Valentines Day and Sweets



Recommended Posts

Knowing myself I'll probably have a chocolate or two, feel sick, and give the rest to my roommates/boyfriend lol. I told the boyfriend I can't really handle sweets so hopefully he knows better than to get me anything like that, it's work that I'm worried about. I'm gonna try regifting anything I get, I think if I pick someone to give it to as soon as I get it I'll be less likely to give in and eat it.

I've made myself a plan to avoid temptation. I have a list of several activities, most including texting or calling a friend that is supportive to avoid doing something I know I shouldn't do.

Just think of your future Valentines days and forgo the sweets this year. :)

I'm a teacher and received 8 boxes of chocolate, 1 mug of chocolate, and 1 candy bar from my students. I plan to regift it so I don't eat it. I'm not a big chocolate fan so that helps with temptations. I politely tossed 3 cupcakes, a few Cookies, and dessert bar after school. #thoughtfulstudentsbariatricteacher

I'm 4 years post-op so I do allow myself treats, but have to monitor myself carefully. My hubby is very supportive of my nutritional needs so no chocolate for me.

naturegirl, I do recall that avalanche of chocolate from years as a special care assistant. I used to eat it all!!! Can't image that now.

I failed. Over the day I ate 2 cupcakes and 3 chocolate covered strawberries.
I wish I was a dumper.
I'm so disappointed in myself.


What stage are you at?

I'm 4 months out. I haven't had any issues sticking to my meal plan at all. Ugh. I failed so hard.



It's in the past now. Justice forward
And get right on track.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
