down 50lbs! Go sleeve!

Thats great!! I don't really have a favorite food right now..If I would say favorite it would be a big ol steak and bake potato.. I know that really don't sound like a guilty pleasure, but there is nothing better...lol

But seriously be really proud of your accomplishments... good luck

Congratulations!! It's the best, isn't it? I have about 5 bags of unopened chocolate chips (didn't use them for Cookies at Christmas) sitting on my shelf and they're just sitting there!! Not calling to me, not doing anything. Isn't that the best feeling??

I LOVE THIS SLEEVE!!

I've had OPENED Doritos in my cupboard for 2 weeks and haven't touched ONE! And let me tell you, they used to be my trigger food...I could demolish an entire bag by myself. I have no interest in them whatsoever. Never mind I can't eat them right now (still in soft foods) but they just are repulsive to me right now.

      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. 🤞

      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.
