I've been really struggling for the past week or so. Some of my old habits have started to creep back into my life. Food habits. This surgery does NOT fix everything. If I choose the wrong foods, I can continue to overeat. Up until recently I haven't done that. But I've been getting stressed out at work and I've found alot of junky stuff finding it's way down my gullet. Candy, chips, ice cream, peanut butter. Not good.
It's scary how these old habits are surfacing again. And the more junky stuff I eat, the more I crave it and feel munchy all the time.
I have come too far to backslide now so tomorrow I am getting back to sleeve basics by doing the "5 day pouch test." It's a 5 day plan that takes you back to the habits that got you started on your WLS journey. So it's two days of liquid protein, one day of soft proteins (eggs, tuna, etc), one day "firm" protein, and one day "solid" protein. I need a little reboot to get me back on track.
The 5 days will be up on Saturday and then Sunday I am on my way to Biggest Loser Resort so that will give me 7 more days in a controlled situation to get my head back on straight.
I'm finding out firsthand that this surgery is only a tool. It's not a magic bullet and it's certainly not foolproof. And that's the truth.

You are so smart to recognize this and nip it! I remembered that your BL resort was coming up. I can't wait to hear all about it!
Put forth the effort and ye shall reap the rewards. Just got done reading Ralph Marstons lesson for the day, (great day.com). Very poignant I think. Good luck on the 5day thing. Can't wait to hear about biggest loser camp
Hang in there, Deb. This is a just a test. You know you can get yourself back on track!
Yeah, there are roadblocks every step of the way. Just knock em down!
