@@kranky813 - you are worthless and weak. You don't deserve that sleeve, you are unworththy of it ;-) Geez come on, you are a FUB (fallible human being). You had a moment when you went back to old scripts/tapes/DVR recordings and paid the price. You learned anew there is a new reality. That's what this tool does. Be thankful. It's like bumpers at the bowling alley...you could say its cheating, but gutter balls don't help you get better either.

I agree with having "safe" fast food options as a last resort (I like the grilled chicken wrap sans ranch dressing and tortilla from McD's or a small chili from Wendy's) or emergency food in your desk/purse/glovebox. That helps a lot.

But it's ok to mess up every once in a while. None of us are perfect as much as we may try to be. Try to remember how that burger made you feel, learn from it, forgive yourself and move on.

I keep a Protein bar and almonds in my purse at all times in case of emergencies because eating every 3 hours is a lot of work and planning. I think another good option at McD's if your stuck is now that they have Breakfast all day get the egg Mcmuffin and take one of the bread pieces off. Or even the oatmeal wouldn't be bad. This is a never ending journey. We all make mistakes. Now you have lot's of great tips.

I THINK WE JUST FORGET SOMETIMES. I KNOW I HAVE NEVER LEARNED TO EAT SLOWLY. BUT I MADE ONE MISTAKE WITH PORK TENDERLOIN EARLY ON. I WAS VERY HUNGRY LIKE YOU DESCRIBED, DIDN'T TAKE MY TIME, DIDN'T CHEW LIKE I SHOULD, AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE. ANYWAY, I STILL HAVE TO DO FAST food A COUPLE TIMES A WEEK. BUT I DO NOT EAT THE BUN! I JUST EAT THE meat AND cheese, OR TACO BELL TACO salad WITHOUT THE TORTILLA STRIPS OR RICE, CHILI AT WENDY'S, THERE ARE THINGS YOU CAN EAT EVERYWHERE WHEN IN A PINCH. IT HAS NOT AFFECTED MY WEIGHT LOSS AT ALL THAT I CAN TELL. JUST TOSS THE BUN OUT THE WINDOW OR GIVE IT TO YOUR PUP LOL.

      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.
