Why am I constantly feeling like I am doing everything wrong? I feel like I am taking to many sips or eating one slice of cheese to fast. Ugh!!!!

I believe you need to relax. Trust yourself and your journey, Miss Connecticut :). Vigilance is a necessity, but obsessiveness is strength zapping.

I put the word "RELAX" on my mirror in my bedroom. On the fridge I have the word "TRUST". Those are just for me. No one needs to know what they mean. My small gift to myself.

You got this----you know it!!!

You are being mindful of your eating and want to eat correctly.

I would say you are doing it right.

Keep up the great work.

I am having a hard time taking a half hour to eat my food. I am on 1/4 of a cup and I only eat a couple of bites an I am done.

That will change so hang in there. As you heal you will be able to eat more. Focus on quality and not quantity. Measure your food but don't stress if you cannot finish it all. Relax and breathe. You've got this!

      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.
