I've Clearly Learned Nothing.



Recommended Posts

I'm at no restriction right now due to a horrible stuck episode. I got my unfil last Tuesday, took it easy for a couple of days, now I'm eating like a wild animal! Well, not really. I'm not eating as much as I used to, but in comparison to what I can eat while in the green zone, it's sickening. Today alone I've had probably 3 cups of rice (between lunch and dinner, not in one sitting) and two steamed dumplings. Breakfast was a shake, at least I started the day right. But why am I acting like I just got off a deserted island?? I know better! I have three more weeks to go before I can get a fill :( I need someone to taze me or something when I start stuffing my face.

Why are they making you wait so long? I have had 2 unfills and was able to go back in the next week.

Your body may just be craving carbs. It could just be your body's way of rebelling and telling you what it wants...hopefully it will even out and you will get back on track! You are 68 lbs down, that is fantastic, remember the hard work it took to get there the next time you reach for some rice! I would sell my youngest child right about now to be down 68lbs! (Just kidding...I'd probably get more for the oldest! LOL) Stay strong and good luck!

He thought my stomach was irritated because I mentioned that I had a little heartburn. He wants it to heal properly, which is all fine and dandy, but some days I just have no control. I NEED restriction!

That's along time to wait! If I were you and felt better next week I would try to get in!

Just remember that yes the band gives us restriction yet we always have to choose our food wisely

That's possible, I do normally take it easy on the carbs. tomorrow is a new day! (and you can totally get more for the younger child, unless your older one is especially skilled in something lmao)

I know, it's all a mental thing. I don't know what to do to overcome it.

njmomma,

i feel for you. SO I was nice now get yourself together you can do it.

Let me tell you a little about me may be it would help.

I was in green. Doing ok. Then bam out of no where throwing up, reflux night cough. They took 2.75 out. .They said I would have to wait 10 weeks for a fill.

It was so hard but i told myself not will not allow myself to gain it back. I had already put on 4 lbs. So this is what i did- I measured my food and logged my food i mean eveything even an m & M. I exercised and made sure i drank my Water. I went to my fitness pal. I also went to the chat here and boards . Gained 2 lbs in 10 weeks, You can do it. Our minds are very strong but so are we.!!!!

Good luck you can do it.

Wendy

        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
