I think the band wagon has left me!



Recommended Posts

So Im still trying to loose the 34 pounds the doctor wants me to loose before my second appointment. Well I only have about 5or6 more pounds to go. I feel like I am just stuck. I have been slipping on my diet. Eating fast food because I have been so busy the last few days. Everyday I wake up with the mind frame of I'm getting back on the band wagon today. I just feel so frustrated at times. Why me? Why couldn't I have a skinny healthy body? I am a good person. I have a daycare, I adopted a baby girl who would have been lost into the system. I have foster children. I give back to society. And yet here I am weighing 456 pounds and struggling to loose weight. I just feel like its not fair at times. Does anyone else feel that way sometimes? Sorry for ranting but I have been feeling a little lost lately.

Everyone hits stalls and feels stuck from time to time. You need to pick yourself back up and remind yourself that you need to do this, for yourself, for your daughter, for all the kids in your life. You're going to inspire a lot of people, you just have to keep faith and make time for yourself.

Keep a food log it will help keep you accountable for your diet. Take the kids and go for a walk, You can do this!

I know the feeling. You know that now that I'm slim I'm afraid to regain & food logging is the best cuz once I'm like close to 1200 per day I stop eating. I don't starve I just count everything makes me feel in control. So I try to leave a little space just in case I get a little hungry. I have a fruit around boy how I love fruits. Lmbo never in a million years I would say I rather have strawberry over a burger.

You can do this! The end result will be so worth it. This journey isn't easy and even after u have the surgery there will be other things about post op life that isn't easy. The only thing easier is not being as hungry as u are pre op. Boredom and emotional upheavals were my downfalls. Try to distract yourself. My fitness pal is a life saver. It keeps me In check. You sounds like such a wonderful woman and u are worth this. Don't give 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.
