What Have I Done?



Recommended Posts

I have been doing okay losing weight but have recently fallen into bad habits and been eating foods I shouldn't. I was 185.5 Friday and weighed in tonight at 190. I am usually only 1-2 pounds diff between am and pm. I need to get back on track. Is it ok to eat 4 meals or should I be 3 meals and a snack. I think I need to work on willpower, have been eating although not really hungry. I am so disappointed that I have done this tp myself and now have to re-lose these pounds when I could be working on my last 5 pounds to 50 lb loss now I'm back to ten away. So upset. Would like someone other than myself to blame. If you are interested in taking the blame let me know. Again dreading my measuring cupbut this is a terrible feeling. Wish me luck!

You may need to get another fill. Also, when I gain weight it is usually because I am eating too much sugar. I would see if I could get a fill. That will help alot!

Prat,

I eat 6 meals a day so I'm never going more than 2.5 hours without eating. That, along with getting my Water requirements in, keeps me from wanting to eat at other times.

Breakfast is just a Protein shake since I'm usually too tight to eat (and I'm not a Breakfast person anyway). Then 2.5 hours later I have another Protein Shake. lunch is 2.5 hours after that and I'll have 2-3 oz of Protein, 1/2-1 cup of low carb vegies (broccoli, etc.) and 1/4 cup carbs (rice, potatoes, noodles, etc.). Then 2.5 hours later another Protein Drink. Then 2.5 hours after that I'll have dinner which is similar to lunch. My final meal is 2.5 hours after that and it's usually a Protein Drink but if I'm feeling hungry, I'll make a small salad with 2 oz of protein in it (hard boiled egg, cheese, tuna fish, etc.). Oh and if I'm hungry between my my main meals and really wanting to chew on something, or having a craving for sweets, I'll switch out the protein drink for an apple or pear.

My daily calories average out at about 1200.

I find that my cravings become compulsive when I'm overdoing it on carbs.

I suggest you start journaling your food intake. It is very helpfull to see it on paper. Keep track of your protien and calories. Also, if your not already, I highly recommend starting an excersise program. Start slow and gradually increase the intensity and/or duration. Also, liquids for 2-3 days may help get you back on track. As others posted, you may need a fill.

      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.
