Sparatic Eating



Recommended Posts

I was banded 9/14. I eat plenty of Protein each day, at least 70 grams. I have had three meltdowns where I ate Desserts and did not really pay the price. They werre meltdowns because there were uncontrolled due to anger, or emotions etc. I havenot been drinking enough Water and woried that my carb intake is two high. Anyone else like this of can give me some suggestions. I seem to be losing weight but I want to do it the right way.

Eating things like tuna, Protein shakes, soft cheese but to much sugar and carbs with faina and or desserts.

Kind of venting so thanks for listening. Any words of encouragement are greatly appreciated.

If you are losing you are prob doing a great job. Having a bit of a dessert here and there is not the end of the world.

If you find that you are eating more carbs than you would like to be then add more protien at the begining of the meal. Also, to feel fuller longer I hear that protien shakes are not the way to go, Maybe try some oatmeal with protien powder in it instead of sugar???

Never beat yourself up for a few indulgences every now and then. As hard as you work, you deserve an occasional treat. As long as you are still losing weight, you are doing something right. Just keep in mind that for every indulgence, harder work will be required. I have an occasional small bowl of ice cream or a piece of cake. I just remember to do an extra five to ten minutes exercise. It is all about moderation. Good luck to you!

Never vanquish yourself up for a few indulgences every now and then. As severe as you energy, you merit an occasional impact. As protracted as you are plant losing weight, you are doing something reactionary. Just reserve in remember that for every leniency, harder output faculty be required. I make an occasional minuscule construction of ice cream or a case. It is all virtually relief. Favourable chance to you!

Thanks for the support all. Just feels weird because I am certainly eating 75% less than normal but do not feel like the band is doing anything eventhought he doctor says that is why I am eatings so much less. I am looking forward to my first fill I guess to reassure me even though the doctor did to that everthing is working properly. I have gone from excited to grateful to scracred to nervous to sad to contentment 10 times each in no order during this ordeal. I am sure it is all worth it in the end.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
