Old habits die hard getting back on track



Recommended Posts

Went out of down this weekend found myself eating and drinking a few things I shouldn't have. I'm only 17 days out its hard without any fills. I ate less but not as health as I could have.Good thing I'm going Friday for my first fill also plan on getting in the gym this week ;)

I believe you need to let yourself enjoy a day like that now and then as long as you know that you get back on track the next day. It isn't a "life style" change if you don't allow yourself some fun. Then it is just a diet. You did say one thing that tells me your brain was still in it. You ate LESS. That is a good thing. I am sure if you are anything like me, before surgery you would have really indulged. Count this as a fun day and move on. :)

I think you should look at the positive you did make changes you ate less and you where aware of what you were doing you didn't do that before. This is a process mark down the changes you notice it give your brain a charge to keep going. You did great and should be proud as the fills come you will notice more and learn more..like ophra says "when you know better you do better" that goes for us all. Great Job

I'm in the same boat as you.. For a few weeks now I have seen my old habits slowly come back! I'm having a hard time trying to get back on track but if we keep pushing we will get 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.
