Frustration and depression....



Recommended Posts

So, I've been working very hard to log absolutely everything that goes in my mouth. Tracking every calorie, every bite. I'm walking at least four times a week. I'm trying so hard to prove I can lose a little weight during this six months pre-op weight loss. Yet this morning I got on the scale and was up in weight. How is this possible? I'm so frustrated I just want to eat whatever I want. Forget all the healthy stuff, if it doesn't matter why not eat the yummy food. I'm so frustrated and it's so depressing I don't know what to do.

Kell, It is so hard. I know I have been there. But don't give up. For this reason is why we are on this journey. My scale would go down five then back up four. I was so depressed. Just keep doing what you are doing. Keep trying to up your Protein, it really does help. This is a long journey and you just need to take it day by day. Feel free to vent, yell and scream to us if needed. We are here for you. Just keep going. You will be so happy you did!

Kell, my heart goes out to you. This journey is anything but easy. Keep doing what you're doing. If you fall off the wagon, get back up! Who was it that said, "It's not how many times you fall, it's how many times you get back up..."

      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.
