Hazy pre op focus

[Familyte 3]

Hi everyone. I'm into my 2nd month of the 6 medically supervised weight loss program required for me to have the surgery. I lost 3 lbs last month and my nutritionist was happy with that. I'm feeling in a haze however this month finding it hard to focus on logging my meals, working out or just engaging for this process at all. It's like this little voice in the back of my consciousness throwing up road blocks and sending messages that I can't quite understand. Has anyone else experienced this? I think I'm self sabotaging myself. What is this about??

It is funny how our brains work(head games). They really want us to have our bad habits. I understand. Try to stay focused and motivated, this site and others you may have will help. I just started my pre-op liquid diet today. You will get there, hard work but it pays off! Fitness pal is a great app for listing what your eating! Can also put exercise in to see the calories you are burning! Best wishes and you can do this!

I had months like that too, but it's totally fixable! I'm thru with my 6 months, but I only logged about half the time. Instead of saying I have to eat super perfect AND log, I just said "no matter what I eat, I'm going to write it down". Because the habit of tracking is going to be essential post op to maximize weight loss with the sleeve. I think of it as being nice to my post op self by developing as many good habits now that I won't have to struggle with while I'm weak and hungry and dealing with so many other changes. Set "future you" up for success and use My Fitness Pal every time you take a bite. I'm on a 70 day login streak with MFP and I feel really good about it! And trust me, I had a couple 4,000-5,000 calorie days. Better to acknowledge and move on.
