Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 6 mm's! I can eat cookies, cake, soda, you name I can eat it. The only thing that I've found that I can not eat is icecream. I am scared to death. I was 318pounds pre surgery. Today I wiegh 159. My goal was 150 pounds. I am now more than 18months post op, and weight loss has all but stopped. In the last two weeks I have put on 4 pounds. I am depressed and angry with myself. With all this happening I have remembered one thing. The surgery was not a quick fix. I have to work had to lose and maintain. I have spent a week kicking myself, punishing myself and doing something I haven't done in over a year, hated myself. Now I have to get back to work. I have to relay on self control, excercise and my desire to healthy. Good luck to both of us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Those M & M's just rolled on into your mouth all by themselves by accident? You and I made a choice to have this surgery so we would have a tool to help us get rid of our excess weight? Is that still your goal? Or have you changed your mind? I know I want to be healthy and get rid of these extra pounds to boot! M & M's will not be touching my lips! Find an alternative, part of a protein bar, part of a Carbolite bar if necessary! Boosting my protein intake really helps make me feel more satisfied and removes any desire for carbs, especially sugar. Give it a try! Like Vitalady says, Sugar and Milk . . . straight to the hips!

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 No, no - no hating yourself.... Didn't you learn when you were MO that that is a no-no!!! You are a terrific person, a beautiful person. You have talents and gifts.... You've had a little setback here. It's not the end of the world. Perfection is impossible.... But progress is important. Make that your motto: Progress - not perfection. Strive to improve. A wise woman on one of the lists once said something VERY important. START RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE AND GO FORWARD! Forget yesterday... it's gone, goodbye. Start right where you are, and walk forward... from here... now... we're all here for you! Sharon in D.C. Re: m&m's 6 mm's!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Uh oh, need I post the Peeps incident? That's all I did. Just a few g of sugar. Every few hours. Until my clothes didn't fit. Pretty scary. No, VERY scary. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 OK munkeelover - you didn't leave your real name, so don't know what else to call you. It seems to happen to most of us. We cheat a little and it turns into cheating a lot. For me, my downfall is cookies. My advice is to get the M & M's out of the house/work, and do NOT buy anymore. Get yourself some sugar free chocolates to get past the worst of the cravings. I like the Stover brand the best. So, I'm not yelling at you, just encouraging. My DH brought home some free cookies from work, and darn it, I just can't leave them alone. He's not allowed to do that anymore. Take care. Jeanne in WI Age 39 - Dr. T.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 i bought a big bunney peeps the other day. and I ATE it! and I got SICK! and it was worth it for that one time! but never ever again!!! However, I am really fighting the carbs. popcorn, toast, graham crackers, not many in actuality, but too many for me! My weight loss has slowed and I need to lose 50 more pounds. And I understand the hating oneself. I keep trying to figure out WHY I am sabotaging myself. Is the taste worth being fat? no, but it doesn't stop me. *sigh* and I hate my saggy sharpei body!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Dear Munkee, If you think the six M&Ms you ate will lead you to grazing/snacking/binging on food that is not good for you, then by all means, throw them away or stay away from them. I know a lot of people on the list stay away from sugar completely. I eat a very little bit/amount of sugar, OCCASIONALLY. I take a bite of this or a couple of bites of that and that cures my sweet cravings. The very few times I've tried to eat more than that, I've gotten sick. I don't think six tiny M&Ms would make anyone dump. A handful, yes. If you don't think you can eat sugar in very small amounts, occasionally, than your very best bet would be to stay away from it entirely. Take good care and God bless your WLS journey.
