Almost 2 years - how is everyone doing?



Recommended Posts

I'm not going to lie - I have gained back weight and am struggling.

However, today is day 1 back at the gym. I have started reading a book called Crave about binge eating. I am trying to write down everything I am eating, how I feel before I eat it, while I eat it, and after I eat it, etc.

I have support group tonight and on July 26 & August 9 will be attending a workshop my surgery center is doing called "Back On Track" that will include 1 week of liquid diet and 1 week of modified liquid diet. I have gone back to some of my addictions, so I think this will really help.

I came back here for more support as well.

Hope everyone is doing well...

Kelly

Sounds like you know what you have to do:) Journaling is key. I'm about 14 months out, and have wrote everything I've ate since, even when I go overboard. Sometimes I will log in what I'm going to eat before I eat it. Makes me think about it a little more. Good luck to you:)

Super that your bariatric enter has that "Back on Track" program. Very cool idea.

That pretty much describes most of life, doesn't it ... on track and then back on track. :)

Hello! I haven't gained back any weight, but I seem to be a in very long stalling period.I am going to up my workouts and add some more Protein shakes to my diet. Will see what happens. Hopefully it will kick start the weight loss again.

      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.
