My husband is away and my eating is so much better!



Recommended Posts

I'm alone with my kids for a few days. I just tracked my calories for the day and i realize I am eating so much less without him around! Actually too low for today but I'll just add a Protein snack later. I suffer from being influenced by other people's eating choices. This was an eye opener. Anyone else?

I have that issue also. I live away from everyone and alone, so that makes it easy to make the right choices. I really feel for people with families. I don't think I would have the will power.

It's a major concern for me. I'm 8 weeks out and doing fine but the struggle is real. I lost all my weight with the band living alone and gained it back living with my husband. I don't blame him. There were many reasons for the regain but it sure is easier living alone! The kids food doesn't tempt me.

@@Bndtoslv Great topic.
My husband loved an eating buddy and that's what we "used" to be.

Now I stick to my program. While we still eat out often as he loves to do, it is getting easier finding acceptable things to eat with out going off my plan. And the biggest surprise of all, he is actually making better choices for himself now.

      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.
