At The Weight I Would Always Give Up...



Recommended Posts

So I got on the scale today and a deep depression hit me!

Whenever I would diet off and on for the last 10 years I would get the the current weight I am at today... (give or take a few pounds) and then the scale would stop. For weeks!!!! Then as usual I WOULD GIVE UP and have a damn cookie or a few or bag of chips!

I am on week 3 of post op very struck diet... still pudding type soft foods...

Just in a funk and had to tell someone that would understand.

I totally understand. I was telling my husband the same thing. I am three weeks post op today and have been at the same weight for a week. Sucks. But everyone says this is normal so thats what keeps me going. Plus the fact that I have no choice than to eat soft foods.

I know it could only get better from here. I just have a fear feeling that I am yet going to fail again!

Thank you for the kind words! I know to hold my head high and keep on chuggin along!

      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.
