Topic: 7 Years post op weight gain diet

Hi everyone!

 

So I had DS in 2009. I was 450. Ended up getting to 180. 2 weeks ago I was 216. I ditched the carbs and got to 205. Now I'm 206. Is it possible I'm eating too much protein? I'm getting fristrated.

Topic: RE: My back hurts

Very possible. Before I started loosing weight I would sporadically have low back pain, sometimes to the point where it would go out for several hours.

And for a long period of time, my sacroiliac joint would go out and I would have to go to physical therapy for it.

 

So far since I've lost I've had no issues.

I am 12 years out and still have to cut my pills into pieces. I have been told that I cannot crush my pain meds, but that is what my pain management doctor says.

Cravings suck big time before and at times after surgery.  You can do this. 

Not sure if you are able, but see if you can do a one on one therapy meeting. 

Your body is trying to rebel going on liquid I would bet the craving are a good part of head hunger.  Our minds can play dirty tricks on us.

I forgot who posted it, but there was a member here who posted 'HUNGER IS NOT AN EMERGENCY'.  I have said that over and over at times when stress was starting to get the best of me.  It helps me to stay on track.  In a couple of weeks I will be 1 year out from my revision.  I have gone from 280 to 196 with 46lbs more to lose.  I have had a few bumps in the road (my own doing), but if you stick to the plan and work the tool you will succeed.

Topic: RE: Pre-Op 2-week liquid diet protein smoothies- skim milk vs almond milk vs cashew milk

I think you should go by taste pre surgery but post surgery take a look at protein counts. The nut milks have less protein than milk. In the beginning post op I would make shakes with "double milk" which was skim milk + powdered milk to increase the protein count.

I still have problems eating when I first get up. I take advantage of that time to work on getting fluid in.

Wasn't sure how to respond butt okay I am currently in group therapy that I attend weekly. I think it really helps a lot since the first time I got my date pushed back. Before going on the liquid diet I was doing great but I've just been having major cravings while on it! But after posting, I decided to woman up and get back on track! I really do appreciate the replies because I really needed them!! And if my date does gets pushed back again, I'm just going to suck it up and try to control my cravings.

You haven't responded to anyone's probing questions, so I'll assume you're embarrassed.  Don't be.  We are all here because we have serious issues with food.

Surgery doesn't fix it.  If you've ever watching "My 600 lb Life," you'll see that it's easy to eat around the surgery and not lose weight.  If you're cheating on your pre op diet, it's not a great indicator that you'll be compliant on your post op diet.

Have you considered therapy of some sort to address your eating disorder?  I don't know all the details of your life, but my gut feeling is that you may not be ready.  Just my .02¢

The people b4 me have given you great advice. I'll add that you'll have to take a hard look as to why you're messing up & perhaps you're not ready for surgery. Just like Kat mentioned, it doesn't mean that you'll never be ready. Maybe just not right now.

You have to get your head in the game & start tackling your food issues now rather than later. 5 days seems to short a time to now make whatever weight your Dr set for you & you're starting to go into panic mode. Calm down, use this time to reflect & get help so that the next time around you won't have to barely pass anything, make weight & be successful for the long term.
