SERIOUS ONLY: Giving up junk food.



Recommended Posts

I know it's really hard - especially when you have others in your home who don't have to worry about the amounts they eat - even junk stuff in massive quantities. Not fair and not helpful. Maybe a junk drawer with a lock and only he has the key? Otherwise, it's the same old callings and unfortunately, will power did not come with a band. Ice cream goes down too well - so does pudding, pie, and scotch.....at least it's not going on - not losing but not gaining......hate the plateau - but really do know what needs to be done to start on a downward trend....GOT TO DO IT.....

I'm still struggling, but I have been much, much better. I haven't bought much new junk food, so I'm only stuck with stuff people give me, or barbeques, etc., and isn't all that free food calorie-free?

      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.
