BG,

Get ass off the brain.

I'm really surprised at how much I want to eat the carbs. Bastards. You'd think I was a fast food junky the way I'm craving them.

I am being good though. I have to go to the grocery tonight, to get food in the house to feed the child....

She asked to bake brownies this weekend. We will and she'll get to keep two, the rest will have to go to the neighbors, because it's too hard to have them in the house even if I keep them frozen deep in the freezer...

JC,

Listen. You are awesome. You KNOW you are awesome. You have accomplished more than most people can accomplish in a LIFETIME in a year. It is NOT your fault your band went haywire. It did and now you are starting again in a new place. That is what I keep telling myself. I am not finding the time and not really even wanting to find the time to exercise all that much. I feel like I am being sucked of the enthusiasm that I once had to do this whole band thing. I laid off myself finally and then lost 1.5 pounds. HOW? I have no idea....I hear ya on the band fickleness though. One day everything is just fine, the next there is not way anything is going down. Did I tell you all that I have one of those big exercise balls that you can do sit ups on and such? It works wonders for stuck food too. Rolling around on top of it somehow helps push stuck food through. Mine costs like 14 dollars and they are like a big hippety hop for adults. HMMMMM WONDER WHAT ELSE I COULD USE IT FOR????

The beauty of the band is we can stop for a minute or a week or a month and not fall too far. It will be there when our focus gets back.

You're silly. It's like me, I laugh each time I say Tang. And I'm liking the sugar free Tang again. ugh

Tang as in pootie?

DO you like pumpkin pie and cheesecake? I found this low carb recipe for this pumpkin fluff thing and it tastes like pumpkin pie flavored cheesecake.

Pootie-tang is what makes me giggle.

Fluff does too, only because when I was in England, where "getting some fluff" is the same as "scoring some action" and older lady who's B&B we stayed at told us how she asks all her friends traveling to the states to bring her back a jar of "fluff" and she just laughed and laughed.

Hell yeah, gimme the fluff recipes you got, baby.

1 can of pumpkin (15-16 oz)

1 brick of cream cheese (8oz)

2 oz heavy whipping cream

1/2 tsp lemon juice

pumpkin pie spice to taste (I don't have this so I just used splenda, allspice, and cinnamon)

beat the cream cheese and whipped cream together until smooth, beat in pumpkin and lemon juice, mix in spices to taste. Tastes best cold.

I love the stuff but the more you eat the less good it tastes. Have a little bowl and you should be fine. Yummmmo

Oh and stool softener is your friend. I crapped out a softball about 30 minutes ago.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
