Backsliding



Recommended Posts

Sometimes I think we have to dig deeper into the reasons why we overeat. It may be as simple as your schedule, or maybe you eat in front of the tv, or it might be something that you need help with like eating to cope with stress. I would recommend journaling and/or maybe seeking therapy just to get some professional thoughts on the subject. I know a lot of people freak out sometimes at the thought of therapy but sometimes it just helps to toss thoughts and ideas at someone that has insight into why we sabotage ourselves and our weight loss. Just my two cents! Good luck!

I love the myfitnesspal. to put the portion in it is right under where it asks you to enter the serving amount.

I love my fitness pal too! I'm under the username dawalsh OR tutti517 if you want to be a MFP buddy. MFP keeps me honest with my calorie count and I've gone over my calorie limit 3 times since Dec. I hate when I see the red numbers but it keeps me aware.

Oh and i also wanted to thank you for this post because this is the reason why i joined this site. I want to hear from real people living their everyday lives with the lap band and their successes and struggles.

That's what brought me here when I joined. I wanted to read the good and bad or negative aspects of the band. I also love the caring support I receive from this forum. I'm looking forward to following your journey. Good luck!

That's exactly why I'm here! Not here to sugar coat anything, and I know that I can speak my mind here, and hear what I need to hear to get back on track!

      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.
