Getting over it...



Recommended Posts

Every now and then I get hungry. I look and all I seem to want is the bad things or a lot of the good things, either way its not going to work out. I have to literally stop, breathe, take a look in the mirror at my 50lb loss and get over myself. Is there anyone else that has these moments? If so, how do you work through yours?

YESSSS!!!! When I get those feelings I break them off with a really good Protein shake. I'm 2 months out with 42 lbs lost so far, and I regret every bad food choice that I have ever made. But no, you are not alone out here!!!! Stay strong!

Almost the same way. I stop, take a breath, tell myself it's not worth it and remind myself of the 66lbs I've lost and DO NOT want back. :)

I've been going through it a lot lately. I just started trying to time myself so I don't keep on eating. I'm a stress eater. As soon as something goes wrong the hunger kicks in. I'm also having a hard time drinking Water.

I should have taken that step before having a second serving of lunch today. Ugh. I need to realize that self-sabotage is NEVER worth it!

I usually also drink a Protein Shake so I don't eat bad. I was sleeved Dec 11, 2012

Down 50 at times the hunger seems so bad

I feel I've done something wrong and my stomach got bigger

Anyone feel that?

Thanks...I absolutely love Water and now I'm starting to curb my appetite with Isopure. I definitely don't want that weight back though. I'm only two weeks out and have lost a good amount and there is no way I'm going back down that road again. So hunger binges have to take the back seat...lol

Lets just say this has been a week of hell. And nothing feels better than food. I've completely fallen apart and seem to want to munch on something every 2 hours if not earlier. I hate turning to food when I stress but I can't control it.

      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.
