I have fallen back into my old habits. My parents are staying with my husband and I while their RV is being fixed. All my mom eats is junk food. She has bought cakes and Cookies and soda. I don't seem to dump on those items and have begun eating all of it. For the first few weeks I thought I had it under control - I have been so good for a year a few bites won't kill me. On top of that I broke my ankle playing soccer last week. Which means I am not working out like I was. Last night I realized it had gotten real bad. In a few hours time I had eaten 3 small bags of cookies, and crackers. I have stopped drinking my Protein Shakes and stopped taking my Vitamins since I broke my ankle.

My plan for tonight is to talk with my parents and then my husband and I will throw out the junk food. I know others have gone through this. When I first started eating like this again I was continuing to loose weight and sizes.

Does anyone have other suggestions to get through this bump in the road.

I am 10 months post op and have lost 110 pounds.

My best advice is to talk to them. Tell them you are having a hard time and you'd appreciate that they remove the junk food or make sure it's away from you. Then start back on the Vitamins and Protein shakes. Focus on that. Once you've been doing that, use this experience to gain some self control. Junk food will be constantly around us and you will be happier if you can go to a birthday party and refuse cake and be totally happy about it then sit around with the feeling "I shouldn't have done that" or "one piece won't hurt". The first couple months I had all junk food out of my house, now it's here but I've gain self control I can sit with my family while they eat cake, Cookies, chips, candy and I'm not even bothered by it. Good luck and I really hope you get back on track!!!

      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.
