Need help...Quickly



Recommended Posts

I have done really well, so far, until yesterday. My Grandson is home from college for semester break, for the holidays. I have worried about this for a while. I have kept some Snacks in the house for him but I have started grazing. Before this I wouldn't have anything in the house so I would not get tempted. I just don't know how to get back on track. I haven't really blown everything. I don't think I have gained any weight, but this is how I always failed before, and I don't want to lose all I have worked so hard to get.

Can anyone give my some advice, or encouragement? Also, yesterday was my daughter's birthday and I baked the cake here. It wasn't that bad, I ate a small piece of cake. but stopped at that. It may be what set me off though.

Thanks for ANY help.

I know we like to make our grandchildren happy, I have 3 young ones from my stepdaughter, but if you can't resist the Snacks, then don't keep them in the house. That is how I survive. When I do bake for them, I will eat one small piece or serving of whatever it is and send the rest home with them when they go. I know my limitations, and saying no to foods I love and crave is pushing it.

Thanks, actually, my Grandson is in your town. He is going to law school and only comes home after semester is over. He is a health nut so it is only in my mind that I have to have junk here. After today only healthy things in this house. Even after Christmas, everyone will get a doggie bag.

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it, and so far today, all is well.

      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.
