Do you eat out all weekend? Uf you do then you need to plan ahead and bring foods with you and also have a plan of where/what you can eat on the go. (for example; I can have black bean Soup at panera or a veggie burger minus the bun at burger king)

If you are eating junk at home get it out of the house! garbage is garbage whether it gets there by eating it or tossing it. Just toss it! replace with healthy snacks/food. Laughing cow cheese wedges are great, fresh fruit, Greek yogurt, etc.

I found that not planning ahead was a big problem and I have been working on always having a plan.

MellioM gave some great advise. Also ask yourself why you are doing this on the weekends? Do you feel deprived during the week? Try to make a plan that will work all week long, maybe eat more calories during the week and balance it out. Are you drinking your Water on the weekends? I find if I don't drink enough Water on the weekends I eat more.

Now that you have identified the problem you can get a game plan to solve it. You can do this!

This weekend has been espy ally hard with three day weekend and the day off of work so it kind of throws the weekend structure!!!! Ok, so you binged a little on the wrong foods...I had a margarita ( skinny but still!) today might be the day you go for a nice long run/walk and get back on track or go for a hike with family. It seems that kicking in some fitness may jumpstart that urge to eat well again...it is for me but I'm also enjoying a few extras, like a bite of lavendar fudge from Palisade, CO. We are all human and you will get back on track...it's ok:) Good luck

      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.
