first thing is to say to yourself it happened and it's over. Don't beat yourself up. We are all involved in a new process and we are all going to have our set-backs. Now go back to the basics--get your Protein and your Water. If you are tempted to eat things that you know aren't good for you stop and ask yourself, Do I want this bad enough to undo all the hard work and good that I have done? chances are the answer is Heck NO! Also look at a picture of yourself before you started and look at one of you now, sometimes that is enough to help you find the willpower to JUST SAY NO! Good luck and remember it was just a slip, the whole train didn't derail.

I think that it's all in the planning. Set aside a couple hours and make yourself healthy food for the week, and make it available and easy for you to heat up quickly when you have the urge to just grab something unhealthy. That's my plan of attack to stay on track (no rhyme intended). So many times we grab things and eat them for convenience sake. Good luck- 1 lb is SO reversible.

I did the same thing and today I'm back to basics... Vitamins Protein and water! I allowed my self some holiday indulgence and I'd be shocked if the scale wasn't up tomorrow! but it's the the end of the world because I know that no matter how much it's up it will a..not be anywhere near what I would have been prior to the sleeve and b. it's what I want for life and I have set my goals and am moving forward. It's very challenging especially since I have family here until the 9th. (my mom just tried to bring me a box of candy as I was typing this!!)

Set a goal even a small one.. I have a valentines goal of hitting my 75lbs lost!! Prior to tomorrows WI I am 11lbs away it could not be 12 or 15.. and that's OK.. I'll get there by watching what I eat and working out!

I am 16 weeks out just Monday. I was a junkfood aholic. I just don't keep it in the house, remove all junk from your house. When I grocery shop I stay away from it. I have not had ANY junk since surgery and really I don't need it. I love eating my Protein, little veggie and sometimes yogurt. You can do this!!!

This is my favorite quote "Nothing tastes as good as being skinny feels" 1 pound is nothing! You can do this!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
