Hi, I've lurked on this site a lot and I do need some positivity to push me through, 3 more monthly weigh-ins until they submit to insurance! I've done all the appointments, now just have to wait out the 3 long months.

Do any of you have any dieting tips? I'm a binge eater, but I've been in therapy since February 2011. I get mad urges at night as I'm a night owl. But I'm resisting. More and more I can feel myself more lighter than usual. I'd say that's a plus! I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

I have trouble with binge eating also. The only thing that helps me is keeping my hands busy. In the past i would paint or draw, crochet or knit. Trying to get back into that but Netflix...soooo...yeah lol. It's rough but now, the biggest motivator for me is when i try on clothes and am actually down a size. Omg what a high. I usually get back on track if I've been bad or stay on track and go harder. I highly recommend it if you're feeling down and need motivation. Or just try on old clothes to see if they are looser. If all else fails chug Water lol. I used to do that and then go to sleep lol. Id have to pee something fierce when i woke up but i didn't eat 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.
