need to get back on track



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have been struggling for the past 3 weeks. I have been making poor choices and seems as if I am letting my old self back in. I DO NOT want this to happen... I need to get back on track... I need to find it within me again as I am too newly banded to be self destructing already... Any tips on getting back on track before I do some damage to my band...

thanks

1. Look at how much weight you have lost and how good it feels .2. When you go to eat that wrong thing, stop and ask yourself is it really worth it, do I want to eat this more then loosing weight? 3. Go for a walk instead of eating 4. up your Protein and Water intake 5. go see your Dr. 6. go back to basic 7. remember why you got the lap band and the work you had to do to get it.biggrin.gif

agree with Brenda. It is so easy to get off of track, it is the bad habits that got us to where we were. but that does not define you at all. i get off track too, but pick myself back up and get back on track. you would not be human if you fell off the wagon :)

you can do this!

I am fairly new as well, 10 weeks post-op. I have not been making the best choices the past 2 weeks and I am determined to get back on track. What is the 5-day pouch test?

I would recommend going to a support group meeting. That always helps me.

      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.
