Recommended Posts

Had cheese 100g , half a hamburger from macdonalds, 2 latte coffees large, 100g nuts, 10 prunes,1 whole chicken breast, 1 bannana, veges, and small tub of icecream, and 5 large rice cracker crispbreads. not normally like this, is it because did not drink any Water today? I have been banded since 18 sep 2007 and down 76lbs, did half hour walk today.

Sounds like it's adjustment time. And probably you didn't drink enough Water to curb some of the hunger pains. Good to see you still walked though.

Went to surgeon last week, I told him I am getting hungrier than normal , but he said am doing really well so far and he does not feel I need a fill and will see me in another 3 months, ooohhhh, but now use more willpower I guess, gee seems not drinking the water does make a difference.I try to be good an walk most days.

It is you brain hunger. You do not need the calories. Tell your brain to shut up - it isn't really hungry. Get completely away from food! Go shopping, look at old photos, go for a walk.

You can do it

I'm sorry slimmy I hope you find a solution.

Maybe just try to eat all Protein in your hunger attacks. It will stick with you longer and without the carbs it shouldn't have a such a negative impact on your weight loss.

Goodluck.

I felt like it couldn've been a post written by me. I have also been very hungry lately. I know I am self sabotaging myself. I should also get a fill. I don't even know why I am eating so much especailly when I've worked so hard. I have even been exercising like crazy. (running, biking, swimming, I would love to do a mini-triathlon) The last two days I was able to talk myself out of exercising and feel like I've eaten the whole kitchen! I plan to get right back on the wagon tomorrow. Even thought of putting myself on a liquid diet again to jumpstart myself. Good luck. I know how hard it is. Unfortunately I should change my ticker, but I don't want to. I will get back down to that weight soon!

I think we all have those days. It is best not to dwell on it and move on with some other activity. Perhaps just tell yourself, it is done and I am not going to continue. If you still need something to much on, have some veggies.

I agree - we all have those days.

Yesterday was a bad one for me too. I think I was just bored - head hunger is an evil mistress!!

Dust your self off and get right back on the wagon.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
