You just answered your own question. Stop eating the junk food. High calorie crap is all it is.

Almost 7 months out, and I have nothing in my house to tempt me, no bread, Pasta, sweets. I will not go to a fast food place. If it isn't around me I can cope. Make sure you don't bring stuff into your house. Eat before you leave home, and eat well before you go grocery shopping. Good luck. Honestly we all know we can easily go back to eating bad food, but we have been through too much to get healthy. I love the new me way better than a taco!!!!!

You can eat junk food if you want to or you could say "No, its not healthy, that's why I am taking this journey. It's for life and I don't want to screw it up". Think about what you can do to fill the void so you don't eat - walk? knit? read? take a bath? sew? Whatever works for you. Just say to yourself "Are the consequences of me eating this really worth it?" If the answer is Yes, then eat it. If the answer is No, then don't eat it.

Check out the veterans forum - geared for people at least a year out. Lots of us working through maintenance issues... including for some people a bit of regain.

Thanks you guys ... It's the junk that's worrying me !!! I eat more junk then actual food

I hit the like button on your post by mistake. I hope you make a decision for your health sake to get off that junk train. You know you are sacrificing your health, and you don't need us to tell you that. I hope you love yourself enough to go back on the food plan, eating wonderful healthy food that tastes good. It makes me very sad for you and I wish I could sit down with you and say, how can I help you? Em, I am almost 68, and I want you to have a healthier life than I have ended up with, with no HBP, no diabetes, no asthma, no joint replacement, no heart problems. Good luck. I wish you a change of heart and a better life. Linda

I think high quality nutrition is even more important post op. You can get serious deficiencies! I encourage you to focus on good health more than just the scale. Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
