getting more confident



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I was a bit concerned in week two that i regained some Water weight, but have started to turn that around now and back on track. This is much easier when im at work as ive a grazing mentality when at home, always tripping to the fridge.

Just wanted to share that, and 2 weeks, 9lb gone! Hopefully another 4 by next tuesday!

Have a lovely day!

Thanks Seppi,

Sometimes its a little hard to maintain the focus and belief that it will happen though, as I have failed before so many times with diets...

You've done amazingly in a year... I would be overly delighted with your result!!! Congratulations!

I have my fingers and toes crossed now!

Sx

You will find that at times your weight will continue to fluctuate, but overall it will be a downward trend! Congrats on your first 9 lbs gone!

Grt job, I have an idea for you, when you get the grazing bug, eat a cheese stick, made with motzorella and skim milk, in your store cheese section. I to have this issue and to hlp me stay on track I also put a picture of a large animal from the farm on the fridge and I wrote You are Next. It hlps greatly

Thank you for the encouragement. Right now I am rather hungry at work, and because I am working very long days, it means I tend to want to eat many more times… this is not so good although, in a lot of ways better than being at home. When at home I end up grazing totally in the fridge, like a lost sheep so its in some ways a bonus. The only problem now lies in the fact that I am having difficulty finding enough appealing things to drink as I am stuck with liquids at the moment, and puree when I get home. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

The remainder of the time at work that means, simply the odd juice, and yoghurt and if possible the occasional non-lumpy soup…<o:p></o:p>

Rock on solid foods although will definitely need a fill due to feeling like I can eat a small hog. <o:p></o:p>

Yikes, but I appreciate greatly the support!<o:p></o:p>

Was dreaming about chocolate cake last night… also, cant get the same type of cheese sticks here in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region>, but I adore real buffalo mozzarella, luscious!<o:p></o:p>

Right, back to work for now!

      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.
