Ive started getting tempted by some foods I prepare for my family. Since surgery you couldnt pay me to eat something off the plan. The past few days Ive been sneaking a chip here a bite of a chocolate covered granola bar there. I even ate a half of a burger at a BBQ today. Hope I can get back on track tomorrow. I really think I'm still insecure from all of the diets I have failed at in the past. For some reason I cant get it through my head this is not a diet. Don't get me wrong Im working out 6 days a week, going to the gym, keeping calories between 700-800 and getting all protien and Water in most days. Its just everynow and then I have a day where I could go CRAZY! I'm scared Ill fall off the wagon and stay off.

you should look at it as more of a lifestyle change then a "plan" most of us have been dieting most of our life, and probably could stay on a diet or a "plan" with our eyes closed....I dont see anything wrong with a chip here or a Hershey kiss there, as long as you journal and hold yourself accountable..

Wow thats very reassuring from someone who has lost 98 lbs. Im guessing your a little ways out from your surgery and you trust your sleeve now. Im trying to learn to.

I also have a fear of falling off the wagon and it's been a hindrance in my maintenance. My weight is were I want it to be but I keep losing because I can't seem to add in the calories... I'm so worried if I take a bite off plan that I will lose control and start pigging out. These changes take time and its probably best to take it one day at a time!

      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.
