I feel like a bad girl!

I'm beating myself up cuz I think I've been eating too much lately. Even though I know it's not as much as I would eat if I didn't have the surgery I still think it's much. Like on Sat. I had 1 rib. Not a rack (like I could have eaten before) but 1 rib but I felt so guilty cuz I had a deviled egg and some baked beans too. And I been feeling a need to snack (a self-inflicted need) I just feel defeated and I know I need to forgive myself and get over it. I go to the doc tomorrow for a weigh-in and I believe the scale is not gonna move lower but I did it. Maybe I just need U guys to "put me in my place" I know I'm probably being silly but it's bothering me, plus I'm PMSing

Don't beat yourself up - that won't help anything. A doc told me that it is really impossible to sabotage your weight loss during the first year - no matter what you do. But you should, of course, follow your doc's plan, otherwise, you won't have the long term results. So take heart, there is no way you have hurt your weight loss at this point - just keep trying your best to do good. When you do bad, forgive, forget, and move on. As long as the good behavior outweighs the bad, you'll be fine. Shelaine 309/256

Sadia, pick your chin up and toward you goal. One rib and a deviled egg are not bad choices, they are high protein. As for the baked beans, they shouldn't be your first food choice, but if you ate them in moderation you are doing fine. Just remember to eat protein first. You should be following your surgeon's instructions as much as possible, but, hey we are all humans, we make mistakes. Forgive yourself and get back on the band wagon. Remind yourself why you had WLS frequently and then focus on where you want to be a week from now, a month from now and 6 months from now. I do believe that is the key for each of us. Stay focused, stay positive and don't beat yourself up. Dana Lap RNY 2-21-05 260/238.8/192.4/130????

Thanks guys for the love I went today to the doctor and I actually lost 3 pounds now I'm 231 down 67 (53 post op). I did get yelled at because I was honest with my surgeon. He basically said the same things you guys are saying. He gave me his version of motivation and reminded me that I could have died on that operating table but I got a second chance at life and I should respect it and the decision that was made in having the surgery. So I know what I gotta do. Again guys thanks! Saida

sounds like your doctor did you a favor. telling you the truth. but we all do fall from time to time. the great thing is, we can always pick up and try again. and i know all about pms. it's brutal. i've got my 3 month checkup coming up, too. not sure if i'm looking forward to it or not. i haven't been getting in my exercise and i expect i'll hear about that, too. take care, saida. you're only human, you know. it's more about self-love than about what you did wrong. dorthe
