Recommended Posts

I Finally made it to onderland!!!!

Six month stall broken.

I finally gave myself a boot in the ass and told myself to get back on board or I wasted all this time and money for nothing.

I was loosing fine then started drinking diet soda again, that triggered sweet cravings!! so I then discovered I could eat chocolates and drink coffee all day without any problems. Plus, 12 Pepsi Max's a day.

I realize now that I am EXTREMELY carb sensitive so I have gone back to extreme low carb eating. Probably less than 20 carbs a day and it's working. I broke the stall!!! No net-carb crap. No sugar free, no splenda, or aspartame. I found the original Atkins book that he first wrote and am following that (to some degree). Not the 2000 book but the 1970 something book.

I know now that I can't eat like other people I have to watch what carbs are going in my mouth.

I even bought a meat slicer and mini smoke house and make my own beef Jerky. Great snack through the day.

Damn I am so happy right now!!!!!

Yeeee- hooooo!!!!!!

Thanks!

It was a long haul but I finally did it. Now to get these last 50 pounds off.

It is still so easy to fall into bad eating habits, I took the sleeve for granted and assumed it would do all the work for me but now I realize (again) it is just a tool.

It was strange how my brain started searching out for a way to get around it. I started subsisting on my two of my biggest "slider foods" popcorn and chocolate. I became obsessed with them!

The funny thing is I never liked either of them before the sleeve. Seems like subconsciously I found foods that would keep me fat and I could cheat with.

Now I know how people regain their weight. This weight thing seems to go so much deeper than just the physical.

It is very strange how our brains work. lol

Thanks for the congrats!

:)

Well done you!!!

Great news that the stall has been broken and you have learnt a lot about yourself too!

I am currently in the middle of a long stall - abt 2mths - and it really gives me hope to hear that folk on here break long stalls... I know I have to be patient!

Good luck on your continuing weight loss... =]

      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.
