Ate way too much yesterday!!!



Recommended Posts

I ate so much yesterday and feel so guilty about it. I had about 1000 calories and I am only 16 days post op. I joined the gym on Sunday and went twice so far but hurt my knee and was told I have tendonitis so I have to wait for the inflammation to go down before I can start exercising again!!!! I am just getting into a rut and feel like crap. I am trying to hardly eat anything today but I am starving now after eating so much yesterday. HELP!!!!

1000 calories is too little! You can still exercise though. Get some 3-5 pound weights and do some lifting with your arms...

PLEASE DON'T BEAT YOURSELF UP ABOUT THIS! You are human and as such you will make mistakes! Although I have to agree that 1000 calories is not a problem. Now, if it was 5000 calories, then that IS too much. We all have good days and bad days. Days when we're hungry all day and days we have to urge ourselves to eat anything at all. Guilt is a powerfully negative emotion, and it is USELESS. That being said, I've felt guilt myself at times with my eating. Please just try to remember (as I try to) that you are human and you will make mistakes from time to time. :w00t:

Good heavens. It might be too much, it might be too little, and it might be JUST RIGHT. There's no way of knowing without knowing a whole lot more about a person.

Re: the weights. My doctor did NOT clear me for any weight lifting until after my four-week check; before you do more than basic cardio stuff, check with your doctor to make sure it's okay.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
