Trying to get back on track



Recommended Posts

Was sleeved March 30th. I did great at first. I started at 265, weighed 258 at surgery. I'm at 215 and actually gaining. I'm having trouble avoiding all the foods I shouldn't eat because they are all over my kitchen and pantry. I know that's no excuse. Just today I started writing down what I'm eating again. I'm making it to the gym about 3 times a week. The problem is, I was eating almost normally again. Small amounts, sure, but normally. My hubby was in the hospital all of July, and when he came home, he needed lots of care. Sounds like an excuse, but I was so focused on him, I just ate small amounts and didn't worry about what.

Now I have to reboot. I'm disappointed in myself. I know what I need to do, but it's harder now.

But today has been a success!

I'm doing this one meal at a time.

Ouch !!!
I made the Sleeve Surgery in September...
I believe if I don't stop myself from eating random foods I'll follow your steps...
Thanks for the notes you wrote... made me realize what I might face...
Wish you all the best... it is annoying NOT to eat what we like especially if we have it between our hands...
You did good now... changed your faily habits, went to the Gym... keep on
I advise you, if you nake your family eat healthy and make effect on what's available in your house (food) it will help you and your family a lot.
You have all my support, please keep us updated.

My family includes my hubby, who weighs 126 and NEEDS to eat right now. Anything he can. My mom, who is a junk food queen, and my hubby's cousin, who is a vegan who Snacks all the time! I'm buying a refrigerator for my office so I can avoid the one in the kitchen, I decided while on the treadmill. I'm working on this! I am.

Getting a separate fridge is a great idea.
I hear you about having food around. I went to natural grocers today to get some healthy Snacks because I just want to graze! I'm realizing how much of my eating is boredom and stress.
I'm only 8 weeks out and I know I can't let myself go down the slippery slope.

      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.
