oh where to begin. I've got two years plus on many people here.

I drink with a straw all the time (but I didn't for the first few months)

I had to have a come to my senses talk with myself that I can no longer drink more than two drinks in a couple of hours since I weigh a lot less than i used to.

I count my caffeinated coffee toward my fluids for the day.

I hate taking my Calcium and have to talk myself into it. (It doesn't fit in my pill holder so it's an extra step to count them out and take them.)

If it's on the no list, I have eaten it, including celery, coconut, spicy, you name it.

I ate Pork rinds for months and counted the Protein until someone mentioned that the Protein in pork rinds is not absorbed so it doesn't count.

I had to reset my bounce range because after getting to goal I spent some time eating enough crap to sink a battleship.

Let's see... I'm 5 months post-op and....

I take adderall for add - which causes me to not eat as much as I should.

I still smoke

I drink wine occasionally

I still eat treats like blue berry muffins, slice of cake, mini ice cream cones - on occasion. Not a lot. But still.

I drink 2 cups of coffee a day

Sometimes I will take ex-lax when I feel constipated.

I don't pay attention to fat; just total carbs.

I feel like the WORST person here. Lol. That seems like a lot of bad all at once. I do need to kick smoking and treats I know, but my saving grace is that I'm pretty good at getting my fluids, Vitamins and Protein every day.

I've lost a total of 71 lbs. :)

Ooh, here's another good one: I was told to never chew gum again. But like 5 days after surgery, I totally got some gum and chewed it anyways. Oh yea, I was a rebel.

****! I'm just dieting before surgery on Nov 4th; not even on my pre-op diet yet and already today I fell of the wagon face first into McfuckingDonald's fries. I'm screwed! This tread is hilarious! Can't wait till I have my VSG, I'll probably use a Snickers as a suppository. God forbid if I get a craving during PMS week. I have lost 11 lbs in two weeks.

I've broken a lot of rules- snacking, eating too fast, using a straw... I could go on & on! But at the end of the day, you have to forgive yourself and crack on. Oh, and I haven't exercised in like 3 weeks! Eek. I'm going to the gym in the morning. I swear. Really, I can't wait.

      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.
