Interesting Idea For Help In Sticking To The Pre-Op Diet



Recommended Posts

I just finished a really great book called "Drop Dead Healthy" by A. J. Jacobs. In the book he described how he broke a habit of eating sweets. He made a contract with his wife that if he ate sweets, she would send his money to a group he hates. In his case, it was the American Nazi party. He said it completely broke his habit be because even looking at sweets made him think about supporting them with his money, and the thought repulsed him.

I've made a similar deal with my husband, using a different group. If I cheat at all, the check gets sent.

I know I can't live the rest of my life like this, but in the future I'll have the band to help. I'm afraid if I don't do this, I'll rationalize, a little of this or that....

Think about the safety of the surgery this is what is making me stay on the straight & arrow. I don't want to do anything to jeopardize the safety of the surgery. The first two days are the hardest, drink a ton of Water.< /p>

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
