Stage 2 fears



Recommended Posts

I start stage 2 of my diet tomorrow. I get to add soft foods. I all of the sudden am scared. I'm so afraid I'm

Not going to make the right choices. That I am going to be tempted to cheat. That I'm going to fail. I had so many nightmares last night about loosing things that were important to me, or important to my job. My NUT is 4 hours away and I have another appointment with her next month.

My husband is being SUPER SUPPORTIVE. He is going to start eating what I eat starting tomorrow. I am just scared. Anyone else feel this way?

In some ways, yes! I'm not where you are yet ... but I am worried about harming my new stomach. I'm even reluctant to take some medicines because I have this idea that it is so delicate and wounded.

I have first follow up in 2 days, thank GOD. And I see my surgeon.

I think the people here know a lot! And the replies will help a lot, too.

You've come this far, so I bet you will be golden making it through the next phase. Bariatricfoodie.com was mentioned to people in another thread. I went there and it IS a fabulous site for help through these issues. =)

Here is my advice.....feeling scared in normal. First time I dumped was CRAZY scary.....but you will make it out the other side... I promise.

1) no wrong choices... remind yourself, you are just learning. And what happens if you make a wrong choice? 1) get sick - ok, that is manageable 2) the food goes down and you need to see how you feel after you eat = learning....

2) take a moment to show confidence. You have read the materials - you know the calorie targets. You have got this. Think of it like a puzzle... you have to just find the right solution for the puzzle.

3) don't be afraid to ask us for opinions. At soft food stage for me, I ate eggs, tuna and avocado ad Protein shakes. I definitely took my time adding in more foods. My food was set for like a full week.....Got tired of it but it worked. You will start to build up as you learn your sleeve likes and dislikes.

Thank you so much for that!! I do need to remember that I am learning and if I make mistakes I will learn! One mistake is not the end. But I am going to try my hardest to not make mistakes.
