Recommended Posts

I must confess that today do to extreme stress I let the old me back and eat like crazy all day long. In my 9 th month out and have not eaten like this for about a year. 4 people shoot outside my home my car drenched in bullets, had I been in it I wouldn't be writing this post and the beast in my belly and brain was released stressed and sick to my stomach, is this a bad sign is stress going to destroy my hard work. Always been an emotional eater but I was sure I had beaten that battle, slain on the weight battlefield today, but happy to be alive. Sorry for the rant

That's terrible. Where do you live???

I'm in my early 40's now. In my early 30's I lost 150+ pounds through diet and exercise. I thought I was bullet proof and my issues with food were solved. I was cured. WRONG. Over the next 10 years I put back on 110 pounds.

Now I know I'll never be 'cured' of my issues with food. It'll be something I'll need to manage, always.

But I learn from my mistakes and move on. When I lose the weight this time, I won't make the same mistakes again.

Learn from today and move on. You're in a better position now because you know there's still emotional eating issues there. Now that you're aware you can manage that next time you feel under stress.

Cheers,

Deano

First and foremost, stay safe.

Given the circumstances, no wonder your inner food demon needed comforting.

Similarly to Deano, I thought I had kicked the food demon out of my life and then life happened - divorce, move, new job, etc and man it was back in full swing.

We all have days. Treat yourself well and remember the stress you were under was crazy and give yourself a great big hug.

And, this is coming from the mommy in me, please move to a safer neighborhood. You deserve it!!!

Hugs,

Jess

First thank goodness you are ok...Don't beat upself up over it. We have all had temptations and fell off the wagon. Brush yourself off..look yourself in the mirror and think how far you have come. The beast won one little battle, but YOU are winning the war. Jump back on the wagon and enjoy the ride. Good Luck

      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.
