Overeating at Christmas



Recommended Posts

I've had too many chocolates and biscuits and feeling v depressed. So scared I won't get back on track. Haven't done anything like this since my band was fitted nearly 5 months ago. I don't have any Fluid in my band yet and a friend said she has to have hers q tight so she can't do this.

Feeling like I need support - felt so depressed this morning with sugar hangover!

This is my first post and first time on forum.

I have the sleeve, but I feel your pain. It's a new day, start it right and resolve to stick to your path.

I'm a bander nine months out and I had a 3-5 pound gain over Christmas. I haven't lost weight in two months. I felt like you do but talked it out with a few people, and the last three days have been good and the weight has come back off. Don't despair. We are human. The beauty of the band is that it makes it easier to get back on track. Focus on solid Protein and no starchy foods and no drinking calories. You'll find that if you just focus on one day at a time you can get back to good habits. Good luck!

I do eat carbs but I lose better when it's only Protein and veggies.

Don't let one mishap throw you off your path! And anyway, its Christmas! ????

I indulged a tad too but I exercise like a fiend. Do you find your tummy can't handle certain rich foods? That's been a great deterrent for me. When I desperately need something sweet and fruit won't do it I will munch on about a serving of dark chocolate-sea salt almonds. But I prefer Swiss Miss Diet Cocoa that I doctor up with a tbsp of cocoa powder and Splenda. I use either soy milk or Lactaid, 1% or non-fat.

Google Eggface. Great stuff there.

      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.
