Fell off track during the holidays....



Recommended Posts

Oh my goodness! I had difficulty staying on track during the holidays. I'm up 2 lbs. and I'm getting discouraged. I just started Day 45 and I'm in the regular transitional phase of the diet. Any suggestions as to how I can get back on track?

Just don't stop. You know what to do, you have been doing for over a month now. Water, nutrition, exercise, sleep, love yourself.

Measure, track and pay atention to your foods. Small bites, no fluids with your foods. No sliders, no "bad foods".

You have hit your body with food that will, literally, make you crave more of the same. Avoid tha carbs, the trans fats, the salts, grains. Make every bite count, be full of wonderful, full of sunshine and health.

Cantaloupe and melons and peaches, banannas, berries, squash, Beans and nuts, figs (OMG FIGGS) - all are in abundance right now - it's literally the time of the harvest. Don't look at is as doing without or back to anything mundane - get creative with your 'back on track".

No worries. Just get back to the basics. You will have those moments when you get off track. But as long as you recognize it before you go too far, you'll be ok. I've strayed once in a while, and get right back to the basics. 10 mon post op & still losing. So, don't be discouraged. It's ok. Good luck!

People are not defined by the mistakes they make but by the way they recover from those mistakes. You have obviously accepted what you did now get back on track and you will be fine. I don't believe anyone should deny themselves everything they like you just need to be able to deal with it and adjust to make up for reading the things you like sometimes.

I am only 5 days post op gastric sleeve and I just licked and sucked the cheese off of a .25 cent bag of Doritos. I didn't eat the chips. All chips are in the garbage. But I feel like a failure. It's too soon to indulge in cravings and I just dived in. Not a good sign. :( :(

I'm depressed and finding that I am picking up bad eating habits. I really need help to get back of track. Any suggestions?

      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.
