OMG! what was I thinking? I am totally beating myself up right now! The hubs asked for eggs, bacon and pancakes for Breakfast. So, I made it for him. I had a yogurt about 3 hours before, and was a little hungry. He left a pancake.....a small one......and I ate it. I planned to just "taste" it. But...I ATE IT!! I have not had any simple carbs in about 6 weeks (maybe more). I don't plan to make this a habit, but I have to admit, it went down way too easy, and now I know it's not a good thing for me. Maybe this will break my stall.

Pssstttt....stop beating yourself up. You are human. No one told you to eat zero carbs for the rest of your life. I thought the same thing at first, then I hit a stall. One day I "fell off the wagon" and kept eating all day mostly Protein and some carbs. When I got on the scale the next morning, my weight dropped two pounds. Then I remembered that we can be guilty of not eating enough and not eating small amounts about six times a day (every 2-3 hours). So each day after that, I made sure that I got in all my Proteins, all my fluids, a few carbs, and ate six times a day. The scale started moving again.

Based on your ticker, YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!! Don't let head games stress you out. You are on your way!

You bad, bad girl, lol. There's nothing wrong with enjoying something like that every once in awhile. Think about it...before you would have eaten several pancakes and the bacon and the eggs right? Now, not only did you stop at a small pancake but you recognized it wasn't good for you and you don't have a great need to eat anymore of it. About 2 weeks ago I had a cake pop from Starbucks for the first time in a few months, and I enjoyed it. Unlike before though, I only had one and I've had no real interest in having another one. The sleeve lets us eat in moderation and isn't designed so that we totally stop enjoying things that may not be good for us. A few bites of pancake, a piece of cake, a few adult beverages, some taco dip...all are things you should still enjoy every once in awhile. Life is for living, not for eating spinach and chicken at every meal. :)

I eat a pancake every weekend. With REAL butter, REAL maple Syrup and a sausage patty or bacon. No regrets and no guilt.

        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
