I have to break-up with my lover!



Recommended Posts

:update:

Well I broke it off with food yesterday at 11:30 am. You'll be happy to know there were no tears shed;:Cry: it was just an "ok see you later" kind of thing. I left the hospital feeling a little overwhelmed as I had never in my life did something so life changing (Well except have a child, and get married.)

This journey is mine alone to take. Sure I have a lot support from friends and family who will assist me, but in the end it will be me making the choices to live better.

The only question I have is why does it feel like you get punched in the stomach everytime you breakup with someone? Let me tell you something when Food and I broke up it was like, "Ouch, you have got to be kidding me!"

Amy - glad everything went ok - ya that punch in the tummy felt like and elephant had kicked me - but the pain doesn't last forever...

Your (our) Lover named food aka devil - is a real jealous lover - be aware that he will come around an still try and tempt you back into your old love affair... Ya gotta keep your guard up 24/7 for the rest of your life... But the healthier you will be so happy without him hanging all over your body.^_^

Great post Cookie, You put the words so elegantly. I'm sure we ALL relate. I had a problem leaving my "cola's", but juice, crystal light and the cheap drink Water makes me feel so much better, especially my skin, etc. Kudo's to you. I'd still like to have food as a friend, but never again as my lover. LOL

      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.
