Made an over-hungry bad decision



Recommended Posts

One week post op- went to a client site today where I sipped Isopure all day. Client brought in lunch- I sipped my Isopure. Meeting ended 2 hours late, got stuck in traffic, went way too long without my broth, got home, was warming up my broth and my son had a leftover cookie on the counter and I took a fairly big bite, chewed it up and swallowed it, then thought, "Oh crap, I'm an idiot." Please tell me I'm not the only one that does something this stupid? I don't think I'll make this mistake again- my tummy is not happy.

I can't imagine you are the only one to slip. At least now you are aware that you are at risk to mindlessly eat something and will be better prepared next time. This whole thing is a learning process.

That's what I'm hoping for- that I'm not the only one. Maybe I had a bigger problem with mindless eating than I ever thought? Guess that is why they call it mindless.

Seriously 1 bite won't kill you. I'm 1 month post Op and had 100's of cravings and I'm not going to lie I did take a bite here and there, sometimes maybe you have to take a bite to realize you don't want it. I mean really, you didn't sit down and eat the whole thing. You'll be fine.

Oh my gosh I did the same thing today took a bite of some fish because I miss chewing thinking I was going to spit it out and it was so good and soft I swallowed it and felt so bad

Slip ups are hard. I know I specially have problems when cooking for my family, when I'm cooking it's hard not to taste it, not so much cuz I wanna eat it but I do wanna know how it tastes before I give it to my kiddos.

Cravings...1 week out post-op and I feel like I'm starving? Any one else?

I have a lot of cravings- I'm not starving necessarily, but when I smell dinner, I just want so much to have a bite. I'm doing good, but there's an emotional aspect to it I wasn't expecting.

I remember wanting to eat something that smelled good, but physical urge to eat at that point was excess stomach acid. Being careful about taking my acid inhibitor helped that a lot.

      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.
