I am almost 2 months post surgery & I have lost 44lbs. I'm afraid of hitting a plateau bc my doctor said that the weight loss will slow down. I'm oxygen so I don't get to exercise like they suggest. I can't hold anything down but the protein shakes, pudding & popsicles. I never used to get hungry before surgery but I find myself getting hungry & having strong cravings for junk food!
This is CRAZY bc when I have a craving for something, I can hold as much as I want! I have realized that I am an emotional eater! I went thru a family hurt this weekend. All week I have eaten bad foods! I had a crispy chicken sandwich from Wendy's, the $2 one. I had some chips, a donut & small fries all over the past 5 days!! It takes me one whole day to eat one bad thing.
I feel horrible! My stomach hurts so badly! And mentally I feel like I have let myself down. I was doing so good & I let them get in my head!!
I don't know what I'm looking for other than a forum to say...I guess I want to scream that I AM NOT GIVING UP ON MYSELF!!
I'm going to get back on track. Start my liquid diet again from scratch and reprogram my mind & body. This surgery was painful for me because I had laparoscopic surgery already in Sept. 2017 for a bad appendix.
Yes. I think that is what I needed to get out. I'm going to pay these next few days for eating the wrong foods. I have pain, nausea, vomiting, cramping and diarrhea. It's not worth it! I am not going to allow emotions & food to trap me again in misery.
