Big fight with fiancé. Second day in a row.

Fights are a HUGE trigger for my food addiction. I grew up in an abusive house and it's my pattern. Big fight. Gorge. Feel better.

I left the house. I'm in the car with 5 fast food places around me. Crying because I just want to eat and make this feeling go away. I'm 3 weeks out. My other coping skills are only developing. This is so hard.

Hot tubs make everything better! You should see if there is a hot tub/spa place around...or go see a movie. When I'm nervous or angry I play video games to keep my mind off everything

I play video games too if I'm super upset. Get a big jug of Water. Don't eat the fast food. Don't let it win. You will feel horrible and regret it. Try to take control of yourself. Support sent!!

This is where the rubber meets the road, right? This is reality and you cannot run to food.

Times like this is where you develop your new coping skills. Don't do something in the short term to make yourself feel better that yu will regret in the morning!

I just said a prayer for you!

Yes this will be hard, but you can do it!! Honestly one if the only things that keep me from stopping at fast food places is I HATE being sick and I know how real dumping is. The second reason is I went through too much pajn from this surgery for it not to be successful. The psychologist I went to prior offerd his aasistance post-op maybe yours can assist you. I hope this helps.

Exercise, work it out. I know that when I get really mad (hasn't happened in many years) I start cleaning and let my frustrations out that way.

Archimedes!!!! It took me a day and a half to get past that. I had to use all my magic on the first trial of those witches. And the snakes give you more magic as you kill them. Second trial use the rest of your magic on those spear chicks. And just slowly kill the guy with the hammer. It damn near drove me nuts.

Tomb raider is still around?! Jeez.

      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.
