Death to the carb monster



Recommended Posts

This has been my worst week ever for me, I think this week I have been to laid back and let the carb monster back into my life. I have had a lot of chips, a couple of mini snicker ice cream bars, a couple of iced beers and lots of almonds and cashews. For the last 2 days my meals have consisted of home made steak or chicken Quesadillas with 2% cheese. I have been feeling like every other hour I need to eat something. I try to drink Water and Crystal light or a generic brand to help but no matter what I have done this week I feel like I need more. I didn't loose any weight this week and I was on a good role for quite awhile. I'm just hoping Monday I will be able to get back on track and I have finished eating the Blue Diamond Almonds,Bold, Wasabi & Soy. These things are so good and just slide right through. I know things will get better but if the scales start going up more than a few pounds I will feel like I headed back to my old ways. I just wanted to share my bad week with everyone, since I have had a lot og good progress but not this week.

Thanks for reading .

Hang in there. I've had to fight the carb monster a few times myself. I find that the more sugar carbs I eat, the more I crave them. To break the cravings, I go back to my old Atkins diet and eat boiled eggs, lean pork and chicken breast. Along with good carbs like yellow squash, Beans and brussel sprouts.

Keep Pimpin' that Sleeve!

      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.
