Made an over-hungry bad decision



Recommended Posts

One week post op- went to a client site today where I sipped Isopure all day. Client brought in lunch- I sipped my Isopure. Meeting ended 2 hours late, got stuck in traffic, went way too long without my broth, got home, was warming up my broth and my son had a leftover cookie on the counter and I took a fairly big bite, chewed it up and swallowed it, then thought, "Oh crap, I'm an idiot." Please tell me I'm not the only one that does something this stupid? I don't think I'll make this mistake again- my tummy is not happy.

I can't imagine you are the only one to slip. At least now you are aware that you are at risk to mindlessly eat something and will be better prepared next time. This whole thing is a learning process.

That's what I'm hoping for- that I'm not the only one. Maybe I had a bigger problem with mindless eating than I ever thought? Guess that is why they call it mindless.

Seriously 1 bite won't kill you. I'm 1 month post Op and had 100's of cravings and I'm not going to lie I did take a bite here and there, sometimes maybe you have to take a bite to realize you don't want it. I mean really, you didn't sit down and eat the whole thing. You'll be fine.

Oh my gosh I did the same thing today took a bite of some fish because I miss chewing thinking I was going to spit it out and it was so good and soft I swallowed it and felt so bad

Slip ups are hard. I know I specially have problems when cooking for my family, when I'm cooking it's hard not to taste it, not so much cuz I wanna eat it but I do wanna know how it tastes before I give it to my kiddos.

Cravings...1 week out post-op and I feel like I'm starving? Any one else?

I have a lot of cravings- I'm not starving necessarily, but when I smell dinner, I just want so much to have a bite. I'm doing good, but there's an emotional aspect to it I wasn't expecting.

I remember wanting to eat something that smelled good, but physical urge to eat at that point was excess stomach acid. Being careful about taking my acid inhibitor helped that a lot.

        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
