Okay May 2008 Bandsters.....anyone need help & support to get the motivation back?



Recommended Posts

I am having a very difficult time, I have yet to get below that 200 mark....I have issues of when I am stressed I throw everything up, when I travel to the rockies I cant eat for days becuz I am all swelled up. I haven't had a fill in over a year, Cookies and other crap go down just fine, but I can't keep down ribs, pork chops, pork roast, hamburger, etc..

I am trying to find a support bandster buddy that we can keep each other on track daily. Like challenge each other daily to drink 8 glasses of Water, how many laps in the pool did we do that day, how many miles on elliptical, how much free weights did you do that day etc.

Anyone interested???????????????

Pretty please..I am so tired of being fat, but its hard to find support around here.

I understand completely! Remember you are not a failure! We are all "under construction". Loosing weight is the hardest thing most of us have ever had to do, so don't discount that. Start small...work on getting one thing back on track. Like the Water for instance. I'll help you out as much as possible! I have come a long way, but I make mistakes everyday still. We just have to remember, none of us are perfect, and that's OK. If we can do "mostly" good "most" of the time, we will be successful. That's my mantra anyway...!!

      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.
