Week 27 Post-Op VSG ~ 59 pounds lost so far!

It's Friday and my weigh in this morning I was 222 lbs.  I lost one more pound and one more inch on my thighs, Yay!   I am happy with this. At least I did not gain any weight. : )   I still have mental issues around food.  I worry about eating, ANYTHING.  A lifetime of chronic dieting will do that to a person.  Writing down what I eat has helped me feel more conscious of what I am actually eating.  I just don't want to be stuck in a weight-loss stall again.  I also don't want to feel deprived and begin a freak out that way either. 

It's the holiday season and the GOOD sweets are EVERYWHERE!  My one and only true trigger food is chocolate.  In fact, if I had one day to live, and someone were to grant me my very last thing to eat before I died, I know EXACTLY what I would eat.   THIS....
I am far from being able to eat something like this without the horrible dumping syndrome happening. Sugar makes me feel very ill, I mean so ill that it ruins my day kind of ill.  I can eat berries and drink juice, but straight up sweets makes me feel so bad that I need to crawl into bed due to stomach cramps and nausea.  I still dream of my little french bistros. Maybe after I reach my goal, I will get to share one of these with someone special next year? 

I'm grateful for this tiny tummy tool to help me get to my next weight-loss goal of 219 lbs. hopefully by my birthday on Dec. 13th...  We will see!  Doing the carb cycling still is the easiest way to stay on track for me.  When I do get chocolate cravings, I reach for a low carb Weight Watchers Ice cream bar.

I'm losing slowly, I don't have any excess skin so far. I am getting smaller all over, you can really see it now.  I'm feeling great!
