Fell off track during the holidays....



Recommended Posts

Oh my goodness! I had difficulty staying on track during the holidays. I'm up 2 lbs. and I'm getting discouraged. I just started Day 45 and I'm in the regular transitional phase of the diet. Any suggestions as to how I can get back on track?

Just don't stop. You know what to do, you have been doing for over a month now. Water, nutrition, exercise, sleep, love yourself.

Measure, track and pay atention to your foods. Small bites, no fluids with your foods. No sliders, no "bad foods".

You have hit your body with food that will, literally, make you crave more of the same. Avoid tha carbs, the trans fats, the salts, grains. Make every bite count, be full of wonderful, full of sunshine and health.

Cantaloupe and melons and peaches, banannas, berries, squash, Beans and nuts, figs (OMG FIGGS) - all are in abundance right now - it's literally the time of the harvest. Don't look at is as doing without or back to anything mundane - get creative with your 'back on track".

No worries. Just get back to the basics. You will have those moments when you get off track. But as long as you recognize it before you go too far, you'll be ok. I've strayed once in a while, and get right back to the basics. 10 mon post op & still losing. So, don't be discouraged. It's ok. Good luck!

People are not defined by the mistakes they make but by the way they recover from those mistakes. You have obviously accepted what you did now get back on track and you will be fine. I don't believe anyone should deny themselves everything they like you just need to be able to deal with it and adjust to make up for reading the things you like sometimes.

I am only 5 days post op gastric sleeve and I just licked and sucked the cheese off of a .25 cent bag of Doritos. I didn't eat the chips. All chips are in the garbage. But I feel like a failure. It's too soon to indulge in cravings and I just dived in. Not a good sign. :( :(

I'm depressed and finding that I am picking up bad eating habits. I really need help to get back of track. Any suggestions?

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
