Yes I gained 5 lbs back recently and that really scared me! I NEVER want to go back to that lost lonely hole again! I keep thinking how horrible I felt 90 pounds ago! I started walking and really watching what I was putting in my mouth. Protein first - awareness of feelings and stuffing food! No more! Go back to basics. Remember where you were- what it took to get here today! You can do it! Good luck and keep me posted please!

I struggle with making good food choices everyday. I am 1 1/2 years out. I try to back to basics whenever I catch myself falling off the bandwagon. Also don't focus on ur slip ups, but instead on the good steps u are taking towards victory. That's what keep me focused and a good support group.

I think we all have to retrain the brain especially when it comes to our emotions! So sorry to hear of your losses. I hope things are better for you now. I don't know if journaling would combat comfort eating but it might be worth a try! It is suggested to exercise when feeling low but I have never done that! Hope you are well!

Can you get grief counseling at church or find a group? Do local hospitals have bariatric support groups? Or call a friend.

      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.
