I'm so frustrated! [emoji30]



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 10-17-13. Still haven't reached my weight loss goal. I got down to 192. That's it. I've gained 40lbs back and am now at 226.

I can not get my behavior right. Drinking Water is like torture. I'm most likely dehydrated and exhausted.

@@Capricornrose You still have a wonderful tool that you can work with, and I think because you were honest that you're having trouble with the behavior part, you've already taken a big step to getting back on track, unlike so many who are in denial.

I'm sure you already know what you need to do but here's a reminder: Perhaps visit a NUT, ask him/her some getting back on track hints, keep a journal of every bite you eat (if you aren't already) so you can see your daily calorie/carbs, focus on Protein and yes yes, keep drinking your Water, and if you can't hit the gym every day, can always take a brief walk to get things going again.

I wish you the best luck on your continued journey!

What helps me with Water is the Zepherhills sport bottles......it's something about the squeeze bottles that makes drinking Water more "fun"...haha I also flavor my water with MIO drops. I like the lemonade best. Good luck to you.....you're doing good by just recognizing you need to do something different.....you'll get there.

      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.
