How to handle this...instead of gorging myself with food



Recommended Posts

Something happened (nothing big) but I get a pang of jealousy and in the past I've dealt with it by eating and 'feeling better'...

I can't do that now (I'm pre-op and trying to lose 10lbs) and I'm sitting here hangry lol

Seriously, what do you do? I realize it's a little irrational to be jealous over this issue but it's something I need to work on. I need to replace my bad habits with new ones...

Tweezing eyebrows? Drinking Water and walking?

I have so much work to do and am currently bogged down at the computer.

HELP!

Take a break and go walking, maybe do some deep breathing. You got this...no need to binge...you got this!!!

Well I didn't binge...I had some tea, changed my mind to focus on something else and tweezed my eyebrows a bit. Focused on playing with the baby.

I ate a tiny bit more at dinner, but that's it...

So still for the most part on plan!

      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.
