I really want to cheat!



Recommended Posts

My surgery is in two days (the 18th), and I am so hungry I can't even stand myself!!! I keep thinking I could just have a small bite of something!! I'm craving a biscuit really bad, and normally I am not even a bread eater! I just want to eat something and all day I have been questioning this whole thing!!

The same thing happened to me sweety -- I craved a burger sooooo bad. So i thought... "life's too short" and with this surgery I'm going to make a committment to make this a lifetime change sooooo, I ate a 1/2 burger lol! Nothing ever tasted soooooo good in my life. It was 2 days before surgery and thinking back, I'm glad I did it, it didn't cause any damage and I treated myself and then was focused from then on.... 7 months later, I am 71 lbs smaller and feeling AMAZING and happy! Good luck!

Well, you sure picked the wrong time to think you can eat a biscuit. You could've tried that 10 days ago with little damage, but it ain't smart to try it two days before the doctor starts to cut on you.

You can do this. You just have to DO this.

How long was your pre op diet? Surprised that you are still having carb craving, or are you just focusing on food?

Have sex. Workout. Online shop. Call up an ex and tell him how much of an @ss he really was. Make a vision board of where you want to be. Pay bills. Go volunteer at a homeless shelter. Have sex (yes, twice). Turn off the TV. Drink 2 glasses of Water. You get the point.....

A biscuit won't kill you and it will squash the craving, but then you are left with worry about your surgery day and it's just not worth it.

Have sex. So wish I had thought of that when i wad detoxifying from caffeine and sugar. So, to me the problem with having the biscuit. ..... what if you don't stop at just one? What if it leads to more biscuits or "other stuff"? Just be careful. Try and keep your eye on your prize. Best.

Yep, sex. It's a great distraction, stress reliever, calorie burner, and when pre-op nerves are at their prime, it's a nice way to connect with your partner and refocus on the bigger picture; getting healthy, dropping massive weight, losing all of those prescription meds, and having better sex. =)

      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.
