Boy do I feel guilty. I've been so good for 4 months and stayed on program... until today! I offered to make Halloween cut out Cookies with my 3.5 year old granddaughter. We had a great time, but I ended up eating 3 large ones, which snowballed into left over pizza. ugh....

I have learned my lesson, NO cookies or pizza in the house at all and I will get back on track tomorrow, but I wonder how I could lose control so easily.

Just a wild guess on how you could do such a horrible, horrible thing...

You're human. And I'd bet you make killer Cookies. And you got caught up in the moment.

And you are getting right back on the horse. THIS is the lesson.

We should all screw up once in 4 months.

You will be OK,

Tek

That hits the nail on the head. You realize you made a mistake and you're taking care of it. You're a human. It's okay to screw up once in a while, even more so since you've acknowledged it and are willing to keep trying.

Physically, how did you feel after eating the Cookies and pizza? I would have felt sick. I still can't handle too many sweet today. I get a queasy feeling.

Hi,

I'm pre-op so no advice here lol. Just a question. Did you have trouble afterwards? Dumping?

You are going to have days like this, but you recognized it. I quit smoking 10 years ago, I've a a few since then but it always reminds me why I quit. I am also curious to know how you felt afterwards. I do plan to make a slice of pizza or a cookie a planned part of my diet. I hope I can eat them.

I think thats just part of having grandchildren. Great memories, and fun for them. Now get back in there, and wait for Christmas to slip up again.

It was spread out during the day so not all at once. I felt full. It was the first time I'd had sweets, no problem.

I agree with the 'first time in 4 months' person that said - :ha, we should all be so good to only slip up or go off the plan 1x every 4 months!" Enjoy your grandkiddos and Celebrate how much good you have done for yourself and what you learned through this one.
Best wishes to you!!

      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.
