Confessing, Moving Forward



Recommended Posts

You all are so AWESOME!! I guess I was confessing not staying on "plan" by making healthy choices and got that self sabatoge feeling that I am sure we have all felt on the many diets that we've tried. I can say though---I felt so sick and the next day was not pretty either--It is a good way to move towards healthier choices or healthier versions at least. And I won't beat myself up over the slip ups-- The major jist that I get is we need to keep our eye on the prize and keep moving forward--even if we stumble along the way. I just felt so guilty because I am a self pay and I really don't want to screw this up both for financial and health reasons.

Thank you all for your persepctives-- It really helps alot!

chicamam1-- We have the same surgery date and I haven't really been that hungry either. 4-6oz really fills me up. We're both learning about this band- I am sure that we will both feel differently after we get our fills. Mine is next week and I cannot wait!

LET'S ROCK THIS BAND!

Actually a kids cheeseburger with only the smaller bottom half of the bun has become a staple for me. It's just the right amount of food, high Protein, easy to get down, reasonable amount of calories. Kind of high in fat but if the rest of the day balances it that's ok.

Don't beat yourself up!

About the metallic taste, I had that issue too, for about a month after my surgery everything had a funky bitter taste. Thank goodness that has passed :crying:

      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.
