I'm beginning to find myself eating and eating ... Like snacking throughout the day and not on healthy good choices. I do not understand why I am beginning to crave the sugar and pop again :( eating when I'm not hungry is starting to come back also :/ ... It's almost like I'm disappointed in myself or something :( I am a little over a year out and have lost about 138lbs and really starting to feel happy about my body. I do not want to gain the weight back but I seem to be at a loss on what to do to kick myself back into a good habits!

Any suggestions?

It almost feels like I have forgot what I need to be doing or something :(

Hi marie! Wow, you've done soooo good! I feel u, girl...im only 5 months out and have already started going back to my bad habits. Its too easy to eat junk:-( i wish i could offer better advice, but we just gotta do it. Are you Catholic? Today is the Ash Wednesday, so im using today as a symbolic start day to get back on track. I give u credit fot realizing ur starting to falll off track before things get outta hand. Im sure ur like me...u know what to do, but are having a hard time doing it, correct? I made an appt with my nut in the hopes she can help me get back on track. Good luck, and please let me know how you are doing!

Have you tried the Lap-Band forums? I'm guessing they can give really good advice. Lots of people in the bypass forum can't eat the junk or they will dump. That deters them. But I think you can eat anything so you need support by others like you.

      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.
