Must you judge?



Recommended Posts

The only people I've told that I've had lap band is my husband, parents and brother. I don't want to be judged and I certainly don't want your comments.

As I was eating lunch today, I got the comment of 'I thought you had Lap band.' 'No kidding, you're really putting it down.'

I had egg salad (1 egg, 2egg whites), 1/4 avocado and 1oz Cracker Barrel cheese. Get offs back!

I'm cranky, rant over.

My husband said something the other day like "Are you still losing weight?".. I said yes I am but it's my problem not yours.. don't bug me about this .. I don't bug you about smoking (which I hate). so you just let me do this wihtout any judgement or comments.. he quickly apologized and said he was just wondering since I hadn't said anything lately.. truth is I don't want to jinx myself.. there have been so many diets and "programs" in the past where I failed and I don't want to fail at this... keep your head up and don't worry about it.. Like they say revenge will be when you are happy , healthier and thin..

I only told a few people and the ones I told have been very supportive. I may tell others later, but for some reason people seem to watch you and wait for you to fail. I don't quite understand it and don't like it. Besides, I'm doing this for me and nobody else.

      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.
