Self Sabotage



Recommended Posts

At night I drink Protein hot chocolate. 90 calories - 15 grams of protein. The sweetness satisfies and for some reason, the hot drink makes me fuller than a cold drink. Go figure!

May I ask how you make your protein hot chocolate? :) Sounds yummy. Especially since it is getting cold.

Hey Lisa

Here's the link. It will take you to the friend referral once you sign up and you place your order there will be a place to use your "rewards"

For the 20 dollars off

I drink the Bari wise one but it seems most people drink the Proti Diet one in the jug it's a better value so I'm going to try that one next..

LauraVen, does it taste much better than say the no sugar added Swiss miss or keep you full longer? I get enough Protein earlier in the day, so I need to justify the extra cost before trying it.

Lynda it's been so long since I've had sugar free regular hot coco I couldn't say :P

It does fill my tummy though I like drinking it in the evening sometime before bed.

You know sometimes if I eat dinner early it just doesn't stick all night..

But if you are meeting Protein? And don't get hungry? It may not be worth it..

Well Ido get hungry, but looking for healthy, low cost ways to fill that need. That's why I wondered if it kept you more full than Swiss miss. Tonight after dinner I had two wedges of laughing cow light cinnamon cream cheese, spread on two graham crackers. About 200 calories.

I eat a Pure Protein Bar every night about 9. If I don't, I wake up hungry in the middle of the night and then I can't sleep and I refuse to eat in the middle of the night.

I snack often. I try to include Protein most of the time. String cheese helps or baby bell light cheese. Also I discovered Quest Protein Bars and order them by the box. They are all natural , 20 grams protein per bar and only between 160 to 200 calories. They have about none different flavors , some taste great other flavors are just ok. They use natural sweeteners and no sugar.

Nightime is the worst. I plan a snack and force myself to wait to a specific time in the evening to eat it that way I have something to look forward to. I plan a sweet snack that's what satiafies me. Weight watchers frozen treats are good but. Gotta find the ones with less carbs. The bari wise or nutri wise hot chocolate are also great. The best part of my plan for me is to satay busy so the past few months I have been doing puzzles u know 500 to 750 pieces something challengin enough but I will complete. That keeps my hands and mind busy (while watching tv). Also recently I have two nights a week when I say I am not eating an evening snack or I will NOT eat anything after 9pm. If I do this twice a week I have bugun to learn to control those late night grazing sessions. For me its all about controlling the fatty voices in my head and after two years sleeved its still not easy. Good luck

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
