Obsession with weight....



Recommended Posts

I'm sitting here thinking...will there ever come a time in my life that I am not obsessed with losing weight? A day that I don't think about being thin? A day I don't wish the weight would come off faster? A day I don't question if I'm doing something wrong because I'm not losing as fast as I think I should be? A day I can walk into any clothing store and pick something off the rack that actually fits and looks nice? Just thinking......

I do realistically believe that I will always worry about my weight. Instead of worrying about losing now, I worry about regain. Because we have lived in a world of obesity for so long that worry will always be there.

I do think once you get to goal (and yes you can and will!), the worry looks and feels much different. It is not that self loathing when you look in the mirror and think, geez I just keep getting bigger and I don't know what to do about it because you do!

I think everyone of us wished it would come off faster but it really doesn't work that way. Just know that if you stick to the plan, you will get there.

Lastly the answer is YES, you will be able to cut up that Lane Bryant card and shop anywhere you like!!!! I know because I can do it and what's even crazier, you will LOVE it!

Keep your goals right in front of you and you will be there before you know it. Just be patient. :)

      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.
