Confession at 16 weeks



Recommended Posts

I cheated hard core this weekend. I have lost 50 lbs In the past 16 weeks & it's been a journey of ups & downs & it will be for the rest of my life. So this is not a cry for help or advice just a confession.

I inhaled ever carb in sight this weekend. Today I ingested A total of 1300 calories, 150gms of carbs & only 40 Gms of Protein. I didn't usual 10000 steps. I am back on the wagon tomorrow but what a fall.

What made you do that? That scares me! You woke up the carb beast. Glad you're getting right back on the wagon.

Aw...mess ups happen. Great job getting back on track quickly. Be aware of carb cravings over the next couple days til that crap is back out of your system.

I've done that, too. In fact, this weekend has been like that for me. Every time I focus on building the "getting back on my horse" skill/ habit. We can all get back on track when we stop judging the slips and move on. My NUT said slips WILL happen; it's all about the response to them. [emoji173]️

I'm scared because I'm craving at a week out. I have no intention of acting on the feeling but it's disconcerting. I struggle with what head hunger is and what it feels like. I can't tell. When you ate the carbs did you feel restriction? 1300 calories doesn't sound too hog wild. Not when we could eat 2000 in one sitting.
One thing I'm impressed with is you logged your food. No head burying.

I absolutely felt the restriction...I ate about 8 times instead of my usual 3 & that's what racks up calories. I didn't plan ahead of time so I was hungry & the memorial day Beach picnic spread was available ...I chose carbs.
I did complete my 10000 steps though which included a 3 mile walk on the beach.

Absolutely had to make a conscious decision to log everything in so I could see the pattern learn from it and try not to repeat it my fitness pal has surely been a great tool to help me learn my patterns. I didn't want to log in yesterday but I did it and I learned it was the frequency of eating.

Great! That's really being accountable. Doesn't sound as if you went off the rails. I bet it feels good to be back in control today. Many of my poor choices in the past were me not planning and preparing. Thanks for sharing this. I'll remember it down the road.

      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.
