Flame Free Friday Confessions!

I feel like everything I have eaten is wrong and now I'm stressing that I messed up my sleeve or stretched it or who knows what.

Im 3 weeks out, and I have given up on Protein shakes...I can't find a supplement that doesn't taste like crap...Also, I refuse to eat blenderized meat, so I've been eating soft meats to get my protein in. Today, I had Shrimp Lo Mein, I ate a total of 5 shrimp (chewed well) and 3 forkfuls of soft noodles. On advice from my Dr, I have also been eating Underwood Deviled Ham on wheat crackers. Mango smoothies from Mickey D's have become a lunchtime treat-I can only eat a few spoonfuls, but can I say YUMEE???

Terri! I am right there with you... I will be 3 weeks on Monday, and shakes are not working right now. I am trying desperately to get more food protein in. Shrimp sounds yummy :)

my BS life (Before Surgery)

ha ha - love that! I'm beginning to feel that life "before" was a bunch of BS. Denial and fear! Now we're on the other side, authentically watching our health and well being!

Last night...Trader Joe's vegetable sticks dipped in pub cheese. Yum... Why is it that the bad stuff goes down so easily??!!

Seriously, folks. Try unflavored whey powder, sweeten it to your taste.with Splenda or whatever. I just had 60 grams Protein which includes the 1 cup of skim milk. I put it in a big glass and hit it with a wand blender. Easy cleaning, goes down easily, tastes like melted ice cream.

If you drink just a half cup twice a day it is easy to make up the rest with other stuff.

Greek Yogurt is delicious and has a lot of Protein. If you like cottage cheese, it's got a lot of Protein too.

Oh no, nobody will read this because it's not friday anymore!

Actually except for the carbs' date=' your's is the healthiest cheat.

I have this one inch square of 72% dark chocolate everyday. It tastes like sin ;-)[/quote']

True. But I felt SO guilty for the chips! LOL! They were delicious! I also had a frozen margarita over a 2 hour period last night.

I hate Greek yogurt-too thick & gooey-but I love cottage cheese & fruit! I try to have some cottage cheese everyday :)

I also went to Wallyworld today & replaced my broken blender. In the morning, I'm going grocery shopping for fruit to pop in my GNC Lean 25 smoothies. Yay! Maybe I can finally get some protein!

I ate hummus with about 8 corn chips this week! :o

Wow, that's a cheat for you? LOL It's a meal for me. :) I LOVE hummus, and my sleeve tolerates corn chips so much better than any other sort of cracker. I eat this regularly, around the same amount as you, as one of my five mini-meals. Lemon hummus is my favorite. I do sometimes eat the hummus with cucumber instead of chips for dipping, but seriously--I'm a corn-chip girl, love them, eat them regularly, and don't sweat it. I'm not low-carbing, though. I think this is a pretty healthy cheat--good for you!

I'm only 2 months out today and my NUT says no chips until after 3 months. I haven't been very adventurous since I introduced solid food. But I can see this being a regular menu rotation when I'm technically allowed to have them.

It ain't Friday, but I'm on mushies (wk 3) and I refuse to eat pureed meat! That is beyond gross to me! I eat VERY soft meat bits or meat that is already mushy (Deviled ham or Deviled roast beef). And today I had a baked chicken wing drummerte! It was soooo good & melt in your mouth tender! I am still drinking Protein Shakes & I have become a HUGE baked potato fan! My NUT let me add crackers in week 3 & they are my new bread! I can eat 3 whole wheat crackers w/turkey breast & cheese-that's a meal for me! :)

      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
