need help starting to stray from diet :(



Recommended Posts

I have been on a low cal diet since march 1st and lost about 21-23 lbs. For the past two weeks im starting to stray away from it once i lost the amount of weight my doc said i had to lose to submit for the insurance.

Right now just waiting for the insurance to say okay and to set a date. But I feel depressed that im starting to eat bad food again. I know i should not... but some how i ignore it.

Like i do well all day.... drink my slim fast , eat about 500 carb low carb meal around 830-900 pm est . Once i get home around 1230am est from work i get retarded. I'm also feeling hungery all the time now.

Can anyone please give me some adivice or words of wisdom. I did so well before... why am i faling now? Its making me pretty depressed... but i keep putting the food in.

well i guess not often.... for lunch around 830 pm est I eat 500 calories.

If im short on time ( which is very often ) I just grab a lean cusin and maybe a fruit. But those meals have little chicken in them.

I do have the slim fast 4 times a day with eaither 10g of Protein or 15g.

and thats all i have all day... 1 500 cal meal ( which sometimes is not even 500 cal ) and about 4 slimfast

I just found an awesome Protein bar yesterday. It is by Snickers and has 20 grams of Protein. I am not usually a Protein Bar person because they taste gritty, but this one didn't. It was a fudge bar and didn't have many calories or fat either. I was quite impressed. Maybe you could try eating one of those instead of a heavy meal. It held me over pretty good.

Good luck!!:frown:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
