 Your only human.  It is hard to get your mind used to eating differently.  Tomorrow is a new day.  Don't be discouraged!

I think everyone messes up on just about any diet at some point or another. If not, why would any of us need wls?

The important thing is that you don't let it turn into an entire night of slips, or a week of slips... you get the idea. Get back on the horse and keep going.

You can do this!

How tall are you? I had my surgery 5 weeks ago. I'm 5'9. I just noticed our pre weight was close. I lost 15 before surgery and 21 since the surgery. I'm 36-37 pounds less. My goal is 150-165. I started at 243.9.

I'm only 5'2.  My goal is officially 120, but I only said that because that's the mid range for a healthy BMI for my height.  I may raise it closer to 130, depending on how I'm doing and what my doctor recommends.

Congrats on your loss so far!  My surgery is 3 weeks away TODAY, and that scares me lol.

 Don't be scared I would do it again.  The first day sucks but then everyday gets better.  About day 15 I felt great.  I dealt with your mind food issues and being sad you can't have dinner with anyone because your scared you will eat something.  I don't think about food.  If I want to taste it I do I have one or two bites and move on.   I eat protein most of the time.  The liquid diet seems like forever but it is over before you know it.   It also helps with self control.  Keep me posted about your surgery.

So, here's the thing.  Here's what they don't tell you.  I actually GAINED 5 lbs during my supervised diet.  I was so worried that my insurance company was going to reject me.  My nurse told me not to worry.  She said that if I could have lost the weight without surgery that I would have already done it and not needed the surgery.  She was right. The insurance company approved me within days and with no questions asked.  So, don't get hung up on one visit to taco bell.  Just do the best you can.  The smaller you are the easier the surgery will be, but it will not have much to do with your getting approved by the insurance.

The only words of wisdom I have.......is that if you are going to eat "off plan".....please please eat something better than Taco Bell.
