Nope!! It's a slippery slope for me' date=' especially with sweets. I can't allow myself to cheat, especially at this point, bc who knows where I'll end up! I have NO willpower with sweets and will have to stay away from most altogether to stay on track.

Don't cheat!! You're strong...and you can do this! You're only cheating yourself. Just think long term and put in your mind, the reasons you went through this drastic surgery.

I bought a cute, size 14 dress that I look at, along with a picture of my children when feeling tempted.

Try to distract yourself...you got this, girls!!![/quote']

I will try to do better. I realize i reach for something and don't realize what i am doing out of habit. I am back on track today. Just a little oops along my journey.

Sugar is like crack to me. I don't have an urge and I'm staying away as long as I can.

Has anyone cheated yet? I had a small cookie tonight while carving pumpkins with my family. I chewed it into nothing before i swallowed.

I haven't had any Cookies yet... I did have a bite of a twizzler. Lol my daughter didn't want it and handed to me and like second nature I bit it then threw the rest out after catching myself.

Wow your are on soft foods early. I don't get to start until Sunday. I haven't had any issues with food either. I am really shocked at how easy this has been.

Worked my first "real" day of work yesterday. It only ended up being 6 hours and I was glad because I was so tired afterwards, but then when I got home of course I got my second wind and didn't get to bed til 10PM. Tonight is the true test I have 3 nights overnight training 10-7AM it won't be as busy lie the day so I can definitely get in my Protein & fluids since it's more relaxed. I just hope I can stay awake. After those 3 nights so glad that I have normal shifts :*) I also got in a 30 minute walk on my break. Found a gym close by, lots of shopping and Tony Romas when I am able to eat real food ;*) My pain is very minimal now, I feel like my incisions are healing well and for the most part I have no interest in real food which is good because I am still so far away from having it. Today I FINALLY picked up the house and did dishes. Now to relax before work.

How is the overnight training going? I finally feel like I am healing now. I only worked a few days last week. I am back to my normal 10 hour days this week. I take a good nap at lunch and feel better than last week. Are you having trouble getting in protein and fluids now that you are back to work?

Thanks! It sounds like so little' date=' but I'm trying to think of every pound lost as a little victory. That's hard to do when I still have almost 100 to go!!! :/[/quote']

I understand! I have 150 pounds to lose. But we're in this together & we'll take it one pound at a time. =)

This has been fairly easy. I'm sick of Protein Shakes, though. They're so sweet!
