Oh I've made a mistake.

I've been having some intense cravings today and trying to work with myself. It took an insane amount of will power not to pop into Ben and Jerry's for a free ice cream cone today. 

The cravings have been going back and forth between sweet and crunchy. So,  I stopped at the store and bought a mini bag of pork rinds. 70 calories,  7 grams of protein,  and 4 grams of fat. 

Well let me friggin tell you,  I feel like I've been round house kicked in my mother effin chest. It came on suddenly,  I almost cried. 

That's what I get for letting my cravings persuade me into thinking pork rinds were a suitable snack! !

Lesson learned!  Dust yourself off and get right back on plan!

They are not a great choice but they are so much better than B&J. I am sorry they didn't work out.  You are fighting a good fight.  Some days are harder.  I hope tomorrow is easier again.  

I feel you!  I had a craving for Rita's Ice and um so glad they has sugar free Italian ice.  I'm now satisfied! 

Is that the kind they sell in the store or from a cart? 

At the Rita's store

Best thing to do is shake your head, laugh at yourself, and move on. 

Isn't it funny how forbidden treats often sit like a lump of lead in our sleeve? It's like the sleeve is saying"What the Heck?  You can't dump this kind of junk in me anymore!"

Oh yes!  My sleeve was like,  "B*tch please!". Back to my regular protein lol.

I had a piece of pasta and about freaking died...I feel your pain...literally!!!  

I have rec'd the VSG on 3/13/14 by Dr. Tom Umbach in Las Vegas, NV.  Do you go to any local support groups?  What brand of whey are you using that you recommend?  I'm having a hard time finding one post operative that I can tolerate.
