What rule(s) do you let yourself break?



Recommended Posts

Well, to be honest, there isn't a rule I haven't broken bc the surgery was done on my stomach not my brain. That being said, I'm REALLY trying to control my mistakes. I'm not perfect and I don't beat myself up anymore. I just improve my habits daily.

Yesterday I ate

Weight watchers Protein chicken Pasta for Breakfast

an Asian salad w/chicken for lunch

Fig newton and a Krispy Kreme donut for snack (please don't judge me. I had a weak moment and I know it).

Piece of pita bread with caramelized onions for dinner

I don't drink enough Water (I'm working on that) but I drink 2 cups of coffee a day.

I am 4 months out. I have been drinking with a straw since about 4 weeks, I won't get my Fluid without using a straw.

I frequently drink right up until I eat. I will have a small sip or two during a meal if I need to due to dryness or spicyness.

The other day I was way behind on both Protein and Fluid. I ate a ham/provolone roll up and drank right away. I figured getting in the Protein and fluid was more important.

I did have most of a pralines and cream ice cream in a pretzel cone while on vacation in mid-May. I ate most of it.

I will have 2 bites of hubby's ice cream about every 2 weeks. I will steal a french fry or a 1/4 of a mozzarella stick from his plate.

If we go out I will get an unsweetened iced tea and have them Water it down. It is frequently the only no carb non carbonated drink and I don't like plain Water even if they add lemon. I figure the amount of caffeine in a 1/4 of a watered down iced tea is pretty negligible.

      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.
