Addicition



Recommended Posts

We have all sorts of Addicition from drugs,alcohol, to even over indulging in are food intake,which stress...... has alot to do with over eating! And food is a comfort thing.

Is a person that doe,s every thing to the Extreme an addict? In some way or Another. I found out in the past I was working out 15 hours a week tearing my body apart in the name of fitness & health.

I have cut way back and will just stick to walking & very lights weights.I know I was setting my self up for a fall,because I was trying to look like one of those modles on mens health magazine, which there have propbley taken care of them self for meny years I come to the conclusion that I can,t do all this in one year...

that was my goal was to lose and maintain 100 pounds I have done that then my addictive personalty told me that I could do it all! ( I ) have made

extreme progress in my Quest to be fit and health. I have done Good.

I still want to be fit but Im am not going to kill myself doing it,and exercise should be fun not a Job!

I,almost walked into a compaulsive disorder by doing to much,tell some friends of mine on LBT told me to slow down & my wife.That Im not going to do it over night I did not get fat over night and will not be thin over night!

I, can live with that,I,choose to fight the weight loss game every day at little steps. well to all of you I hope you meet your weight loss goals!!!!!

And to all the kind words of encourgement from all of you Thanks.JOHNQ

Ps if any could make this photo,s small and put them together for me like nina,s that would be great! Thanks again this last eleven month has been great with you all! Take care God bless you all.

One of the sexiest things about the "new" John is that big smile! Keep on smiling and give yourself some time for your brain to catch up with your body.

Thanks for sharing all of this with us, it sure does make me think.

I too am happy with where Iam in my weight loss journey, if I never lose another pound and I can maintain this loss, then I have won the battle. One day at a time!

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
