Pre surgery 300lbs

This journey has its ups and downs. Believe I just passed 3 week plateau. I was told no bread no rice no Pasta must have 60-90 grams of Protein per day! I struggle constantly I find myself hungry and obsessed with food I have stick to the restrictions are a piece of candy here or there and keep up the fluids and exercise daily. These are my demons and I am trying to deal with them but is it hard and when is it going to be easier? I was told I would be hungry like this or crave sweets which I do sometimes. Having a semi meltdown

Wow, sorry you are having a difficult time right now. It's easy for me to say, as I have not walked a day in your shoes, (SD - Dec. 20th) but try to focus on the goals you set. The goal of this long journey and the end rewards. I know it's a struggle but food and sweets will always be here, so when you've reached your goals you can endulge a little. Stay focus for now. Best of luck. I hope this help, I feel for you.

I just hit week 6 and slowly starting regular foods. I am a massive addict. My boyfriend isn't really helping either. Don't stress yourself out. Get a really good chocolate Protein Shake, EAS or Premier Protein. Drink when you are hungry. You are supposed to eat 4-6oz every hour. Eat when you're hungry. If it involves a sweet or 10 shhhh lol do it. The whole thing is that you are in the healing stage. If you want I can give you some really good meals that totally feel like you are cheating but you're not.

I have tons! All with chicken breast.

I buy the Perdue individually wrapped. They are easier. Get taco seasoning broil the chicken then chop up add seasoning like you do with meat. Serve with avocado slices and sour cream. If you can eat bread then use a soft taco shell. Sooooo good

Get deli turkey breast chop up into small pieces add goat cheese (I use cranberry goat cheese) or feta cheese add avocado and small chunks of green apple.

Spray chicken breasts with Pam. Then cover in shredded parm cheese and broil. Serve with some kind of veggie

I also keep ready to eat mashed sweet potatoes on hand.

Desert - get redi whip fat free, choc rice cakes sprinkles and strawberries or blue berries. Put whipped cream on rice cake put fruit on whipped cream and add sprinkles. Feels do decadent but not. I also get sugar free pudding and make a faux sundae with whipped cream and sprinkles

I have more but tired of typing lol. Hope that helps

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
