What Are You Hungry For? It's Not Food!



Recommended Posts

Why are you eating? What are you hungry for? It's not food! This is a page I came across while looking for help. It's a discussion about those very questions, based on the novel by Geneen Roth, "Women, food and God"...she and Oprah Winfrey talk it out. It's quite eye opening! Give it a glance...

I love love love that book. I own it and have read it a number of times. Matter of fact, was looking for it the other day. It means getting down on my knees went and I didn't know have the strenght to do it.

This should be a must read & read & read to everyone. You get the picture don't you.

If people don't want to read it b/c it mentions God. It is NOT a religious book.

maddysgram,

I have yet to read the book, I was going to buy it last week, but instead chose to buy Jean McMillan's Bandwagon book. When I'm done (if you ever really stop needing it!) I plan on moving on to Ms. Roth's book.

I had heard from the author herself that it wasn't about "God", but more spiritual than anything. Good to know from a reader she wasn't lying!

I wish someone could come to my house and get down on their knee's and find my book. I might get down there, but not sure if I can get up again.

I can't wait for the day I can have my knee's replaced, almost as exciting as having my LB. LOL

LOL! I feel for ya.

But don't ask ME to get down on MY knees...I just had both replaced, and they give you an "Oh no you don't!" feeling when you kneel on them. An indescribabley weird, unpleasant feeling.

You'll have to use one of those claw grabbers, dahling!

      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.
