Phase 1: 90 day diet. Why am I always hungry?



Recommended Posts

So I've had to do this 90 day diet before I can request prior authorization, and my nutritionist pretty much put me on what she says "Phase 1" to what eating is going to be like.

No sugar

no starches

no soda

Trying to put my fork down after every bite and waiting before I eat

Chewing longer.

Smaller Bites

Don't drink while I eat. Wait an hour.

Among some of the stuff in working on.

I've even tried the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shake the nutritionist gave me, and I'm still hungry.

BTW the strawberry sorbet was really, blah. I have a vanilla one to try out still, well see. I've looked into Isopure Zero Carb Protein shakes, too, not too sure. I just wish, drinking the shake would make me feel full. But it doesn't, I'm still hungry. And I just feel worried.

I know this is all what lies ahead. But eating sucks right now. I feel like food is no longer enjoyable. I'm hungry all the time. I crave sugar more. I feel so guilty for wanting to eat junk. I want to succeed. But I feel like I'm going to fail.

Why is it so hard to eat less and make healthier choices?! Why do I find it so hard to be in the same house as Donuts!?

I feel so pathetic. Is it bad that I want dumping syndrome. So that I am less likely to eat that garbage. So I'll regret it and pay for it if I ever decide to eat what I'm not supposed to.

I know that my thinking is all messed up right now. But I see it as......

Have you ever had too much of that one liquor that just made you puke your guts out and traumatized you from ever drinking it again? (Bacardi Limón, NEVER AGAIN )

Well if only sugar could do that to me. Make me sick enough to hate it. That would be fantastic!

Is there anyone who can relate?

I haven't told anyone but my mom and 3 friends about surgery, but they aren't really supportive, after hearing surgery horror stories. I feel alone in this.

I'm so scared that I'll get the sleeve and still want to eat like this. And that I'll just gain it all back. That I'm gonna fail.

During my 6 month diet required by my insurance, I ate 5-6 times a day. I was never hungry and drank at least 64 oz of Water. I drank one Protein shake a day at the most,

Breakfast: 7 am 1 hard boiled egg and a piece of string cheese

snack: 9 am 2 turkey sausages (like a slim jim)

Lunch: 12 pm 3-4 oz chicken breast, salad with a little vinegar and oil

snack: Protein Shake or no sugar applesauce

Dinner: Turkey Chili and a non starchy Vegetable.

snack: sugar free Jello.

I mixed up my Proteins to add different flavors. swithed it up, walked everyday and I lost 30 lbs before surgery and the surgery wasn't bad at all. I only felt bad for a couple of days.

      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.
