Hellokitty19984 27 Posted July 15, 2018 I feel like I'm messing up my diet. I eat small amounts, except several times a day.. I'm only going on week 6 and eating things idk if I should be. I'm sick of just drinking Water. I drink other stuff once in awhile.. still not carbonated tho.. idk I feel like I'm failing myself. Also I'm stuck at 210 and can't get past it Im worried about getting rid of any of my clothes that no longer fit because what if I fully fail and gain back the weight I cant seem to get past the brain hunger 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,430 Posted July 15, 2018 Can you find your instructions from surgery and locate what level or stage of eating you are on? Stick as close to that as possible and the weight will fall off... PromiseBut you have to do the work...VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169 2 Frustr8 and Jingle123423 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sosewsue61 3,185 Posted July 15, 2018 Drinking what other stuff? Anything with sugar in it, or juice is going to cause cravings for carbs, and then more cravings or more bad choices. You are not very far out from surgery and still healing, have inflammation, and in the learning phase of eating. Follow your surgeon's food plan. As far as head hunger - you might want therapy or at least to do some reading on emotional eating - you have to find other ways to cope with things without resorting to food. It sucks, but that is what we have to do. Get rid of the clothes, you are NOT going back, don't look back! Celebrate and embrace the new you all along the way, take care of you, pamper yourself - you just had major surgery, and did a brave, hard thing - enjoy it! Go to resale shops and get some 'new' clothes that fit, get a pedicure, etc... The best is right in front of you.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellokitty19984 27 Posted July 15, 2018 Well I just had a busy filled weekend with my family.. lots of moving.. and now everyone has left and it's time to settle.. weighed myself and I lost 7 lbs over the weekend. So that helps.. just was stuck at 210 for Abt 2 weeks and was losing faith... I do need to get rid of the clothes but still feeling I need them, I did get rid of some pants that were too big even before surgery. But scared now lol.. I need to wake up and get on track. And head hunger is just me getting bored and thinking I need to eat. When I know I'm don't need too.. it used to be my go to Now i drink sugar free teas and stuff like that. If I'm up and doing a bunch of stuff, like the other day I helped my sister in her barn I drank Powerade. I do drink propel but there's only so much of that u can drink Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TakingABreak 2,733 Posted July 15, 2018 As long as it’s SF and calorie free, there’s nothing wrong with other things to drink besides Water. I actually can’t drink straight water, makes me nauseous since surgery. I drink a variety of teas, crystal light, water additives, ect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
