Had a bad week. I dealt with some emotional baggage and some insecurity from decade ago that took its toll on me. In my depressed aftermath, I took to food. I have gotten off my schedule and track at 5 months post op. The good thing is, I realize it. Now I just need some support and encouragement from other sleevers who have been there and gotten back up. Thanks!

So sorry to hear about your tough week. I think that's going to happen to us all from time to time. As you said, since you've recognized it, that seems to be great progress compared to before, and of course, the sleeve is probably limiting the damage that you can do.

Growth is always challenging and painful isn't it? Hope you are soon on the other side of it, and as the previous poster mentioned, going back to Protein, getting rid of junk, drinking more Water, may all help you get back on track.

good luck!

This is true..There is not one of us who will not struggle now and then with the issues that helped us become addicted to food...You are a head of the game because you recognized it and now you are back on track....Great progress on your part I say!!!!!!

If we can fix our heads, we will be able to fix our bodies :) !

Thank you so much for the support! Sometimes we beat ourselves up, we need to get back to being kind to our bodies and nurturing it. I will work on it this weekend!

      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.
