How long til your brain "clicked"?



Recommended Posts

I am so proud of you for seeking therapy. I believe that it, like the band is one of the tools for success. It is essential for those of us that have underlying issues. Don't give up. It will happen if you continue to do the work.

Clicking brains are over-rated! :)

It is important for you to find what works for you, and putting this thread out there for us all to respond with our different methods is great so you can get many viewpoints to try. Therapy to address the underlying reasons for your sabotage is commendable, as well. Good for you! As long as you don't give up, you are on the right track! All our bodies will respond differently to different methods, so keep trying different things. Just remember that four to six weeks is a true trial period for anyones' body. As much as we all would love overnight results, that just isn't reality. I'm rooting for you, girl! Keep posting and you will always have us behind you, rooting you on!

Hi Ang. I, like you, am still waiting for the click. I keep thinking (hoping?) it will come with proper restriction. Because my husband is taking a new job and we are moving there is currently more chaos in my life. I don't know if this is reason or excuse. I'm doing better than before banding but keep losing and gaining the same 3 lbs. I feel it will come but it is frustrating. I did best in the past when I was losing for a reason....and the last time it was for a move.:) Oh well.

Ang, you are not alone. I think there are quite a few people who struggle from time to time. I believe you will succeed because you are not giving up. If we were all great at losing weight without struggles we would not be here.:thumbup:

      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.
