Crisis times of the day...



Recommended Posts

I am 54 days post op. I am coming up to my second fill in 3 days...

I am great at home. I eat reasonably well, and I also eat a gluten and lactose free diet.

BUT

I work as a nanny every weekday from 3pm - 6pm and those few hours are :w00t::angry::smile::thumbdown:TERRIBLE:thumbdown::scared2::angry::lol:

TODAY i ate a king sized Kit Kat BAR, a banana muffin and maybe 20 salty crackers with spread and butter!

WHY I DO NOT KNOW?????????

I ate wayyyyyyy tooo much before I left home (naughty foods at well) but i thought nothing could be worse than what i eat at work..

so I have over eaten TWICE today. BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTROL MY EATING WHEN I AM AT WORK!!

is it because I am lonely? stressed? anxious? shy? I HAVE NOOO IDEA BUT...

I NEED HELP

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? WHY CAN'T I DEAL WITH IT? HOW DO I DO BEHAVIOUR CHANGES? I AM AT A LOW. AND A LOSS :crying:

I JUST NEED FREEDOM - FREEDOM FROM THE OLD ME.

It is most likely happening because of some emotion or nervousness while at work. In my opinion (mine only) I would think you may want to get some snack size bags and put some good things in it to go to when you get that craving. Are you allowed to put something in their fridge? If so, get some raw veggies and a little ranch dip or something like that to grab when you get the munchies. You can also put just a few cashews in a snack size back or a little fruit. Also, you may want to invest in some Protein Bars. I love the Atkins. Just be careful. You still have to count the calories and I only eat one when I get desparate and nothing else will do but it is better than the Kit Kat for sure. It is best obviously not to snack but if you have something available that is good for you at least you won't turn to the wrong things. You may want to seek the advice of a counselor or nutritionist as well. They may be able to help your head hunger.

      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.
