Holiday compromises



Recommended Posts

On holiday with the family for the first time since my sleeve in Jan. 12 weeks today.

Holidays were always a cue for indulgence. Never did the ‘diet hard so I can splurge’ thing, but did think ‘two weeks of treats won’t hurt’.

Not indulged, but have compromised. Had a couple of crisps during a marathon game of monopoly. Had a couple of sweet potato fries with a fillet steak (totally gorgeous one with brie and crispy pancetta on top in a puddle of red wine sauce...yeah I know! Got loads to bring home that I’m having tomorrow with salad), and tasted eldest’s desert (she was right, it was exactly like after eight mints), but didn’t have one of my own.

All that may sound to some like slacking, but I’ve stayed under 850kcal and hit Protein and Fluid targets with loads of extra exercise I’m really enjoying. Just guess I wanted to say it hasn’t been a slippery slope and feeling really good.

If it’s less loss I’ll live with it cos I’ll be back in my own kitchen in 6 days with my own supermarket shop, but willing to bet it won’t be with how busy we’re being :-)

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
