Since being sleeved, have you ever had a day where you did not make the best food choices? I had a day like that yesterday and today I am feeling guilty about it. I did not over do it but I just did not choose the right foods for me to eat and I did not get all my Water in. If you have had these days, how do you handle them and the guilty feeling afterwards or better yet, how do you not let yourself get to that point?

Yesterday was the same for me, I snacked all day... I ate about 200 calories more than I was supposed to, but when I look back on it... heck, that is NOT a lot for a one time thing. I even lost almost a pound, didn't expect that! In a bigger perspective, the day before I ate 100 less than i was supposed to, so there ya go.... sometimes your just hungry and sometimes your not. I think having healthy Snacks on hand, and getting back on the horse as soon as possible is the trick. One day will not kill you. Its the day in and day out poor eating habits that will sneak up on you. When I was snacking I asked myself if I wanted to do it and I told myself "Today, yes" and I kept it pretty healthy and today is a new day. I packed my lunch with very healthy stuff, including a big salad. Its good. The guilt does not make my salad taste any better.

I have these days like every weekend. I try not to beat myself up over it, I am HUMAN! Not for nothing, I got the sleeve so that I do not have to be on a special DIET for the rest of my life. I know that if i am going to go a bit overboard on the weekends, when I go back to work on Monday, I am back on track!

Don't stress over it, you are shaking up your body, and it will probably respond better to losing with that!

I had one of those days today, I ate two Cookies and I its my first sweet since sleeved in January. Although it was good, I just don't want to pick up old habits! I don't feel alot of guilt just hope my stomach doesn't kill me tonight. But it may do my body a good shake, because I never know if I am eating enough compared to my exericise. Tomorrow is a new day!

I slipped up yesterday :( It was my dad's birthday and my husband made homemade Hershey chocolate icing. Needless to say, I ate about 2 tablespoons of icing over the course of the afternoon... I beat myself up over it yesterday, but, you know what? Today is a new day, I can't undo it, I can only do better today!! That's just the attitude I have to have about that kind of stuff because IT HAPPENS! We are all human.

      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.
