3 months out and cheating



Recommended Posts

So I'm nervous. I'm 3 months out and have lost about 50 pounds, but last week was Mardi Gras, and I snacked a lot on things like chips, popcorn, and chocolate. I didn't overeat during any of my meals and I haven't eaten any bread of any kind. Did I hurt my sleeve or stretch it in any way by cheating this early??

No. Just get back on the wagon. As long as you didn't over eat, you should be okay.

You're fine. You need to learn moderation, not deprivation. I pigged out and ate a ton of halloween candy a few months ago. I went camping last month and ate smores and a bunch of other naughty no-no foods. Not only am I fine, but I proved that I can be a normal, functioning human being that occasionally indulges.

sigh, its not cheating, its just eating. you dont have to report it, or anything like that you just have to get back on track. Please dont listen to the moderation crap. unless you want to lose just some weight maybe, and take a long ass time doing it. Eating everything in moderation makes you moderately fat. period. when people tell you its okay to cheat , they will fail. do not listen. its not cheating its just eating. Every Time you eat badly, you just lose more time in your honeymoon period and the losing gets harder and harder as you go forward. dont fell bad just move forward. you can do this, and that is it.

So just move forward dont beat yourself up. but dont plan to fail either.

You can do this.

OK, so you are a FUB (Fallible hUman Being). You are not stretching your sleeve, you just delayed progress. Kick yourself once, and get back on program. ;-)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
