Hi Twiggy!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I realize I have entered into the "bandster hell' time period. We don;t have restriction yet and realize we can eat, not suffer from it with PB's or getting stuck.

My willpower was getting me through until now but most of my willpower walked out the door last night.

I have still eaten reasonably well today. Some leftovers from yesterday. One meatball, three pieces of ziti and one bowl of Soup with a few small noodles and veggies in it.

You're right tho' BEFORE the band and with this much leftover food in the house for the holidays, I would have gone out of control. We gave a lot of the leftovers to my son before he left to go home.

I just wasn;t thinking of food every minute before and now I feel so hungry I can't think of anything else. :faint:

I plan to wait until about 3:30 or 4 ( or honestly as long as I can) and have an Atkins Protein shake. First I will have a Special K Protein Water.

I also cannot wait until my next fill! I need help! :help:

Have a nice holiday!

I used to work with a very skinny woman who had the ability to eat one "rectangle" of a Hershey bar and put away the rest of it. I would regard her with total and utter amazement. I was not born with that ability, unfortunately! LOL!

You know what??? I can do that now! Didn't used to be able to do it but I can now. With sugar I can, with other carbs it's a no-go! HA!

Insubordination:

My mother (who was eating a whole brownie at the time) and I looked at each other and thought, "Aaaaah, that's why we're fat and they're not." I'm sure they enjoyed their shared brownie much more than anyone ever did with a tray of them in one sitting.

Yeah, it takes getting used to in order to get a taste of something vs. eating 4 of them. ;) I was laughing to myself yesterday at the grocery store. I saw one of those decorated 12" Cookies the size of an entire cake. I was thinking that a year ago, that was A cookie. ONE cookie. Heh...

:omg:one slice of cheesecake can set be back a extra 40 min of working out I will stick to 1 slice of yellow cake .

HA! Sorry, this made me laugh! I think exactly the same way you do. I relate all too well!

This kind of thinking keeps me from eating those 12" frosted Cookies the size of a cake!

I had it tonight. I had a small piece of lemony pound cake moistened with milk and it was tremendously good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was worth the wait. I won't do it too often but I can assure you I will enjoy it when I do have it.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
