I had a plan and I stuck to it! Food does not control me



Recommended Posts

Today is the first day I actually know exactly what I took in. I set alarms to remind me when to eat and drink, I counted and recorded my calories and Protein. Ya'll just don't know how huge that is for me I made a plan and I stuck to it drank my Water, boiled some eggs, went to the gym, carried a lunch bag that contained my Protein shakes, Jerky, turkey sticks, string cheese, ect. Enjoyed a veggie burger with lettuce & Tomato for dinner. I did not get hungry between meals and I did not eat anything that I didn't plan to. This is my life I'm accountable and I'm finally taking control.

Glad to here that. I am all over the place. The full liquid is difficult. I am not sure what to eat. So I ache been eat cream of chicken and black bean Soup. I take my Vitamins three hours apart. I'm luck if I get 16 ounces of Water. I really don't know to do about the puréed week.

during my liquid phase I drank broth, cream of chicken soup, tea, flavored water Jello, as I could tolerate a little more I added cream of wheat. It know feels like a lot right but you have to get more liquid in so you don't get dehydrated and end back up in the hospital. I'm almost 12 weeks out and just getting it together again. Good luck with your continued progress.

It varies but for the most part every couple of hours alternating between food and fluids... for example i get up at 6am I have 8 oz of Water to re-hydrate from sleeping, 7am breakfast(usually 1 boiled egg or scrambled), 9am (water, tea, or shake), 11am , 1pm , 3p, 5p, 7p after 7 I don't have anymore food or Snacks just fluids

      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.
