Trouble getting back on track



Recommended Posts

Question...anyone else having a hard time getting back to eating and exercising after the holidays...I had my first fill on 11/15...only a .5cc...I don't have any restriction at all so I can eat anything I want as long as I chew carefully...I'm at the point where I'm eating a whole plate of food ... meaning more than 4oz and then some including snacking. I'm having hard time getting back to eating smaller portions and exercising. I've gained 2lbs back. I have an appointment middle of Dec. for a second fill, but I'm not sure that I can wait for my willpower to kick in again.

My next appt is 12/18, but I don't know if he will do a fill or if it is just a fill...I'm hoping a fill, but the last time we had to do flouro so I don't know if he will try again without...which means that would be another appt

      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.
