Why Did I Eat That?



Recommended Posts

I'm at a ballpark and I ate a soft pretzel. All by myself. Over an hour.

Why did I do that? It wasn't necessarily delicious... I wasn't necessarily hungry

Five months out and still mess up. And I even know that "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels"

I'm almost 5 months out and I mess up on occasion... My thought is this... Moderation is key!! I didn't have this procedure to be on a diet the rest of my life. I had it to help give me the control that I lacked when it came to food. You ate a soft pretzel... so what?? Just watch what you eat the next few days and you will get back on track... I had some Chef Boyardee Beefaroni this evening for dinner... Not the most healthy choice but I had a craving, I ate about 1/2 a cup and now I am full and good to go... 6 months ago I was eating a whole can of Beefaroni along with a grilled cheese AND Doritos!! LOL

I want and STILL enjoy some of my favorite foods..... I'm almost 90lbs down in 5 months so I must be doing something right!!! LOL

Good heavens! You ate a pretzel?! The heavens are going to punish you!!! Not really..not any worse than you are beating yourself up right now! I would bet you probably ate much less than you normally would have...and really ballparks don't offer the healthiest selections. So ..stop beating yourself up! A trick you can try that I do at my daughter's soccer games is to have Water, Protein Shakes, and a small snack of pre-portioned nuts, PB, or other high Protein snack toted in a small lunch sized cooler. Easy, portable, & very doable! Keeps me on track! May help you stay on target too! But above all..Give yourself some credit!!!

      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.
