Totally off the rails today, hit the pantry hard and kept going: Wheat Thins, slices of a chocolate orange, chocolate chip Cookies, milk milk and more milk, a Starbucks mocha latte, the remains of a solid chocolate Santa (approximately shins on down), a bunch of Swiss cheese, I think I had a maple cookie in there as well... I'm sure there's other stuff I forgot. NO REGRETS!

However I am now going out to buy some spinach.

About 3/4 of the way into my pre-op diet, I had a moment of weakness when a bunch of chocolate was brought into our apt. after the holidays. Either way, I saw it in the fridge, ended up eating one piece.. Then another. Finally had about 5 small pieces in total. Then I thought, 'Well, I've done that much, might as well have a little extra Protein as well,' so I did just that for my nightly meal.

I also cheated like 3 other times by eating a bit more protein than asked for, mostly because I was absolutely starving and miserable. It was never much those handful of times, but it was still over my max daily allowance. Also I may have accidentally ate the wrong type of protein as well once or twice, since my instructions are a bit vague on what is allowed. (It's also quite difficult to get in touch with any nurses here to ask questions, and speaking to the surgeon is just.. not possible, lol.)

I REPLACED anorexia with obesity and have likely put obesity in remission with this sleeve but it will always, ALWAYS be a daily struggle to maintain health.
Meanwhile, none of that gives me permission to make fun of anyone on either side of the fence, especially since l know the heartache of both places.
I say this with all kindness, making jokes about the vulnerabilities of others isn’t a privilege you’ve somehow earned. It’s a weakness, a lack of empathy.

On this past Tuesday, spent the day with my BFF and we went to lunch at Chuy"s (Mexican restaurant) and like the dedicated girl I am I drank Water and ordered chicken fajitas. I never eat tortillas since I have intolerance of gluten. Box up my leftovers and when our waitress brought the check she also delivered 2 very small pieces of tres leches cake which is THE BOMB if you have never had it.

We did not order it but she said "everyone gets free cake today because it is Elvis' birthday (Austin is weird like that...okay) So, I had a small bite and ate the strawberry on top and a bit more of the sauce. First cake I have eaten in over 8 months. She then came back and I channeled my inner @FluffyChix and asked her to take the rest away and pour dish soap on it so I would not be tempted to go in the kitchen and dig it out of the trash.🤪

Dang! Why didn't you say it was Chuy's? The one on Barton Springs? My office used to be behind it. We'd walk over for happy hour after work. LOL! Congrats on limiting to 1 bite!!

It was the one on the North side near Lakeline Mall....after eating we hit up DSW and Nordstrom's rack so worked off those calories. And of course, I found a gorgeous swimsuit coverup and a long beachy skirt for the cruise. Passed up all the sky high heel hooker shoes we tried on🙄😜

      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.
