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:

      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.
