OMG I finally had that moment



Recommended Posts

I dont post much but by gosh I read alot and its been helpful to know that everyone goes through their moments. I feel like Im kinda stuck where Im at, and not sure how to push past it. But I finally had one of those moments that was like WOW.... people have of course noticed and I always say thank you, but I had to recently pull out the winter jeans and I of course go through to start trying on what I can and cant wear, I have a whole new wardrobe of clothing that fits!!!! Woooo hooo jeans I havent had on my fat butt in 6+ years are now fitting perfectly if a little snug or a little loose depending on the style. Sweaters and Sweatshirts that people bought for me or I bought that never fit right or fit only once as I was climbing the scale on upward mobility. Now.... I have rubbermaid containers full of clothes that are too big and that Im scared to give away because I want to make sure that I am not going to climb the scale upward. :whoo::whoo::whoo:.

My stuck part is that I have been at the same weight for a month now, not really seeing anything move, I know part of it is what Im eating as there are times I fee soooooooo tight that once I start the regurgitation process Im like that all day, and then by the next day Im back to normal. Im hoping someone knows what Im talkin about and can help me with some advice to get past it. It always starts in the morning and if I eat the wrong thing I get the bowling ball in the throat, then I spend the morning tossing it back up, and then I cant keep anything down all day. I get to sleep that night, and start fresh the next morning. :help::help: Me

Hi tekila,

Luv the smilies!...lol.

What are you eating in the morning? I have had those bouts of PB'ing to the point where it throws off my whole day and I feel terrible.

There are certain foods that just do not agree with me now. Can you zero in those foods?

I usually start with thin oatmeal in the morning when my stomach is queezy and stick with the protien drinks til I feel better again.

Also in the AM I find I am tighter and bread or anything dry is absolutely out of the question.

Congrasts on your weight loss. We are about the same level in our journey.

Try yogurt or runny oatmeal, or if you like cottage cheese (for protein) or some other mushy type food in the morning. Many of us find that we're much tighter in the morning, and then loosen up throughout the day. Warm liquids can help loosen you up as well.

Good luck!

      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.
