I confess that it is still hard giving away my clothes that are too big. I confess I am worried about weight gain during my hospitalization after undergoing neurosurgery again for the second time in one year. I confess that I was very annoyed that my surgeon restricted my workouts pre-op' date=' which added to me not reaching and being stuck at 99lbs. I confess that I've had a few glasses of wine to prepare myself for going into the hospital in the morning. I confess I've been so stressed about surgery again that I haven't gotten in my usual Protein and Water intake over the last week.[/quote']

I wish you well. Take care and keep us posted.

I confess that I still think about an ice cold Diet Coke. Every. Single. Day.

I confess that if I am out making a decision about what is best for me to eat, I still order WAY too much.

I confess that for ELEVEN days, my scale did not move and it terrified me.

I confess that I can't wait for the day that shaving my legs and "stuff" doesn't require two hours and an oxygen tank!

I confess that tonight at dinner, I snuck a noodle - Oh the HORROR!

Can I keep going?

I confess that I can't wait to read more and more and more confessions from others!

Wishing you all the luck and strength in the world to you :)

Mahow, everyday is a new day. It's okay to ask for help, that's how we all got here is by ignoring our needs.

I confess I do excercise alot

I confess I drink once a week

I confess at 5 months out I am desperately needing to hear that people do lose weight passed the stalls. That people succeed even if they drink once a week or have a couple pretzels.< /p>

I confess that I need support from people who are close to a year out because if I wake up at 187 pounds again tomorrow I confess I might eat french toast for Breakfast and not excercise at all!!

Hey don't give up. Start fresh....make that appt, change your eating habits start taking your Vitamins, maybe get a counselor or group therapy, but don't give up. Like they say...you haven't failed until you have given up.

I confess that...

  • I still mostly see myself as I looked pre-surgery.
  • I compare myself to people having better progress.
  • I don't give myself enough credit for what I have achieved (as proven by the first two confessions).
  • I do give into cravings sometimes.
  • I drink pop and Starbucks every so often. Not nearly as much as I used to, though.
  • I think about food and eating more than I should.
  • I need to be more strict in making sure I get in all of my Water and Protein everyday.
  • Sometimes I wish that I can keep eating after my stomach tells me to stop.
  • I am too focused on weighing myself and the number on the scale.< br />
  • I'm afraid that I won't reach my goal.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
