Having a wobble

[Crystalrainbow]

Hi Bun sweetheart firstly sending hugs your way...... hopw youv'e had a good weekend and have not given yourself too much of a hard time....... just remember were all here for the same reason. I said to my dietician just last week if only someone had told me what to eat and how much to move i wouldn't have needed surgery LOL for a lot of us its alien ............... dont you just wished they taught these sort of things at school!!! just remember your on the road now, your team will be waiting to help you, they will give you all the advise as to what to eat etc have you tried to count your calories ? there are so many apps which you can download where you can log your food intake (i use my fitbit) its a great way to keep yourself on track. There are loads of threads on here where people list their intake..... even some pre op just like you....... take a nose see if you can get some hints and tips which may help you. x x x x hugs x x x

Thanks Hun just feel like I'm out of control when it comes to eating! And now more than ever I'm confused on what to eat what not to eat ect! X Thankyou xxx

Are you having or has anyone suggested Cognitive Behaviour Therapy? It's worked for a lot of people on here I believe.

Apologies if you already are or know about it.

I can (and do!) still eat crisps with my band, but there is no chance of binge-eating, I'd be sick. I never really did anyway, it was constant hunger that was my problem.

Good luck, and I hope it all works out for you.

Yes Los in it has her intake diary on here ......... its called 'after giving myself a proper telling off' she lists her daily intake including the good and the bad................ she says it helps to see it written down and keeps her on track. Like you She is in the system waiting. Take a peek

 

[Bunster85]

I shall have a look Thankyou xx

 

[princess4d4]

i check for it everyday just to see how shes doing seems to work for her

 

[Bunster85]

Yes just had a look will give it ago though will be embarrassed by how much I eat!!! If I did today's it was crap!!!!! If it's 2lb to every kg I have whacked on 10lbs in about a week or too :-( it's totally the wrong way!

 

[cupid1964]

Bunster don't worry you will get there. I have more off days than on and if I didn't overeat then I wouldn't be here doing this. I take it one day at a time and every good day is one more step to being who I want to be. If it's a bad day then it's another reason to try harder for longer

 

[princess4d4]

we are all here for the same reason no need to be embarrassed by the amounts you eat we have all been there at some point and there are probably many who still are and if you do decide to follow the route of writing it all down and people can see what you have they might be better placed to advise on what you need to change and you will never be judged by anyone on here

 

[WeightlossDreamer]

It's true buns were all in the same boat and pre op we were all in the same position. Don't stress about it make small changes now in prep for the op x x

 

[Bunster85]

Thankyou xxxx

Never feel embarrassed hun, were all here for same reason........ and we all have to start somewhere, for me writing it down made me realise how much crap i really ate .... it was like finally admitting it to myself!!!
The weight gain is sooooooo easy hunni back in November (while i was on the waiting list) i had to move into temporary accommodation for 2 weeks and just by letting my eating habits slip i managed to gain 1 1/2 stone just in 2 weeks!!!! just shows how easy it is to do when you take your eye of the ball. Fortunately The fear of my op date coming around was enough to get me back on the straight and narrow and i managed to shift the extra on my pre op diet lol
Anyway sweets if you decide to give the diary a go we'll all be here to support you x x x
