5 months out Christmas is interesting



Recommended Posts

Keep nibbling and feel sick/full. Not enjoying all the food. Need to go back to regular meals. Look forward to getting back to normal. Far too many calories consumed in alcohol this past few weeks. Ugh. Lactose intolerant and no breads for me anymore. But 57 lbs down!

I'm also 5 months out, and over the weekend we went grocery shopping for family that came in for Christmas. I realized how much I hate food shopping! Espeicially having to figure out what meals to make for other people! It made me SOO irritated!

As far as food - I've been fine. I don't drinnk alcohol anymore, because I've found that even after a sip or 2 I start feeling it!!

Can't wait to get back to my regular meal and exercise schedule!! Down 70lbs!!

I feel the same, I don't know why food is such an important part of Christmas, I genuinely feel sick and want to get back to normal! 2 months post op, and I just don't get the same satisfaction from food as before! Weird!!!

Merry Christmas xxx

All day I kept thinking how next year will be when I'm 11 months out and hopefully at goal. I wonder how I'll handle it and if I will get grief because I'm not eating much. I am not sharing this surgery with extended family. Hopefully by that time I will have figured out how to handle those types of situations. Thinking of just saying I gave up sugar and carbs and that it's too if of a weakness for me.

I am 7.5 months out. I can't wait until tomorrow - I am going back on Lil Miss Diva's Boot Camp, which is a great way to eat for 5 days. I know it will get me back on track and feeling good! In the past I would have dreaded giving up "treats", now I can't wait to get Christmas out of the way. :)

I am about 5 months out. I have lost 45 pounds total. I feel great and I have not regretted having the surgery one bit. I cook for my husband all the time with no issues. I watch my Protein intake and still occasionally have one shake a day. I continue to follow my doctors orders regarding food intake and exercise. I do not want to go back to old habits. One reason for my having the surgery was to get control of my eating habits which it definitely has. I want to lose about 25 more pounds..I can see that happening within the next few months.

Yes! Ready to get back to normal! Too many slider foods in my house! Sent the last of the fudge out the door with my husband, going to clean out the fridge today and go back to my good eating of protein!! No more Christmas excuses for me! Glad to see I am not the only one who ate, drank and was marry this year!

Another reason to love my sleeve: I actually lost 2 pounds over the long Christmas weekend! And I ate whatever I wanted, just a lot less of it. I'm four months out and am just now adding a bit of carbs to my diet. I actually think that has kick started my loss. I stalled for over two weeks and once I upped the carb intake, it's been a steady loss. I hope everyone had a great holiday and stayed safe!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
