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.

      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.
