Why do I feel guilty?

[sach1 24]

Water intake can come from a lot of different areas;
1. water
2. broth
3. sugar free Jello
4. tea
you can get kind of creative with jello- when you first mix it up and its dissolved in the hot Water you can add the cold water and put a little in a cup and sip on the warm Jello like a sweet tea treat. It is actually pretty soothing to the system
there are all kinds of caffeine free teas hot and cold, I personally found the first week or so after surgery that warm drinks were calming when ever I was gassy or had an upset system. It is also helpful with constipation to drink a warm drink to help get the bowels rolling.
I got the Cirkul water bottle with a bunch of different flavors and find myself having to cut myself off from drinking water in the evening or else I am up all night using the biffy!!!

I highly recommend looking into the Cirkul water bottle. They have a promotional deal going where you can get the set up for $5

At first I thought it was super expensive until I started to figure out what I used to spend on soda and now what I was spending on different drops and teas and other things. It really isn't bad priced when you really look at it and the actual product is AMAZING!!!

Thank you so much.
I will try out different things.

Hi.

I'm 19 days post WLS today and on my pureed diet period.

I feel hungry and eat 3 meals and 2-3 Snacks a day, in small portions of course.

Count the calories of every meal and snack.< /p>

Between 700-900 kcal a day.

I feel guilty after eating. Think I must starve to loose more weight. Have constant feeling that I'm not going to loose anymore weight. Putting on instead.

I'm 176cm tall and current weight is 280lbs.

Anyone else going through same situation and how do you deal with it?

I feel the same way, I’m on my pre-op diet. I feel like I’ve become obsessed with the scale and food, in an unhealthy way. Like every time I pee... ope, I better go check my weight. It’s driving me crazy. I think after surgery I am going to put my scale away and only bring it out to check my weight on the “milestone” dates. I feel guilty about food too. My liquid diet allows for one lean cuisine a day and it’s like my whole day is planned around when I can eat that. I’m losing weight but I feel less healthy mentally.

I am also about 3 weeks post surgery and I obsessed in the beginning about ounces in and ounces out and I have found that if I keep busy during the day I don’t even think about it.
I fill up my Water bottle and dig into projects and have a reminder set on my phone so I do not forget to eat.
I would suggest to find something to keep your body busy because if your body is busy your mind is busy you will find food far from your thoughts.
My husband has just started his two week pre op diet and I actually have found I do better when I am by myself in the middle of some big cleaning or organizing project so I don’t fret about him or worry about what I am going to eat!!

Hope it works !

Happy holidays!!

Water bottles help me. I count the number I need for the day and out them on them on the counter. Then in the lunch box. I notice I can drink tea without sugar so use a bottle for a tea bag. Like the other person said those big cups fill them up. Put a water app or timer on your phone. I have to eat less to drink but you need the water.

Does your doctor have a dieticians? If not see one.

I added what the dietician gave me this week. Hope it helps. Hang in there

I know.. its crazy. I'm trying not to weigh myself everyday now.
And after this 3 weeks stall, I have set my mind that I'm not gonna see any difference until its over.
So no more weighing till next 2 weeks or so.
Weighing everyday in hope of seeing less is driving me crazy.
Just trying to keep up with the Water intake, food and being more active.
Wish you all the best for your surgery.

I agree. Whenever I'm busy with chores or outside I'm absolutely fine and can keep going on. But as soon as I'm free all I can do is think about food.
I think its more the head than the body.
How much have you lost in three weeks?
I'm on the famous 3 weeks stall right now.. can't see anything going down on the scale.< br>Hope it gets over soon though.

I went through the exact same thing. Once you get into eating the soft solid foods like eggs you’ll feel a lot better.
