How bad? A lil extra Creamer in your coffee or a pint of ice cream?

I log all foods and just seeing the numbers helps me.

I won't claim to be perfect. I've had a cookie, some cupcake at a bday party but I logged them and considered them a treat. I view this as my life, not just a program I'm on until goal weight. I think that mindset helps me-knowing day in and day out I need to make good decisions to be healthy.

So think about what you've been doing and if you really don't think you can do it alone then you might consider talking with a therapist. We all have issues with food. The head hungry is a lot worst that the stomach grumbling.

Keep reading this board; read only successful weight loss blogs, read successful maintenance blogs. Stay away from "diet blogs" where the writer never loses weight and always looks for pats on the back--it will justify your off-plan behavior. Poke around this site and read the posts of people who have taken off their weight/maintained their weight...let their good habits rub off on you! Studies show that surrounding yourself with people (virtual or real life) who have done this successfully will help keep you on the straight and narrow.

for me tracking every bit keeps me on track and 1200 and under so at least I haven't gained and for me that is a win. cleaning out my house of food I cant eat really has been a life saver as the devil in my head has a different plan so I figure out how to beat it and it has worked so far...good luck its a chanlenge that is for sure.

      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.
