Motivating Factor



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

I was banded Nov. 28 and was extremely motivated the first two weeks... But now I feel as if I've lost my momentum. Do any of you know any good support groups or excercise classes in Brooklyn? I'm hoping that will help motivate me again...

Sorry you're feeling this way! I can't help you b/c not from Brooklyn, but maybe can phone your LB surgeons office and ask them. My Dr has a support group that meets once a month. But I enjoy the support here much more. This is a 24/7 group.

Good luck in finding your mojo! Happy Holidays!

Just thought of another thing that might help. Go to Success Stories & read others accounts and go look at before & after pictures too.

Look under the groups on this site. A lot of times people list their locations. Best wishes, I have never attended a support group, but have family and friends that are very supportive of me. And, as Maddygram said, I come here for uplifting support(just like a support bra,heheh). Merry Christmas, happy holidays. Karen

You might need a fill are you getting hungry be 4 hours? the not being hungry keeps me motivated and that was what I did and it made a big difference. looking into a gym near you is a great idea.

If you can join a exercise class at the gym that might help you also be motivated to show up for classes. There are days that I don't feel like going to class but I know that it will be the noticed if I'm not there .

      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.
