Getting back on track



Recommended Posts

After approximately 3 months of losing 3 pds, gaining 4 pds, then losing them again and basically staying the same weight for the past 3 months, I AM BACK ON TRACK!

I had a fill last Wednesday and it had been since February 26th since my last fill. I was absolutely starving all the time, snacking, not exercising, etc. etc.

I know what I have to do and I am now doing it. I am not going to beat myself up because I have been very successful with my weight loss up until this time. I have lost a total of 64 pounds since my surgery date, September 26th, 2008. I just hope this will be an encouragement to someone else who may be struggling. I am feeling much better since my fill, am drinking my Water and am back to exercising. All of you have been a tremendous help to me in the past 9 months and I am glad for all the support. Just knowing that others understand where I am coming from helps so much. I am off to the gym now. Everyone have a great week!!!!!:bored:

Amazing how can fill can change everything.

And yes it is easy to get off track with eating and exercise. During the winter I just couldn't do it. My body ached and I was tired all the time. Found I was suffering from LOW blood pressure, needed to quit all BP meds, but exercise was not coming back. I even quit my walks, which I use to love. Now I am the proud owner of an elliptical and I am working my up to sweat. 16 minutes, but I could barely do two minutes a few weeks ago. Don't beat yourself up, look where you have come.

Once you get back on track you will do fine.

Hey Slim, glad to see your shinning face:wink2:

Take care.

      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.
