Not sure what I need.........



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Dec 26 2012. I did very well with what I am suppposed to have for a while, but lately, I have been eating poorly. I want o snack all day, i want breads, I dont get my Protein in. I have been eating chocolate ( It is my time of the month ( sorry)) I drink full sugar tea. I am feeling so guilty about this. For a while I was only doing these things once and a while, but now I am messing up all the time. I also stopped losing weigh this week.

How do I snap out of it? has this happened to anyone else?

Just start the new day tomorrow with your protien drink and then get back to the basics.

Try to remember how far you have fun and what you went through to get your surgery. Do you have support groups in your area to go to and help. That might be something that can help you through the difficult times. Take care and hang in there.

Focus on your Protein first. I think if you stick with eating your protein first 5x a day...you won't really have room for anything else. Protein also gives you the full feeling on top of your sleeve. I think everyone is different. If you can get all the high sugar stuff out of the house, then I think that might help. you probably want to snack all day because you haven't been getting your protein in and don't feel "full"/.

You need to get your Protein in. It will help you feel full, and you won't have room for those other things. Try Snacks that are high in protein instead. I like cheese (Babybel), Jerky and Protein Bars for snacks.

<slap> <slap> Did that help? :P

You can get back on the wagon! You've had your "fun" with the junk, it's time to go back to healthy eating. I know it's hard, but you can do it! Look at how much you've already lost. A support group is a good idea. Remember you control the food, the food doesn't control you.

      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.
