When I went to my last doctors meeting, he was telling us that he did surgery on his daughter 6 weeks before. All she did was cry due to mourning the loss off food. The death of her friend, comforter, companion. In a way its the lost of a bad friend. They were around you for all the wrong reasons.
At week one, I could not deprive myself of something I loved, so indulged. I bought instant mashed potatoes... put a teaspoon of mushroom Soup on it and I was happy. I ate one bite, thats all that made me feel better. It IS hard not having it there. After a day or 2, it went in the garbage. My head hunger was satisfied and I could move on. I have to every now and then let myself feel normal. I Eat something everyone else has. We went on a short road trip 2 weeks ago. I made Terry stop and get me a happy meal lol. It was just the thought, I coudln't eat but one fry but I was happy I had it in my hand. Silly I know.
I think its about allowing yourself to work the food and head hunger out of the way. I am just over 4 weeks and I had a big appetite for the first few weeks. but its going away. It must take some time to get out of your system. I get hungry but it only last till that first bite.
Tonite Im having something I call savory...tomato Soup. I have a unsalted saltine with it, just one.. nibble away but gives me that incredible sense of normalcy.
Its kinda funny, I look at what I eat now and realize just how much food I was consuming before. I don't know if any of you have had this, but I am having floods of old memories of me thin come back, old feelings and thoughts. Its like I am becoming the old version of me again and I like that much much better than a big bowl of potatoes and gravy and the misery of all that fat. I am more social and I notice the way others talk to me differently... more positive.
Its the little things in life that make it worth living. Im thankful I will have a tomorrow, Im thankful i don't have the ball and chain of food around my body. I CAN eat what I want. I just choose not to and you will too. Sometimes the strict diet can pull you down. Too much routine, too much of the same foods. Find ways around it. Get a food you love and "taste" it, you don't have to eat it or even much of it. Sometimes just knowing the taste will get you by. My first week I ate some mac and cheese. Just chewed it and out it went, just for the flavor. I was struggling too. But that passed and so even thinking of that doesn't appeal to me. But I needed it that first week or so. I needed to know I can eat eventually. I know I can now so its not such a big deal but try telling me that the first week lol
Good luck with your weight loss. I know you will pull through this time and look back and say boy, glad that parts over lol look at all the weight I have lost.... Food? Eat??? maybe later lol

I am starting to go back to my old ways of eating. Does this hit everyone at sometime? I'm worried and don't want to go back to my old ways. How have people overcome this?

My doc and nut in Utah are against liquid calories, reason why they don't have us on protien drinks. Also was told coffee, milk and juices were no nos but I do know these diets are very similar to ones they have with bleeding ulcers and you hear of leaks months after the surgery. I for one would rather give up those than have a leak! High acid foods are out. I would say the Soups are because they move through your stomach fast and leaving you feeling less full but all in all, creamed Soups are loaded with calories. Chili not sure why unless its the hot chili because my doc promotes Beans big time.
Giving up certian foods for now in order to loose the weight is just something we need to do or risk failure and no one wants that. And I have to remember, this is a life style change.
I always go with my body, my decision as to what I eat. I can't go back to eating what I was, no way no how. In time like with any habit, you have to change the way you think and that takes time. With this, you have to eat but we just have learn to eat to survive, not survive to eat.
Ive seen 3 nuts, One's delivery was pretty blunt and I wans't a big fan of hers but they all had the same message. 70% protien, 30% veggies .... thats about it for me.
WIll I eat some things I shouldn't? YES, at times it will happen, will I do it often, no.
As I am typing this, my bf is drinking creamed sugared coffee and a frozen bagel sandwhich.... I just have to drink my Water and listen to his heart protesting lol

Lol at this one...obamacare socialism and no end to rediculous cost. Only 23 states will cover baratrics under that...

You know, it is hard but when you drop a size in pants, can breath easier, tie your shoes, wipe yourself easier, walk a flight of stairs easier,no, no regrets....
I find it hard to eat yes, but before I would stuff myself the same way, felt pretty much the same as now actually.... I'm lucky...I won't die from the effects of being obese.....I might out live my friends, see my grand kids finish college and meet their kids...it not about food its about my health...IM 54...I might not have lived much longer... This is blessing...I don't care if I endure a few months of pain, Fear and anger...I'm alive and much to live for....

I just choose not to and you will too. Sometimes the strict diet can pull you down. Too much routine, too much of the same foods. Find ways around it. Get a food you love and "taste" it, you don't have to eat it or even much of it. Sometimes just knowing the taste will get you by. My first week I ate some mac and cheese. Just chewed it and out it went, just for the flavor. I was struggling too. But that passed and so even thinking of that doesn't appeal to me. But I needed it that first week or so. I needed to know I can eat eventually. I know I can now so its not such a big deal but try telling me that the first week lol
Good luck with your weight loss. I know you will pull through this time and look back and say boy, glad that parts over lol look at all the weight I have lost.... Food? Eat??? maybe later lol

There are soo many micro things that it can be denied for.
Simple wording, 90 days wt monitoring, if 1 month of that isn't a full 30 days in between visits. Denial
Your PCP release for surgery must say Approved and recommended for surgery, If it doesn't it will be denied. The 90 day wt monitoring is actually 120 day and it must be 30 days or more between visits. It has to be detailed... details of exercise, details of diet and details of wt.. details details details. My PCP started mine, wasn't even close to be what is needed. I went to another recommended by my surgeon who knew exactly what was needed on the reports.
Dietician must approve and recommend,
Must pass psyc exam
If you got those right should be good to go. Go over your paperwork and look and see if it covers it all. Some surgeons office are not that great at making sure its all here.
Good luck

I think my friends are kinda jealous... Its hard to watch someone loose Wt when they still struggle everyday...if anyone of them try to throw my train off the tracks, they will get runover,lol. Its just food, like air, Water, required for life, eat to live, not live to eat, or even worse, eat to have friends....your friend is loosing control of you and they don't like it.manipulation is an awful thing....
