I don't have any questions, just need to be honest and be held accountable. What better way to do that than to share with you guys and gals.

Let a rough day get to me that ended up in me buying a slice of chocolate cake. Being six weeks post op, thankfully my sleeve stopped me after just a few bites, but I am so disappointed in myself.

I just can't believe I let myself get to that point and I really hope it doesn't continue.

We all make mistakes. Being honest with yourself (and us) is a great step.

We all have to learn and practice new habits, attitudes, and skills.

I bet the cake didn't taste nearly as good as you thought it would. I just hope it doesn't make you sick. (Just the thought of all that sugar makes me a little ill.)

Next time, try reaching out to us before you take the first bite.

I am proud of you for stopping - for reaching out and for reminding yourself what you want. Those are all good signs!

I gotta agree with the ladies before me...

Ok, so you had some cake...

We all screw up...

Our brains are pretty smart at tricking us...

But you've acknowledged it and made yourself accountable for it...

The next step is to not beat yourself up about it...

And, as @@Inner Surfer Girl says...

Come in here any time you feel like you're gonna cave...

There's always someone to kick your arse if you need it...

@@Inner Surfer Girl it wasn't. After the 3rd bite, I fell hard back into reality.

I hate to waste food, but I didn't think twice about tossing it in the trash.

And thanks @@Christinamo7 and @@KindaFamiliar I'm very upset with myself but I'm glad to know I have the support on here, instead of the judgement that I would receive in the outside world.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
