Terrible time to to diet!



Recommended Posts

Christmas has been such a hard time to follow the pre-op diet! I just gave it up for a week because I had my step-kids here for a week and they love my cooking. So it was time for me to cook their favorites--homemade mac'n cheese, spaghetti etc. Then taking them to dinner, making breakfast... it was too hard. They leave tomorrow, but my son is coming today. He is 20 and bringing two friends with him because they are hitting the New Years parties and concerts in Nashville. I have to say that since I haven't been following a diet this week it has made me realize how badly I do eat and how crappy I feel and over tired I am. I felt MUCH better on low-carbs! So--despite new company coming for another week, I am jumping back on the horse. I can't stand feeling this run-down and I can absolutely say it is the foods I've been eating. Hello protein!

Me too! Well I took a few days off for Christmas. Really didn't feel like I went overboard but the grazing really did me in. I'm a baker and spent several days before Christmas making cheesecakes, cakes and Yule logs for people who ordered, plus making my own family's meals and Desserts for Christmas. Those bites really snuck up on me. I gained 2 lbs. two days ago I went back on plan and I already feel so much better. Am I sorry for what I did at Christmas? No I gave myself permission to not worry about it and I guess I am dealing with the consequences. Life goes on. I'm also planning on going out to dinner with my hubby the night before I start my liquid diet (2 days before surgery) because I know it's going to be a long time before we will go out again. May not be 'correct' of me but hey I will deal with any fallout from that night too. Don't beat yourself up for your failures, Celebrate your successes. So much better for your soul.

Yea! You can do it.

I too felt tired after eating a few things for Christmas day that I haven't Had a while.

But since then I ve been getting back on my diet I got from my Nut.

I am pre op too but don't have a sleeve date yet.

Been drinking Premier Protein shake and had tried Isopure grape it was nice.

Be encouraged!

I hate feeling this way about food! It seems crazy to me to view a bowl of Pasta the same way a crack addict views his next fix. No wonder I suck at dieting.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
