PLEASE HELP!! I am a huge CHEATER!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have a question about fills. Why do we have to do liquids for a while after the fill. I had my last fill, and I did liquids that night and part of the next day, but then I forgot and ate solids. I am hoping that I didn't do some damage to my band, because I really have lost much, and what I did lose, I gained back. Also, as long as I am being honest, I usually set my pop out at night so it will go flat, and the last couple days I have been drinking it right out of the bottle. Still fizzing. HELP!!!!!!

I am going right back to the things that I did before!!

Hi Michelle,

I seem to be in the same boat. I have not lost any weight for at least a month. I cheat all the time and seem to get away without gaining any weight.

I really want to get down to my goal, so have recommitted myself.

Frankly I have not found this that easy, as it really does require dieting. I still feel I am in the cycle of dieting or binging allthough the binges are small and don't cause weight gain.

Anyway, I am recommitting myself to not cheating and excercising.

The reason to go back to liquids after a fill are similar to the reasons we do liquids after surgery. First - you want to take it slow because you never know how restricted you will be, and you don't want to get something stuck. Second - the adjustment will cause some swelling in your stoma, and you want to let that heal before you go back to solids. You can do it! Remember doing liquids for weeks before and after surgery? This is just a few days!!

And you want help on your cheating? What kind of help? If you want comfort and compassion - here goes....

Don't worry! Everyone falls off the wagon from time to time. Hey - you've already lost over 30 lbs! That's fantastic!!

If you wanted gentle accountability....

Well, having pop in the house is probably just a temptation that you should avoid right now. I'd pour that down the sink and get some Crystal Light in your cupboard! Get back on the wagon girlfriend!

If you wanted to be ruthlessly scolded....

Shame on you!! Did you go through all of this just to let your choices sabotage you? The band is tool - but you have to use it. Stay motivated! Get a support network! Go to the gym! Throw away all food and drink in your house that is not part of your plan!

(hope one of the 3 above was what you needed today) LOL! Hang in there....

OK!!!! I am back on!! I am getting another fill on Monday. And even though I have a chicken dinner fund raiser on Tuesday, it is JUST food. There will be more of it. At another time, not right after a fill.

I didn't go through a surgery just to give up. I can and WILL do this. I will go buy the foods that are right for me, and get rid of those that aren't. (As much as I can without my DH and kids killing me!)

Thank you ladies!!

      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?

      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.
