5 Confessions (Join In)

[shane martin1969 188]

i confess this sleeve has been harder on relationship than expected!

i confess my emotions are running wild!

I confess the feelings of "alone" are the worst!

I confess this site has given me hope, peace and a future!

[babywools 34]

My five pre-sleeve confessions:

1. I am really scared and excited at the same time about the surgery. What if it doesn't work for me?

2. I have been eating non stop lately. I guess n preparation for not eating. (Bad I know. I don't have a date yet!)

3. I want the process to hurry up. I think about jumping in a plane to Mexico every day instead of waiting and going through the steps here.

4. My DH makes fat jokes all the time and is very unsupportive of everything. I am not sure how I will manage "alone."

5. I am really looking forward to being healthy and sexy again.

Don't u guys love this thread! I had confessions before but have more

1. I eat a cookie or candy or ice cream if I want- just very small amt

2. I never exercise and I'm 5 wks out- where and how the heck can I get motivated!!!

3. I eat too fast- still but getting better!

4. I'm so glad that surgery is over and I feel over the hump. I didn't feel like myself after surgery and I'm so happy to be without pain, can eat reg food and feel normal again!

5. I ate potato chips the other day- a handful and they tasted so good and went down Really easy chewed well and I'm not even a chip fan- uh oh!!

[slimshadee 26]

Ok, here goes ... I am 8 months out. SW 226, CW 160 (ha, auto correct replaced CW with cow!)

1) other than walking, I have done zero exercise

2) I drink caffeinated coffee 3-4 days per week

3) I eat all kinds of junk in relatively small quantities Cookies, chips,chocolate, fried foods

4) I was surprised to lose 3 lbs over the holidays

5) I rarely get all my fluids in unless I really concentrate

6) though compliance for me has been tough, this is the best thing I've ever done

[VSGRachel 25]

I confess that I'm a little jealous of these 18 year olds. hahaha. I'm sure there are challenges to being sleeved so young' date=' but what I wouldn't give to live my 20's over without being obese! All power to you gals. Make sure to enjoy the next few years of your life!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Me too!

(1) I confess I don't understand the concept of myself as 'not' being that "fat girl with the cute face". Can I really be seen as anything else?!

(2) I confess that I am slightly obsessed with the "next size down". When I was an 18 I always tried to squeeze into 16s. Now that I'm a 6/8, why am I disappointed that the next size down doesn't fit??!

(3) I confess that sometimes I'm really lonely, and that losing 85 lbs hasn't taken that feeling away

(4) I confess that I have no idea how to handle/date the opposite sex now. It's a different ball game and no one sent me the instructions!

(5) I confess that I wish sometimes that the world was "clothing optional" so I could show off the new bod. Kidding!!!! But I do enjoy going out just for the game of being looked at. I remember the day 8-9 months ago when I would dread just going to the grocery store because I didn't want to be seen

My confessions are PRE sleeve (I only JUST got a consult date!) So I'm sure I'll be back once this process really gets going!

I confess::

1) That I visit this forum WAY too much. One might say I am currently obsessed.

2) I'm scared that the hoops that I have to jump through to get this procedure done will be too much and I won't get sleeved.

3) I'm scared if I get sleeved I will change too much as a person (I like myself on the inside, so I hope I don't change too much) and my hubby, who I am CRAZY in love with wont like the new

Me...

4) I don't want my kids remembering the obese me. I want them to know the fit healthy mom. It's important to me that I become that remodel that they so deserve!

5) I just hope that if/when I have my surgery I have a good outcome without complications.

That it for now, but I'm sure I'll be back!

I confess that I Have no ideal how to eat right still I'm on soft food so I eat and puke

I confess that food is always on my mind and whatever I eat is not keeping me full

I confess that maybe I should be walking more then I could but the pain is was keeping me from doing anything

I confess that I'm doing this all alone and no support from anyone

I seriously felt like I was reading my own cofessions!! I eat I puke and im on soft foods I cant help it:(!!

[Gagirl90 4]

*I want a hamburger so bad and I get mad when my family eats steak that while im on protien, soft foods, and Soup.

*I am scared I wont lose weight.

*I confess I dont drink my Protein like I should.

*My fiancee drives me crazy sometimes telling me how to eat. Hes ovwr protective

I confess.. Honestly

~ I'm afraid to eat in fear of one day puking like with the band and having complications

~ Sometimes the forum pisses me off, but understand ...to each his own

~ I am never happy with my weight regardless of what it is

~ I walk/treadmill, but seriously doubt I'll ever do more

~ I eat baby/toddler meals and love them

~ I set wrong goals ie: when I can drink wine or a sweet potato etc.

~ I never got rid of my clothes after I out grew them and pathetically borrowed clothes instead of buying bigger. Been wearing ( hiding in) jeans and sweatshirts for a year

~ wish my daughter would get sleeved, but will never tell her in fear if something went wrong I'd never be able to live with myself.

Have an honest conversation with her about your struggles with weight. Mine is 13and loves food but is very active so she is pretty fit. But the potential for her to gain is certainly there and she struggles a lot. We have had several very honest conversations where I had to really be vulnerable and not the confident fat girl, so she knows how bad I suffered because of my weight. It motivates her to do better.

Tried babyfood...ughh too bland for me but wish it wasn't so I could avoid cooking from time to time.

I usually walk too but my husband has me doing some weights and I really enjoy it. It really makes a difference and I feel so much stronger.

I doubt you will change. You might find that your good inside is amplified once the weight starts to come off. I visit people more often, engage in conversations more, even volunteer at school more, because I feel so much better.

[Brandywine 74]

Here goes:

I confess I have been so moody to my family since surgery. I'm happy w my results why on earth am I such a B! I love my kiddos but I feel lonely, and sadly I have the best husband ever what the heck is wrong with me!

I confess I love margaritas and wine ( wouldn't have had surgery if I could never have again) only once a week and only 1 drink but I do it.

I confess I can NOT get motivated to work out!

We did this drastic surgery not to just sit on our buts! Why!!!! Is it sill so hard even At 60 lbs down.

I confess I'm bored w food and never eat veggies just Protein and I know I need to be more balanced.

Thanks for listening

Nooooo... Not at all. I eat the older toddler trays and pouches. Dishes like ravioli, chicken stew, blk bean Soup, and many more. Add you own spices and/or ingredients and it's a perfect size and textured tasting meal.
