Lost it ..Confession



Recommended Posts

Only my 2nd day on Optifast and I already blew it. I did not lose it really bad....just a piece of bread with a tiny bit of Peanut Butter on it! I just got so bloody hungry! I just had to come on and tell someone...confession is supposed to be good for the soul right? ha!

Terrilyn, you did not commit a crime, you did not go on an all out binge, and you need to realize that you did nothing that needs confessing. I understand about admitting it to all of us on the boards, 'cause I think what you are also 'hungry' for are some hugs, so here they come:

((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))

Now I hope you feel better, you're doing a great job being on the Opti-Fast to begin with and making the choice to be banded is huge. You are really a worthy person and deserve to have your dreams filled. You can pm me anytime and if you want I will send you my number and we can talk. This is probably the most difficult time preparing for the surgery, so you may need to talk to someone who has already been through it. I would be honored to help if you need me.

Take care,

Cindy

Terri, I have a dumb question: Why are you on Optifast? Did your surgeon require you to lose some quick pounds before getting banded? Just curious.

      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.
