Desert nostalgia



Recommended Posts

I know. You probably do not want to read about dessert nostalgia, but it is a little bit of a rant. A small burning candle that is slowly winking back into existence. I thought the flame blew out a long time ago on that part of me. The cravings are not really there, not magnetic. That is the odd part. it is more like the loss of the good times with having a dessert. It is like the memories are right on the other side of an opaque veil. I cannot see them, but I sense they are there. It is a little sad thinking about it and then knowing it is not the time to have them being far out on the post op journey. I am sure I am a little late in mourning deserts; others took care of this issue closer to surgery. Dessert is on the mind: cold stone ice cream, a brownie, an apple fritter, some Oreos or some old fashion donut holes. Does that mean I am losing resolve to eat healthy and live the post op lifestyle? No, probably not. I have not deviated so far and that has helped with success. Just a little down about it tonight. Why can't this part of me just go away? Who can relate to this rant?

Andy you know I can! It's weird that this is hitting you now.. I wonder why? As you know I battle my mind with wanting tasty bites quite often. Some nights it's a tough battle. Others it's just a passing thought..

I don't think I will ever lose that part me,

I wish I could though.

I don't what it is and am having trouble putting my finger on it. Maybe I have buried some of these food issues when I decided to live a healthy lifestyle. They are rising from my cemetery of bones.

I think it must be hard to be at goal! I mean think about when we've lost the weight before. There was always an end to the diet right?

Done, finished, normal, carry on,

Dude....eat a cookie and cheer up. :P We can't go through the rest of our lives feeling guilty for what we want or the feelings that we have. We have to give ourselves permission to just be.... we will never be normal, we are all mutants, but what we can be, is honest. Honest that we have feelings that may never go away. Its okay to feel that way...and if an Oreo comes by every once in a while, then we deal, one way or another.

So lets get a dune buggy and hit the desert!!! :D

I had my casein chocolate Protein Shake a few minutes ago and feeling better. :) mmm, chocolate. Just as an fyi- the casein Protein is definitely more satisfying then whey protein when you need something in the evening. Again, it is weird. This is the first time I had had these dessert battles. Literally only tonight. Now good riddance to them!!

      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.
