I need some help



Recommended Posts

I have slipped of the road of right and wrong... not gaining, but not losing and it is becuase I am eating the wrong things. So... I need some help and I am going to post on the Men's room to get back on track. I am going to get back to the way i should be eating and hope the board will help me be accountable... yeah, yeah, I know... you have to be accountable for yourself, but support groups help and I have been helped by many on the board before, so I am looking for some that help and accountability again.

So... today...

Monday March 16th 2009

235 lbs

Eat too much, drank too much, did not work out.

Tomorrow is another day.

more to come...

Ok Evo, you know I'm not really one to "coddle", so believe me when I tell you this:

It's not too late to get started again. Take it one day at a time.....or if that's too much, then one hour at a time. You can do it, evo.

NSV's! Set some goals away from the scale. Getting into a 46L suit was i big one for me and when I got there - bought a kick a$$ suit. Set goals for working out - 5 miles on the treadmill sounds so nice when I say it. Plenty others out there - you should decide why you want to lose the weight (buy clothes off the rack, lower blood pressure, whatever) and use that as motivation......

EVO you took the first step by posting asking for help. The simple 2nd step might be to post twice a week and tell us what you are doing to get back on track. Posting is a form of accountability as you know.

I agree with plain. The one day at a time is a very important concept.

I too have gone through extended period where I did not lose weight. I have grown to live with the fact that this is an extended process. Even when I am not losing weight there is a NSV that pops up and keeps me going.

My most recent NSV is getting into size 36 pants for the first time in 25 years.

      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.
