I confess that I ate half of a chocolate chip cookie today- and it was divine.

I confess that I weigh myself everyday and get aggravated that I have weighed 180.9 and then 180.4 and then 180.2 and I just want to see 179!!!

i confess that my teenage daughter's laughed their asses off because my underwear hangs off my ass 😂😂

I confess that I am a little scared of food so I am not getting enough calories each day:(

i confess that I secretly smile when I no longer hear my pants sound like they are going to start a fire when I walk from my thighs rubbing together:)

I don't (can't?) see that much of a change in the mirror.

I am happier then I have ever been.

I eat chips and chocolate.

I am angry about having loose skin.

I am so excited about the future.

I confess I weigh daily even though I know I shouldn't.

I confess I "modified" the puréed stage to include more real food. HOWEVER I still lost weight and never had any issues with the foods I ate.

I confess that I'm elated when people say I look good, but hate it when they over do it. It's becomes awkward and uncomfortable.

I confess I'm thoroughly shocked at the progress I've made. Granted I knew weight loss should be quick, but never expected it this quick. I've lost 70 lbs overall, but 37 lbs since Oct 30th surgery day.

I confess I worry about if/when I reach my goal, and how well I'm able to maintain the weight. I feel a lot more confident with having the surgery but it's sooooo easy to fall back into poor choices/habits.

I confess that I too modified the Puréed stage. I worry about how its going to go inn the next months. I haven’t lost as much as I want. I confess I am keeping pictures of me a secret so I can get a bigger effect from my family when I see them in June.

I confess I drink caffeinated coffee

I confess I still skip Breakfast and replace it with Protein

I confess I weigh myself every single day

I confess I don't get to exercise as often as I'd like

I confess I've lost 48 lbs and still see a bigger me

Bonus Confession

I really feel uncomfortable when someone comments on my weight loss. It's very awkward for me.

I have the same issue when people comment on my weighloss especially when they ask how much weight I've lost. While my family and close friends know I had surgery I don't tell every random person in my life for I always feel like a fraud when they ask what I'm doing and I say diet and exercise.

No way guys dont feel like a fraud .. of course it's up to everyone if they want to tell others About having the surgery but im ok with telling. I look at the surgery as a weight lose tool, its no way an easy fix or a cheat. This surgery has been one of the hardest things I've tried in my weight loss journey and I'm proud to say as of today I've lost 55 lbs. I also still see a bigger me but I can still tell a diff when I look in a mirror or try on clothes now. I can't wait to lose another 150 lbs. Good luck everyone

This is a pretty fun topic

1. I still haven't lost my sweet tooth, I just keep it to small bites.

2. I am still having a hard time adjusting my portion size to the reality of the size of my stomach. My dog is the beneficiary of So Much Wasted food. And he keeps me from overeating. I feel guilty about 'wasting' food, but if I'm feeding him, it's not wasted right?

3. Every day I struggle to make the right choices, but I do weigh myself daily and accept the responsibility that any uptick is the direct result of a poor choice the day before (even if that is not true, it's my delusion and I'm sticking to it.)

4. Part of the issue is that in 5 months I have yet to experience a full on episode of 'dumping syndrome.' I think I've had very mild/partial reactions to heavy carb/sweets, but nothing like what I was expecting. I have to rely entirely on my own willpower to make the right choices.

5. I struggle with Water content, Protein content, and getting enough exercise. I know that I don't want to be someone who regains all of my weight and I try to be mindful that this weight loss experience won't last forever.

      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.
