Chips. Dont Eat Them



Recommended Posts

There is no restriction with junk food, people. Between last night and today, I've eaten an entire large bag of potato chips. I can eat them like I used to before the band. The. Entire. Bag. Now I feel like a bloated, Water retaining whale. I do need a fill, but if I don't stop my journey down the junk food path, I won't lose anymore weight... inspiration PLEASE?

Just think... Is it worth it? No.

You had the surgery because you want to change. You need a change.

Go slow, maybe get baked chips, or special K chips and look at the serving size.

I know it's hard. I'm going through bandster he'll myself right now, but we have made a drastic decision to have surgery. Surgery was a HUGE step/ decision so now we have to help ourselves.

I'm not saying stop eating chips completely, but baby steps. If u know ur gonna eat the entire bag, then try not to buy it.

Best of luck!! Were all I'm this together!!!!

You have to find the inner resources to have some self discipline. If you can't , then no chips in the house. I like popchips and snyders healthy chips if I gotta havem. Also, make sure you eat enough Protein throughout the day and fiber- if you feel hungry and deprived you will have lower will power.

Also, exercise at tapping.com helps me with food cravings. It's about a 15 minute demo of something called The Emotional freedom technique

I just read this again for the 3rd time: "It's just a diet till there's restriction".

Until you get that fill that helps you find satiety, you must diet or you won't lose weight.

Don't buy the chips. that simple. if you buy them=you will eat 1=you will eat the whole bag. this is addiction, time to get serious and agressive about fighting back. you wouldn't do a little crack if you were a crackhead or take a sip of alchohol is you went to AA. If you're like me you're a recoving food addict and even if you never pick up another chip in you life, you will still be a food addict...that susceptibility will always be there., so you have to decide if a chip is worth the floodgate of problems it unleashes. i think not. These are things i have to practice telling myself so i don't eat the things that upset me. YOU CAN DO IT!

"Restriction" still won't stop you eating that packet of chips or chocolate or whatever your vice may be. "Restriction" may help you to avoid eating the chips because you are satisfied and you decide that although they taste nice you don't really need them. Don't forget that a big part of this is still you making good decisions.

      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.
