Tomorrow when you wake up know it's a fresh start. Say no to all the garbage foods. Then lower your calorie count. You did it before...you CAN do it again. Find a positive mind set. Set small goals and work towards them. If the foods the family has is a problem ask them to be considerate and change a little. If that's not an option maybe go for a walk while they have dinner. You can and WILL do it.

Just because your husband buys you donuts and fries things doesn't mean you have to eat it.

Try going back to basics:

Follow your program.

Track your food.

Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.

Avoid starches, added sugars, fried foods.

Take your Vitamins and supplements as instructed.

And, exercise.

I suggest you make an appointment with your NUT to talk about your challenges and goals.

In addition, you may want to make an appointment with a counselor or therapist.

Until you get to talk with your Nutritionist, therapist, and Bariatric team, why not gather all of the "comfort foods" daily and donate them to the homeless?

After a week of doing this EVERY day, I think your family will get the hint: You are NOT going to eat that kind of food.

You are simply off track--mentally as well as physically. Go and get yourself some guidance. It can be done. I did it after a 4 year hiatus. I know that you can get back on track too. You just have to want to badly enough to do so.

You CAN do this.

Get mov'n! :)

Keep us posted as to your progress.

We care--really we do.

Prayers going up for you.

      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.
