Today is the most tempting day of the year

I'm just over a week out of surgery.

I work in an office building of about 1000 people administering health benefits.

It is literally the battle of food cultures everywhere in this building.

It's Cinco de mayo and also Asian Heritage day.

Everywhere you turn there's free tacos (good ones, I'm in central CA) ceviche, elotes, rice and Beans. There's a massive BBQ cooking asada.

Then there is every Asian food known to man.

Two weeks ago I could have done some serious damage to these endless buffets.

But I've got my beef broth to keep me company.

My surgery was two weeks before Christmas, a month before my birthday, and 6 weeks before Valentine's Day. I passed up all the treats and stuck to my plan. Darn it! Hahaha

Oh I know the feeling; next week is nurse's week and they like to give us hamburgers, hot dogs, and ice cream.

What I've found that helps is bringing my own take on the dish. This was a creative process during the pureed stage, but I digress. I already have 97% lean ground beef I plan on making into a lettuce burger and while I won't have ice cream, I do have a square of Sugar Free Chocolate I'm saving. It sounds weird, but it's honestly plenty now and I dont feel like I'm missing out.

a thought for YOu
Which is more important- that Junk food you have been craving for an hour?
Or that body you have been craving all your life?
The decision is YOURS!

      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.
