Stalls and stress! Advice?



Recommended Posts

So I feel like lately Ive been struggling. I Had a stall for awhile but now the past wk Ivebeen eating worse an I know its slowk ng me down. Today I had 3 graham crackers and then for lunch I had a taco just beef,meat and cheese with half the shell off and then most of a fruit cup. Then I had a chicken leg with 1/2 a slice bread and butter and a few bites of potato. For a snack will be milk but anyway I just started losing again and then I mess it up! I feel over whelmed lately and don't know what to do. Im worried with myself mentally and physically :/Stallone struggling advice? Btw not 3 whole grahams like the 1/2s and I have had 6 cups of liquid but I know I'm lacking Protein a lot lately. Which scares me the most

Stop eating carbs.....period. graham crackers (even one bite), bread, taco shells, and potatoes shouldn't even be on your menu until you are passed goal. The fruit is a better choice but only after you've already gotten in all your Protein. More Protein. More fluids. It's a very simple recipe for success. You will feel full sooner and longer with protein.

If you are having a hard time knowing what the right kinds of food are, seek the help of your nut. If you know what the right choices are but are struggling to make them, seek the help of a therapist or counselor. your surgeon "fixed" your stomach. But you wouldn't be the first person who needs help fixing their head, too. And unfortunately that is the harder of the two.

Slow down, take a breath, and take care of yourself.

Do you have a therapist? Have you attended any support groups?

I find that exercise is a good stress reliever. So is getting a massage.

      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.
