Holiday Melt Down-----time to get back on track!



Recommended Posts

I won't lie. I found myself slipping back into old habits and the holidays "killed me". I am frustrated with myself and need to get back on track. I find myself eating because my brain tells me too, not because I am hungry. I've let self doubting comments take over my actions, which is not acceptable. I CAN do this!! It's time to recognize that, regroup, and focus.

I am making this promise to all of you and hope that I will hold myself accountable to you. I am just over 3 months out from my 1 year surgiversary and need to get down about 30 pounds by then so as to not be embarrassed when I see my doctor. Here's to a refocused me starting now!!

Same here. I didn't gain but I haven't lost in the last couple weeks and I'm 5 months out. It's the damn carbs!!! I need to to back to basics and get the carbs out of my system. We can do it!

It is so easy to eat "bad" food over the holidays and tell yourself that it's just this one time...I certainly did it over the holidays. I don't think I will ever be able to have sweets in the house, it's not fair to my husband, but that's too bad.

Do you have any before pictures that you can look at? Think of what all you have been through in the last year and how hard you worked to get where you are. You can do this! 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.
