Confessions of diet infractions here...



Recommended Posts

I am supposed to be on mushies . . . my band date was 28 April 09. This week I had cheesecake at a work luncheon. Then last night I had several bites of a steak, veggies and a chicken bite. I feel so guilty that I ate the food!! I am so hungry and I am only a little over 2 weeks POST OP.

Do you think I will mess up my band by progressing my diet?? I am able to stand food. And even though I cheated I did not eat a large amount of anything. My first fill is May 28th. Any input you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and congrats on everyones progress!!

I am having my third fill tomorrow - I weighed in this morning and have put on 800g this week (1lb) I am eating the wrong food because I am hungry and I am eating too much. I am tricking myself that because it is "small quantities" I can eat bad food. WRONG. Maybe occassionally but I have rationalised this into every day. Looking forward to my fill tomorrow - and am going to make a big effort to eat my healthy Breakfast and healthy lunch rather than seeing if I can go without as not that hungry - and then starving at tea time and making bad choices. I guess this is all about working out how this band works and how we can work with it - and we will get there - as long as we are honest with ourselves - as you can't change what you don't acknowledge!!! hehe!

Hey

Yep, third fill tomorrow.

Doc has open door policy - because it takes a few fills usually to get to the sweet spot you can just keep going back as often as you want - within reason (eg. you can't go three times in one week but you can go each week) until you have a good restriction. Thank god, I cannot wait. I am chowing down like I used to... boooo.

OMG!!! I totally owe Raelita an apology!!!!! I am WAY TOO serious!!! What an idiot! I DID misread your post!!! Anyway, after I read wannabe's post I got this picture of Alex from Madagascar biting the zebra on the butt and I busted out laughing. God, I hope you guys know which movie I'm talking about. Anyway, sorry Raelita, you go girl, hang on to your humor and never mind the crazy post I put up!

I just feel like I have to defend us all. I guess it came from my mom announcing in front of a group of people "should you be having a half glass of wine? The paperwork said you shouldn't drink!" I was furious and embarrassed. But, I knew it would happen. She apologized afterward, but it was too late. It was a celebration, I had half a glass of wine. I am eating healthier. Having the band didn't mean that I could NEVER have certain things again. Ok, I'll stop ranting.

And I promise NEVER to get too serious again! Please remind me if I do...mea culpa...

LMAO! This was good, Raelita! Licking a pork chop....you are hilarious! Hey, at least you didn't BITE it! :)

I too have been on Clear Liquids for 11 days. Believe it or not, I still have no appetite, and am feeling no hunger, but I am feeling this NEED to chew on something. Last night, I was tired and crabby, and when I made my last Protein shake in the blender, I tossed in 8 chocolate chips. Don't know why....certainly didn't give me any chewing satisfaction or any other kind for that matter....but I figure if that's the worst thing I've done post-op, I'm okay.

Happy Birthday, JayTee!!

      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.
