What I'm I going to do

There is a new Krispy Kream Doughnuts in my area. The hot light was on and cars lined up from the streets with police patrol. I just drove on by without succumbing to that temptation. Note to self, new route home.

Congratulations on your wise decision,

One thing has worked with me regarding fast food, and actually I used this for the last several years even before starting my WLS journey - keep in mind how it can be disappointing! I kept seeing an ad for a new Wendy's sandwich that looked great, fresh lettuce, fluffy bun, etc. I gave in and got one and it looked like most fast food, slapped together and resembling something that had been sat on! There was no sauce, the bun was smashed and squished, it wasn't hot enough, and it all added up to a waste of 450 calories on something that wasn't even good. Ads usually look so much better than the reality.

When you said Krispy Kreme, the first thought I had was how sick I feel after two donuts, the nasty greasy coating on my teeth, the slight nausea, etc. Yes, their raised donuts are good when warm, but the cake kind are too sweet and kind of sickening IMHO, lol. Not to mention the feelings of shame afterwards.

Stay strong!

I'm lucky, Krispy Kreme donuts mean nothing to me. Now put a white wedding cake with white icing in front of me and it'll be a little harder to pass up! B)

Good for you. I haven't had my surgery yet, don't even have a date, but am trying to eat less in preparation. When I want something I know I really don't need I tell myself that you already know what it taste like, so you don't have to eat it. You have to do whatever works for you to stay on track, even if it means you have to take a different route. :)

I went a picked up donuts for my husbands work and didnt realize we still had a krispy cream not to far away. They hand you a donut when you walk in.I ate half and felt like I was gonna die in the car. The sugar hurt me bad. The 15 minute drive home seemed like an eternity to use the bathroom.

I gagged the other day driving past a Taco Bell. No fast food cravings here. I know exactly how terrible my body will feel after. Eat clean!

      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.
