Today the scale is moving and I am down 21.6 lbs since surgery, but emotionally I seem down, not sure why. Might have been the fact that my mom had us stop at McDonald's for my sons lunch and they both ate while I drank unsweetened tea, then i proceeded to drop the tea 3 times. Finally I threw it out!!!

Does anyone else have bad days like this ??

Honestly, this is the most emotional thing i have been through. I have days everything goes wrong and i cry constantly on those days. I feel like im not losing enough. I have always put my self down my whole life. You will have bad days and a very emotional ride but always hold your head high and keep going. Remember you are doing it for your health.

Yes! I have bad days too. I think we all do. I start feeling bad when I look in the mirror and wonder how did I get so stinking fat? I also feel deprived when the waitress comes around asking about dessert. Of corse, the Desserts were part of what added to me getting fat in the first place, and then there is when my husband goes out to dinner by himself, because there isn't anything I can eat at that restaurant.

We all have those moments, just remember what's at the finish line. I know food was a big part of my life but instead of food controlling me I'm controlling it now. So keep your head up and know you aren't alone.

Everyday is a roller coaster - with tons of tears. You never know what's going to set if off. They say it gets better but I cant imagine it. My favorite food is pizza and I don't know how to be happy without it.

Try going to the worldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com She has a ton of pizza recipes where she uses a mission carb control tortilla for the crust. I am a pizza junkie also. I am going to try to make a basic recipe this week:)

Another pizza tip is to make a cauliflower crust. There are lots of recipes available online. I love it! Delish!

I have days like this too. I feel the same way as you do. Some days are better than others. Its so hard. I don't regret it at all, I just get down sometimes. Mostly about myself. I'm not losing it fast enough and stuff like that. Try to keep positive and everyday is a new day.

I do feel bad sometimes cuz I'm also a pizza lover. I also enjoy cheeseburger. I buy it for the kids & it doesn't bother me. I drink ice cold Water. Also I have diet snapple iced tea flavor. I had a lot of ice & it's like having iced tea from outside.

Today is a good day. I have been happy with the weight I have lost and I know that I made the right decision, I guess some days will be harder then others . I feel good knowing that I am smart

Enough not to try anything off my diet, too scared of dumping !!!!

I have pizza I just have a smaller amount and thin crust when possible. There is hope you can have pizza eventually.

I am sorry everyone is having bad days. We should be feeling great and happy, right?! Keep in mind, your fat is where all your hormones are stored and because you are dropping the fat so rapidly, your hormones are going berserk trying to figure out where to go and what to do with themselves. It is normal to have the feeling you are going crazy because you don't feel like yourself. It will get better.

I find I am very short with my husband and just have no patience for things. Some days I feel sooooo tired I just want to stay in bed. I know his will all pass. Hang in there!!

The last couple of days have sucked.. Cried a lot- and not sure why.. The huge lifestyle change- the sadness of missing food as my comfort- plateau in weight loss- etc.. It's such a huge transition!! And no one gets it- besides all of you!! Surgery was 5/21..

      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.
