Self sabotage



Recommended Posts

Ok Tomorrow is the day. Two weeks on liquids. What's the worst that could happen, is what I keep asking myself.

I have never followed the program completely and I'm admitting it to help myself and others. Not only have I not followed this program completely I've never followed anything by the rules. I am also going to start seeing a psychologist because I self sabotage everything.

I have never admitted this either. But I have had so many things happen lately that have back fired that it's time to change. No excuses. I'm going to keep a journal and track everything.

If anyone has had any success with starting over let me know. Thank you.

First I want to say good luck with your surgery today! I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I also want to say that you are brave for both recognizing and admitting that you struggle to follow the plan. This surgery will definately test you and it is a very good idea that you see someone to help you stay on track.

The toughest part of life after WLS is the head games. I have a lot of will power, seriously my husband is always reminding me of my stubbornness. When I set my mind to something I get it done.

There are times during the last 2 years that have tested my resolve and most of the time I win. There are times however that I stumble and when I do I am very hard on myself because of it.

My advice would be to seek that advice, you are worth it! Having WLS really is all about changing your life for the better, the surgery just helps you to do that by limiting the quantity of food.

you still have to drive. You have to eat a well balanced, high Protein diet. You still control how often you eat. Many fail because they think the surgery will automatically cause you to lose weight and it will for a very short while. Believe me, that window is really short so leverage that time to change your habits.

Continue to hold yourself accountable as you did here. If you do that, you will be successful.

YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Good luck today!

      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.
