I'm still preop... but can say, for me, the only thing I can do when I mess up, is forgive myself, learn from it, and move on...

Personally, I don't worry about fried food. I'd be more concerned with the bread and the fries. Protein first, my friend. Always and at every meal. At least 3 bites of protein for every 1 bite of complex carbs (fruits and veggies). When you say pieces of fish, do you mean bites or 2 whole pieces and then 8 scallops? If you are able to eat 2 whole pieces of fish, which surgery did you have? I'm 3 years out of RNY and couldn't eat 2 pieces of fish to save my life.

Beating yourself up does no good. Decide if your choices are things you should repeat or not and then act accordingly. Guilt is a wasted emotion.

I had GB...the pieces of fish were the size of a cell phone, not a huge filet. and the scallops are the real tiny ones. It's weird, some days i feel i can eat and eat and eat....which freaks me out cause i feel i stretched my pouch out, then there are some days I fill up fast. another thing too, i can take decent gulps of water with no issues....no sips here.

I'm worried about the croissant! White flour and butter? Not a very good choice.

Try to stay away from wheat, rice, potatoes, sugar.

Bananas aren't a great choice either. They have the most sugar of any fruit. Berries have much less sugar and much more fiber.

Maybe go back to just protein, veggies, and low fat dairy.

I agree with JJ guilt is a wasted emotion... Irregardless of surgery we are still human beings and... we were food addicts before the surgery... so now time to regroup and get back on the plan... I've certainly slipped stumbled and fallen... Its convincing me more and more that indeed as has been said so many times by others in the group... the surgery is a tool... My stomach is restructured and food digests differently... so its a little harder to over eat... that is actually good... when I work my plan... watch my food choices and don't push my stomach I can do it a little easier because my stomach is smaller... and its pretty uncomfortable to push it... but I can... I know the freaking hungries very well... but now... you have confessed... say 3 hail mamas and go and sin no more... but if you do... I'm giving you get back on the plan free card... Seriously... hang tough and start again... Hugs Elissa

On day a time.....didn't do too good, will be better tomorrow. Try not to allow yourself to fall into guilt, it consumes you. These are the bumps in the road we all face. Have a wonderful day.....Blessings

Guilt is the most wasted of emotions.....get back up and brush yourself off, and get back on the horse(plan)! You can do it! d

So you're human! Welcome to the club.

I eat fried stuff occasionally. My focus is on the macro nutrients--protein, carbs, fats. I try to hit my levels on a weekly average--so there's some fluctuation on the day-to-day.

I also have a calorie target of 1200 - 1500. Go for that average for the week as well.

I log everything in my smart phone app (loseit). This works for me.
