Fell off the bandwagon for the last 2 weeks...



Recommended Posts

And back into old eating habits. Sigh. Gained back almost 8 pounds. I was really down on my self this morning but I have a brand new attitude tonight. I got this surgery for a reason...and that was to change my life. So...onward and upward. I need to remember why I did this in the first place...for better health and a better life (and it would be nice to eventually have a hotel towel that will wrap all of the way around me!) Just thought I would share...I know I am not alone in this struggle.

No you are not alone at all!!! The past 2 days I've been eating horrible also, I am completely able to eat crap in large quantities without getting stuck!!! It's been a depressing few weeks here and I finally caved into it and here I am feeling like crap right along with you.

I have been trying to get away with eating all the wrong stuff. I have been vomiting and scared to eat on some days. I have made up my mind to get back on track ASAP

Nope, you aren't alone. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get your butt back on the straight and narrow. Either that or get a towel stretcher ;)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
