why did I eat that pecan roll?



Recommended Posts

Last night before I went to bed, I told myself today was going to be a new day and I was going to start out by getting back on track. Woke up this morning and ate a pecan roll. REALLY??? I had my surgery on September 12 and I have been pretty much the same weight the last three months because I keep eating crap I shouldn't. Ugh. I'm down about 64 lbs. Starting weight was 325.

Try putting on your old clothes or look at old photos of yourself. You can find your motivation again! You can do this!! Get that crap out of your house. It's too tempting. Or say ok I can eat that after I have my Protein and most likely you won't want it.

Hey Sleeveshelly, I had my surgery on September 10 two days before you. Now I am sure that you got 85% of your stomach removed to be successful and reach your goal weight. That pecan roll will NOT help you get there. As the other poster said, get that crap out of your house, go back to eating low carb/high Protein, track your intake and drink your Water. As time goes on you will be able to eat more and it WILL be harder to lose the weight. Don't you want to be a success now? I know that you can do this, you have already lost some weight, great job, but you have a way to go. Trust me when you reach your goal weight you will be able to have a pecan roll, just not everyday. Positive vibes I am sending your way, tomorrow is a new day, seize it by the horns and get a grip on your eating, you can do this!!

      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.
