i am staying on plan today because ...



Recommended Posts

I'm a yoyo dieter. I've lost 100 pds three times in my life and got down to goal each time which is 125 (weight watchers, Atkins and phen fen-which I got a heart problem from). I can stay on track until some bad happens in my life then I don't care anymore and I gain all the weight back. I'm wondering if they will happen with the lap band. Will I get to a point where I don't care anymore and just eat high calorie foods? Does this band ONLY help with Portion Control? Donuts, Cookies and cakes take up very little room but are so calorie packed. Once I can get that question answered I'm going to make the lap band decision. I would LOVE for anyone and everyone to help shed some light on that for me.

thanks so much!:confused2:

I'm staying on plan today because I have lost and gained the same darn 6 lbs for the last six weeks.:) I feel so great for loosing some of my weight but at the same time am very frustrated at my slowness. I think I need to commit to exersize, I am commited to my diet, so now if I incorperate movement it has just got to work. I promise to use the treadmill for a full 30 minutes after work tonight:scared2:.

I'm staying on plan today because every day I wake up wanting to eat crap (chips, cake, pizza, etc) and if I gave into it I'd weigh 340 lbs again

I'm sure it's just that the nasty virus you had got your body out of whack or something. I'll bet it falls off really soon. Glad you are feeling better.

Probably just a little dehydration. You'll be back to normal in no time :biggrin:

      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.
