Feeding frenzy pre op



Recommended Posts

I want to kick myself in the butt. I was down to 223 lbs from 249 lbs 10 data ago. How in the hell did I gain 9 lbs since then? I have been doing some extra snacking and find myself at long John silvers yesterday with eaters regret after I downed a meal there. Someone please yell at me and tell me to get back on track. My next weigh in pre op is march 4th so I gotta hop to it! What is wrong with me??????

We all have regrets and weak moments, but you need to jump back on the bandwagon! Do you want this surgery and to get healthy or do you want to stay overweight and be sick? You can do this!!! Be strong! Every day is a choice. =)

Mishab I can totally relate! Yesterday I had a particularly stressful day at work so I went out with co-workers for lunch instead of eating the healthy lunch I packed . I ate a hot turkey sandwich complete with mashed potatoes and gravy! Argh! Today is a new day and I am going to pick myself up and move forward. I didn't get here by making healthy food choices. In the past I would have started down the road of why bother- it won't work blah blah blah. I'm not going to do that this time. We can do this!

I too I'm on my high Protein solid food diet and it its very hard. I have given in a fee times but when i do i try and make slightly better decisions then before. Just little steps. Do not deprive yourself during a craving our something because then if you give in later it will be worse!

I saw i great quote on pinterst:

one bad meal doesn't make you fat, just like one healthy meal doesn't make you skinny!

Get up and do it!!!!!!! Message me for encouragement

Great quote! I'm hoping to have surgery in April or May. My insurance requires a 3 month diet and I have to have 4 monthly nut apps. How about you?

I just got off the treadmill. Which even with all the waiting I have been doing , I have actually been doing religiously. Feeling more in control today. One if you said stress at work was a trigger for you. Well I think that has been mine the past couple weeks. I snack to deal with and avoid work. I gotta find a replacement for the eating. Maybe walk around where I work instead of walking to the cafeteria? I think that's a start.

I was hoping for April but May is probably more realistic. Either way it will come fast :)

      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.
