Feeling Down, Need Encouragement Please



Recommended Posts

I went off the deep end and now I'm trying to pull myself back up out of the pool (of junk food)!

I'm almost 3 months post-op and have been doing very well with my food choices and exercise. But last week I went in for my 2nd fill and ended up leaving with -.4cc.

2nd Fill details: coffee and a bowl of oatmeal hoping to get back on track today.

Anyone who has had trouble with their fills, please reassure me that I will eventually get restriction. :tongue:

Well why did they unfill? My Dr told me he does not take any out. I told him a story about someone going on a cruise that had their cc's all taken out so she could eat and never got them put back in, he shook his head no and said "I don't take it out once it's in". You know we all go thru this. I have not had my first fill yet and those chips were in front of my face. So instead of eating the whole back I just took a few to get the taste, then I stopped. The other option is to just not buy the junk food, How much money can you save? Want that new car? or House downpaymant? So when you go to the store total up what you would have spent on junk food and take that money and put it away, you will have enough to do whatever you want! Now it's time to drink alot of Water and get moving.walk the dog or just plug in your IPOD and go for a long walk, that 3 pounds will come back off.

I haven't had trouble w/ my fills but it did take 4 fills, which put me almost 6 months post-op to feel restriction. I kept beating myself up for not losing much at all - and I was embarrassed. However, I'm going forward now and it took me longer than most to get to this point, but you'll get there :-)

      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.
