Have you been picking in my fridge, Ezma? :biggrin:

Okay I have developed a coldstone addiction, and if they aren't open then I have discoverd the "Whirled Peace" from Ben and Jerry's is better than a shot of vodka for knocking out a bad day. OH and Cookies and cream taste really good for a combo chocolate craving/icecream craving.

I make a promise to only eat icecream once a week, and not the whole pint once a week, but a SERVING of icecream once a week.

Now stay away from the pickles, I am going to eat them, they don't have calories.

Funny!!!! I think. I have a serious Coldstone addiction. Founder's Favorite in the Gotta have it size to be exact. I gave it up:confused_smile:, well cut back when I was doing weight watchers, and was amazed at how many points it added up to be. So I'll have it about twice a month in the like it size. Plus it's an expensive addiction. I think drugs would probably be cheaper.:biggrin:

I was very bad today. My bf and I had a fight so all I could think about was ice cream. I had a blizzard earlier and just now I had a double scoop at Baskin and Robbins. I basically have had no good food today just junk.

I feel for you Denise. Why is it that I can't get myself to exercise or something when I'm stressed or depressed? Why does it have to be straight for the Desserts? Hope things are better now with bf. Maybe you could beat him instead of eating - it would get rid of the stress and burn some calories. Think he'd agree to it?

Wanted to pat myself on the back - and get some pats from you too! lol I haven't had any ice cream in 5 days (partly because I ran out of my favorite kind, and haven't given in to buying more, and partly because I've been working hard on staying away from it. It really helps that the only DQ in my town has closed for the winter. Thanks for listening to me gloat - this is a huge goal for me.

Congrats sk!!!! That's really great. I'm still having a hard time with it but hopefully today is the start of the end of the carb cravings.

Right now I would love to take a 2 by 4 and smack him with it.

I would have exercised but the fight we had was pretty late at night

and I hardly slept at all because I was so upset. I was too worn out

to go to the gym, which is just not like me.

How's everyone doing? I'm doing okay. I'm not sure if I get to count last night as being good or not. I started South Beach and you get a dessert on it. There's not a lot of choices so I ended up having a Breyers Carb Smart Fudge Bar. It wasn't ice cream and I never really liked popsicles or fudgesicles so it's not my addiction but it was ice cream like in substance.

Ezma - It was NOT ice cream; that's the main thing.

SK - Good for you! Consider yourself patted on the back.

Denise - Men! Nothing else needs to be said!!!

Theninside - twice a month is do-able. Keep at it!

SM - Almost into the 150's- yeah!! And cookie free too. You are doing great!!

Update from Clinic visit - 2 1/2 hour train ride to the city; 35 minute walk to the clinic. 20 minutes IN the clinic...then same thing in reverse. So basically, no slippage, no problems, the nurse added 0.25 cc but basically it is just my body is fighting losing the weight after decades of yo-yo dieting. Persistance is the key...or so the clinic says....

Hey yaw!

I stayed away from Wally World this weekend. But I did eat out a lot this passed weekend. I had a piece of fried fish on Friday. Some Barbeque on Saturday ( what can I say I'm from Kansas City) and I had a Quiznos flatbread salad. Boy do I need restriction.

Great - now I'm humming "Kansas City"...

Pan fried or deep fried? I MUCH prefer pan fried - less fat too.

But yes, it does seem that you may need some restriction...

Hey Tapshoes,

I don't know exactly how they fried it all I know is the fish was light and yummy. It was orange roughy. I know I was born and raise in barbeque city. I love Gates barbeque. But yes I need restriction like yesterday. I hope you're doing fine.

I'm sorry tapshoes. I didn't think they would be cultural....well I guess they are. Since I first had them at a sushi restuarant.

I love sushi.

I am having roast beef for lunch. I'm excited since I had a handful of chips for Breakfast. I was hungry and they were free. Hopefully they don't ruin my day.

I am hungry can you tell. S t a r v i n g.

Tomorrow is weigh day...but I'm thinking of skipping it since I have some major PMS.

        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
