Why do I do this to myself?



Recommended Posts

I am almost three years out. Everything has been incredibly successful for me. I Lost 118 pounds, even had plastics. However, here I am starting to repeat the same things that got me to 275lbs. I was 157 and now 180. I cannot seem to stop and focus and get back on track. Any tips, advice or strong reality checks are all welcome =(

Okay, since you lost over 100 pounds you know HOW to do this, but "flicking the switch" back to the ON position is hard. Here are a couple of sites that people on this forum have posted. I haven't tried them myself, so do your research, but they have helped other get/stay on track.

And here's a general bariatric surgery site with lots of tips you may have forgotten over the years.

And start going to a bariatric support group. They're not there to judge you, they are there to help each other.

Good luck, you can do this!!!!!

It was a great visit. He took out 1cc and I can feel the diff already. He thinks the marriage issues I'm having is contributing to my reflux and weight gain

For those struggling to get back on track.... Last night my doctor came to our support group to answer any questions his patients might have. When asked how to get back on track, he gave three suggestions:
1. Call my office.
2. Call my office.
3. Call my office.
So there you go.... Call your doctor's office.

Good luck!

      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.
