Summer Rain 245 Posted August 13, 2014 Most everyone has a bad day here and there. Just acknowledge it and move on! One mistake doesn't make you a failure. You've got this Summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

finediva 979 Posted August 13, 2014 How were you able to eat two slices of pizzas? Were they tiny slices? I'm only 3.5 weeks out, and I have difficulty drinking 3 ounces of Soup.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm already 31/2 months out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You will have to stay focused, and be forever vigilant. For me the very thought that I laid on an operating table, allowed myself to be put to sleep, and asked a doctor to remove a large portion of a perfectly healthy organ still amazes me. I realize today that I'm grieving the lost of my stomach, but it's forever gone. I plan to honor my surgery by making a lifetime commitment to the process. 3 jessiquoi, Jewells70 and sleeveme4152 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

finediva 979 Posted August 13, 2014 Yes! But we are human, some days I feel like I can take on the world and other days I struggle all day long! But the good days are starting out way the bad:) Glad to hear the good days are winning the fight. And yes we are human and will continue t o have roller coaster days and sometimes weeks. As women we have a lot to deal with. Stay encouraged and claim your success. 1 Jewells70 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mi75 1,236 Posted August 13, 2014 i am 7 wks out and i chose this option (sleeve) so that i wouldn't have to FOREVER be on a 'diet' and feel guilty over eating something like a slice of pizza... i too have had a thin crust slice. no guilt, scale continues to move downward nicely! i guess i wouldn't consider the fact that you ate a very limited portion of a 'treat' food a bad day. pizza USED to be a twice-a-week occasion for me, now it will likely be about once a month or so. no issues. that said, if you are following your program then you have nothing to feel bad about! my program includes ALL foods, including breads, rice, Pasta, yes-pizza, and even Desserts in LIMITED wise quantities (1 slice). i have NO problems overeating and feel VERY full well before i'm done eating ANY meal!

Memily 86 Posted August 14, 2014 Don't beat yourself up, we all have those days. I have pizza about once a month...the amount I eat depends on the day and what my body can handle. I try REALLY hard not to drink after I eat but it is very hard for me as I have always been someone with a Water bottle in hand. You are human just don't slip into bad habits daily and you will succeed. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GettingBackToNormal 20 Posted August 14, 2014 My nut said we could have the toppings off pizza, just skip the crust. So, not a cheat for me. Your doing good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JanetPRN 496 Posted August 15, 2014 The great thing with the sleeve (for me , at least) is I can have my favorite foods on occasion. I follow my plan closely , but allow room for the occasional treat. Nothing is forbidden in my diet. I am 11 months p/op and still have excellent restriction. I am under my docs goal and my personal goal. pizza is delicious and I join in when my family has it, albeit may only a small slice and some of the toppings. I don't feel deprived or feel like a failure. Failure would be making bad choices, all day , every day. Enjoy your sleeved life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
