Sparatic Eating



Recommended Posts

I was banded 9/14. I eat plenty of Protein each day, at least 70 grams. I have had three meltdowns where I ate Desserts and did not really pay the price. They werre meltdowns because there were uncontrolled due to anger, or emotions etc. I havenot been drinking enough Water and woried that my carb intake is two high. Anyone else like this of can give me some suggestions. I seem to be losing weight but I want to do it the right way.

Eating things like tuna, Protein shakes, soft cheese but to much sugar and carbs with faina and or desserts.

Kind of venting so thanks for listening. Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated.

If you are losing you are prob doing a great job. Having a bit of a dessert here and there is not the end of the world.

If you find that you are eating more carbs than you would like to be then add more protien at the begining of the meal. Also, to feel fuller longer I hear that protien shakes are not the way to go, Maybe try some oatmeal with protien powder in it instead of sugar???

Never beat yourself up for a few indulgences every now and then. As hard as you work, you deserve an occasional treat. As long as you are still losing weight, you are doing something right. Just keep in mind that for every indulgence, harder work will be required. I have an occasional small bowl of ice cream or a piece of cake. I just remember to do an extra five to ten minutes exercise. It is all about moderation. Good luck to you!

Never vanquish yourself up for a few indulgences every now and then. As severe as you energy, you merit an occasional impact. As protracted as you are plant losing weight, you are doing something reactionary. Just reserve in remember that for every leniency, harder output faculty be required. I make an occasional minuscule construction of ice cream or a case. It is all virtually relief. Favourable chance to you!

Thanks for the support all. Just feels weird because I am certainly eating 75% less than normal but do not feel like the band is doing anything eventhought he doctor says that is why I am eatings so much less. I am looking forward to my first fill I guess to reassure me even though the doctor did to that everthing is working properly. I have gone from excited to grateful to scracred to nervous to sad to contentment 10 times each in no order during this ordeal. I am sure it is all worth it in the end.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
