Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

So, in 600 pound life, they go to see a therapist when weight loss is stalled or going backwards and almost immediately , all issues are solved and they start losing weight again. The wonder of tv.

i have limited options as i live in a german speaking country and the one I met, was nice but had no idea of using food to stuff down feelings

Maybe my expectations are just too high..

Has anyone else successfully used a therapist or Bariatric coach?

any recommendations for people for Skype consultations please?

As a remote off chance, I will be in Bloomington MN for an extended period from April; anyone in that area?

Thank you for advice

Yes therapy is a great great great tool and should absolutely be used during this process, the magic of tv shortens the therapy down to a few minutes but in reality it can take sometime to figure out. I don't know of any sites for Germany but for the US your can use www.psychologytoday.com they have a therapist finder tool you just type in where you will be and what you are looking for and it will bring up a whole host of therapists for you to work with. I don't know the laws for doing international therapy clients via skype or phone but once you find someone they will more than likely be willing to look into the logistics of how it can or cant be done.

      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.
