Totally Blew It....



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks out, and have been in a stall for 10 days. I have been so frustrated! Yesterday my frustration culminated in me compltely blowing my diet. I ate a bag of M&Ms, and a piece of cake. I thought I was done, then I came home and somebody had left a whole plate of cupcakes on my counter for me. I knew I couldn't get them all down, so I just ate the frosting off of them.

I got up this morning, and guess what? After no losses in 10 days, I lost 3 pounds! Crazy!

Now I don't feel quite so guilty (although I know I shouldn't do that again!).

Omg that is wrong on so many levels! :P

I'll be right back to yell at you, I've been in a stall for a month and I'm running to the store to buy m&ms and frosting :D

Haha, don't do it!! (get the food, or yell at me!)

OMG.. Licking the frosting off cupcakes is soooo me!

And it is weird how when you eat a no no food you tend to lose.. Maybe it's from guilt ;)

Imma going to yell! :P Because I know if I tried that I would gain ten pounds over night!

I have heard of people in a stall doing a high fat diet to kick start weight loss again...

But I don't know??

I don't know but I'm pretty sure I would be happy just licking your face and smelling your breath after eating that....but I'd probably gain 5 pounds just doing that......

Sheesh.....Most days I'm so happy with my sleeve and some days, like today, I'm one salmon patty away from the nice young men in the clean white coats that are coming to take me away..... :wacko::blink::o

Eat whatever you want it it fits within your daily allowed macros(Protein,carbs,fats). You lost weight because the added calories gave a little boost to your metabolism. I usually go 3 days eating below 60g of carbs from good sources and then on the fourth day eat over 300g of carbs from anything I want... keeps my metabolism charging along. I hIt a stall every couple weeks but nothing a boost in Protein and calories won't fix.

Your early out so IMO I would focus on keeping your metabolism working hard rather than restricting calories to unhealthy level. Its not so easy getting your metabolism working again at normal levels.

I have also noticed that when i hit my stalls if i eat some bad things, one time i had some pizza, that it ends my stall faster. Now like others, i don't recommend doing this, and it's not something i practice regularly. Usually i just try to up my intake of good foods, i usually end up feeling like all i've done is eat ( healthy foods mind you), and then my stall ends. But man frosting sure sounds amazing!

I've actually noticed the same thing with stalls. Ill pretty much follow my low carb diet for months perfectly and then hit a stall. If I eat something naughty my stall tends to break. I think it's just changing it up.

      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.
