I worry sometimes that I'm not losing fast enough even though I know people lose at different rates. It's like head hunger but about weight :)

Does anyone else feel like they are stuck? I know it's a mental thing, but sometime I feel hungry when I know I shouldn't. Is anyone else struggling with this? Im so scared I am going to back slid and I would absolutely die if that happened. Just looking for confirmation that I am not the only one struggling

You are not the only one struggling! I feel the same way you do...

I do feel like I get hungry. I have also started revisiting some bad old habits.

I really had to do some "honest self talk" and in a kind way remind myself that I have all the tools I need to be successful and get to and maintain my goal.

#1~ PROTIEN! I always feel better and eat cleaner when I meet my Protein requirement.

#2~ EXERCISE! It helps me mentally and physically to stay positive and know I am living a healthful lifestyle.

#3~ POSITIVE SELF TALK! I will combat doubts that I will reach and maintain my goal..I I fight the doubts with a few affirmations I have chosen. "This hunger is in my mind and not my body" is one. I repeatedly remind myself of what I did well and not what I may have done that was not well. An example is when I think of that extra food I grazed on and I start the negative defeating self talk I focus on what I did right instead. I tell myself I am proud I exercised, drank Water, had my Protein shake or met my Protein requirement for the day.

I have a back injury and can't exercise as hard as I would like and I have used that as an excuse for my stalls..part of the process for me has been "being real" and identifying where my actual challenges are and where I am making up excuses for some of the bad habits I have.

I think we all doubt our ability to succeed! Knowing we are not alone in that is comforting. We all have the tools and just need to use them! You have done outstanding so far at 69 pounds!! You know what to do Girl!

Does anyone else feel like they are stuck? I know it's a mental thing, but sometime I feel hungry when I know I shouldn't. Is anyone else struggling with this? Im so scared I am going to back slid and I would absolutely die if that happened. Just looking for confirmation that I am not the only one struggling

@@BabyGotBack Thank you so much! I guess I just need to focus more on the positive. Im just not where I'd like to be and am being quite negative about it. Thank you so much for the pep talk!

      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.
