Fell off the Wagon - Need support and advice to get back to it



Recommended Posts

Hi there...So I've fallen off the wagon. My weight loss stagnated and I gave up. I lost my grandfather, my aunt and my cousin all within 3 month time frame and I stopped going to appointments because I felt like I wasn't losing weight and I'm still feeling full for 4-6 hours after each meal. I've made some bad eating decision choices and I know why it hasn't been successful. I want to try and get back on, I have it in me, I need to be better. Has anyone else fallen off the wagon? I'm scared to get back on to fail again.

I haven't lost in 3 months due to some poor choices. I went back to my doctor and he was like No Biggie! Gave me a fill. Go back to your doctor and see what they say. The beauty with the band is you can do that!

I agree that you should go see your lap band doctor. It is NOT failure until you quit trying. We all have life situations and bumps in the road. Find your green zone and stay positive.

I also fell off and gained 20 pounds. I lost my mom in March and kind of ate everything in sight. Then I did some soul search it and decided I did not want to return to where I started so I am on My Fitness Pal again and logging in everything. If I'm held accountable I do much better. You can do it too!

      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.
