Ok I wasn't gonna do it for fear of being judged but WTH here goes...

1) I have had some wine

2) I have had some chocolate.

3) I have started smoking again

4) I would kill for a Big Mac with extra sauce

5) I have had anxiety attacks post surgery.

I know' date=' I know. All I can say is this is so much more than I anticipated. I am adjusting but this is a HUGE change. I didn't underestimate the commitment but I didn't fully realize the entire impact. I know I will succeed but obviously not without testing some limits.[/quote']

This is such a great thing to do.

I confess I don't eat all my Protein or drink enough Water most days (I find it hard and I forget to eat)

I confess I am scared to be skinny (as I have never been)

I confess I am so worried about excess skin

I confess I am also worried about regaining weight and going back to being fat

Wow I feel so much better

[Isobella 13]

It depresses me that I turned down an awesome family cruise during Christmas just to avoid having to watch everyone eat their hearts out, and to avoid judgement.

I am afraid of possible unknown side effects of ghrelin deficiency.

As miserable as I've been post op, I tell everyone I've been great out of fear of the "I told you so" attitude.

I had dreams about food almost every night for the first 5 days post op lol

I miss Pasta, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, sweet iced tea, and awesome blossoms from Outback. I miss the carb coma feeling.

I look at clothing stores online and have contemplated buying a size 8 dress (I'm a 20).

I confess I do not exercise, I confess I smoke sometimes but started chantex, I confess I do not like buying clothes because the size does not last I am now a 12/10 , I confess when I see people on the site who have lost way more then me having the same surgery date, I confess when I go out to eat I am more aware of how much people eat, and how big they are. But overall I confess I cannot remember when I felt so good about myself

1. I confess that I never have gotten in all my fluids, Protein, and Vitamins on the same day.

2. I confess that I haven't been to the gym since June.

3. I confess that I enjoy a few cocktails per month.

4. I confess that I like the look on people's faces that I have seen since surgery.

5. I confess that before surgery I was in such a deep lonely depression that I didn't think I deserved to live.

Dang that felt good!!

I have NEVER gotten in all my Proteins, Vitamins and fluids in on one day...is it even possible??

I've had some wine...without guilt!

[KristieAtkinson 589]

I confess that:

* sometimes I miss ICE CREAM!!!

* I compare myself to others success & get really frustrated cuz I've been working SO hard & some are able to just let the surgery do the work.

* I second guess if I picked the right surgery when I am stalled (which is a lot!)

* I also weigh myself several times a day.

* I struggle to see the new me in the mirror. All I see is the BIG me. Even buying smaller clothes cannot convince me to SEE.

* I'm terrified that I will never get the rest of this weight off.

I haven't been sleeved yet but I am hoping by end of September. Here are my pre-op confessions:

1) I confess... I have been obsessing over this procedure since I started looking into it in April.

2) I confess... I have NOT followed my nutritionist's recommendations to the letter which makes me fear how I will handle life after surgery.

3) I confess... I am worried about the post-op emotional impact, I'm already such a wreck.

4) I confess... I am afraid that even surgery won't work for me.

5) I confess... I have only made it to the gym maybe 10 times in the last month which makes me worry about my post-op goals even more.

6) (extra bonus) I confess that, no matter what else I have posted, my asthma will keep me from getting the surgery and/or keep me from waking up after it.

I confess I am guilty of 1,2,4&5 and as for 6 I don't have asthma but I always worry I won't wake up after or I that I will have a blood clot or other complication that kills me.. I am a crazy anxious person about death when it comes to surgeries...

[Jill279 65]

I confess this is an excellent thread...

[charmichelle 15]

I confess:

Im only a few days out and im able to get in all 64 oz of Fluid and still feel hungry. And that makes me afraid.

I still havent told my bf

I feel like all my friends/eating buddies are going to abandon me.

Im afraid that i may not be able to make it to Onederland.

I cant wait to lose the "girls" weighing my shoulders down.
