Two Weeks of Bad! Need to get with the program



Recommended Posts

I went to a scrapbook retreat two weeks ago and have been off every since. I havent gained anything, but I have not eaten right since then. I have been having way to many carbs (even popcorn). I dont eat alot at a time, so I dont think I have stretched my stomach. But I need to get better this week.

I go in for a fill on Thursday, so I am hoping that will help. Until then, I am going to try and just back to what I need to be doing. I also have not been on this site, which I think also helps me stay in check. So I promise to check in everyday now. I am bummer because it seems like I have lost two weeks of losing portential :o

Thanks for listening :(

I could have written this --sort of. I have had two bad weeks too. Cravings and Grazing. I wanted chocolate, ice cream, cheese cake, etc. I started eating better yesterday and have gotten back on my square today. Ate my lunch of tuna fish, string and rice cakes (mild chili which are yummy). Going to the gym at noon to work out for 30-40 minutes. I felt so good that I allowed myself the treats...crazy and self defeating.

We can do it!!

I think this is a normal part of the process-- relapse! You have the right idea by making plans to nip it in the bud. I need to do the same.

thanks for posting this...i've been in a really bad place the last two weeks. we went on a mini-vacation for four days starting on the 18th of june. I gave myself permission to eat badly and came back and haven't gotten back on the wagon since. this morning, i weighed in 13 pounds heavier than i was on june 18th. i know that it's not all a real gain, but it's so depressing to see the scale go back up, especially when i worked so hard to get it down. i'm doing all liquids today and tomorrow (hoping that i make it without cheating) and really hope that that takes away my horrible carb cravings. i want my motivation back!

I hear you all! I have been not as good as I could have been lately!! I do realize we need to a=watch what we eat and do our part-but the band needs to do it's part too!! I had excellent restriction for about 5 days after my first fill. I know what the band can do when it is propery adjusted and it's great! I wasn't even able to eat more than a very small amount. Now I can eat a big dinner. My next fill is in 17 days and I can not wait! I know for sure there's light at the end of the tunnel!

Luckly the band is still doing its job a little bit, I get pretty full with a little bit, but I wish it hated carbs. They need to add a carb blocker to the band. :)

      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.
