Sick and eating is off



Recommended Posts

Hi all
Have the flu (ugh)... and so sick to my stomach. Had husband go buy some bread or crackers to settle my stomach.

Had bypass 9 1/2 months ago and have been pretty good with foods etc. I’m beyond my goals and honestly need to stop losing weight.

All that said.... in the past two days I’ve eaten a TON of oyster crackers (whole box) and about 5 pieces of bread . I hadn’t had any bread type items in over 9 months so I feel like I’m failing.... even though it was just to settle stomach. I easily ate the bread and crackers with no restriction etc as far as I could tell but maybe ate too fast anyhow.

Ugh. Am I on proverbial slippery slope ?!
Kinda freaking out after the fact

Crackers are totally a slider for me. ((hugs))

Hi there

I wouldn’t beat yourself up over it - the fact you are posting shows you haven’t lost your way. As you get well, just stay on top of the Bentley course correction back to proper food!

Your stats are great - feeling proud? Gorgeous?

Oops - that was meant to say ‘gentle course correction’ not Bentley! Too late to edit it now...

Me too. It is a whole different headspace, and all the BariatricPal posting and reading really didn’t prepare me for some of it:

* giving away the daily weight drop

* planning to add a snack a day to get calories up a bit

* how to deal with the endless line of people giving you advice about not losing any more weight.

But those niggles are drowned out by the great clothes, the thrift store purchases, the sales items I can now buy that were never available in size 18, the jogging, the room in an airplane seat, not going through and deleting every photo of me, etc etc etc...

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
