milk diet? ow crap I cudnt do it. I hate milk, well most dairy realy. I need a massive kick up the bum. havnt even tried to loose weight yet. was guna wait untill seing consaltant wednesday. but looking at how well ur all doing before surgery I feel like a right failure. just havnt got any motivation yet. x
JIB believe you and me! I was like that. I needed many people to tell me firmly but politely that I need to get a grip! One person said to me how am i going to cope afterwards if i don't learn to change as they teach you in the weight management tier 3 program. Thats why they want you to do the program to get your head in the right mind set. I thought i was a failure but we have to realize we have to get up think positive and move on or the surgery wont work for us. Remember its only a tool. Please please don't think your a failure your not we are all here because we too struggled with the demons of over eating. Like alcoholics and drug addicts we too have our addict its just that it is food. Can i suggest you get a small note book or use a diary app to input your intake each day. Write everything down even drinks and at the end write how you felt mood wise at times you over ate. Next day look at your prob times etc and try to do different. A good tool i used was i got a nice container. Then on a piece of paper i made 16 square boxes in each i wrote things i like to do such as "do a crossword""read a book" "walk locally", "makeover", "painted nail" etc etc . I folded the up and threw them into the box. Every time i felt hungry or down and would eat. I picked a piece of paper out of the container which i kept in the kitchen and followed that task. . You can do this and we are here to help. Come on smile YES I CAN say it YES I can. Hugs xx

Sharona I really like the idea of doing the tasks, I definitely need a distraction for comfort eating and non-hunger food cravings as I'm sure that won't go away after surgery. You seem to really have it figured out and a great positive attitude so I'm sure you'll have great success x

Yes I would like to add to that too , love the idea of the tasks and I'm going to use that from tomorrow when I begin the LSD. I'm sure there will be times I can't think of anything else but the boredom and the restriction over the next 3 weeks and in the future. X

Hey none of us are perfect, if we'd all totally cracked it we wouldn't be here! You have a great attitude towards it though and it sure helps along the way to achieve success and is also a great motivation for others so thank you and lots of luck with everything, I'm sure you'll do amazingly :)

Hi all I'm a big comfort eater and out of everything involved in this extreme decision of WLS the real life thought of how I will cope once my coping mechanism has gone is my very biggest fear! I am all for any ideas for distraction and coping techniques. I have booked my bypass surgery today for the 7/11! Gulp!

I'm failing. I've been trying to slim fast in the week running up to my consultation in the hope of loosing a few lbs. and I've done the opposite. I've gained!! My consult is next week on the 21!!

And now I'm terrified I'll fail the preop diet and not get surgery :( x

Please do as its very soon and you may have to do some LSD diet although by reading through a lot of threads some dont have to .Im sure why this is the case as I thought its for safety reasons .all the best when you call . xx
