Need some support even for years out. In Triangle area preferably



Recommended Posts

I am four years out from surgery and had initially lost 130lbs. Kept loosing until 2 years ago when I met my boyfriend. I then gained 40lbs back and have managed to loose 16lbs and have had a hard time getting back on track. I need someone to vent to, share ideas, and frustrations. Overall support from someone who understands the frustration of this journey.

I'm not as far out as you. I do catch myself getting complacent/comfortable and not working as hard at myself as I should. Congrats on loosing 16 on your own! I am trying to shake myself into motivation again. Send me a private message if you ever need to talk.

I am not in the Triangle area yet, but hope to be by the end of this year. Our house is on the market. I'm 9 months post-op, but I was in a stall for a month and realized I probably was eating too many carbs...funny how they sneak back in. So I have been doing mostly all Protein this week and have already dropped 2 1/2 pounds. It was hard to go back to being so strict, but worth it to see the scale move. I seriously have to ask myself daily, do you want that food (usually something sugary) or do you want to fit into smaller clothes and be healthy. It's hard, I knew it would be, but it's been totally worth it. If you would like to talk you can email me emmalou323@yahoo.com.

We all are so very sacred of gaining the weight back and we have to always work harder than the next person. I am always watching and praying that I never have to see large size clothes again . I hate being fat and looking big. I love not having to ask if they have My size. Yes we all will fall but just don't stay down.

      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.
