Topic: RE: First day of liquid diet
Hang in there. After the surgery you wont be hungry at all. I have to force myself to eat each day. I never dream it was possible. I was very angry the first couple of days of liquid diet but the best wake it explain it is your going through the withdrawal process. Your quiting you drug cold turkey and it does a little number on you mentally but you'll be fine. And stop yelling at the TV for showing all those food close ups in commercials.(oops that was me lol) Believe me it gets a lot better.
Topic: RE: First day of liquid diet
Oh i totally know how you feel. I know I'm late to reply but I am on the third day of my pre-op liquid diet and all I think about is food. Commercials, serving food to others, my boyfriend cooking dinner- it is miserable! I dont want to cheat either because this is serious but it is hard. How do you mentally prepare to never do your drug of choice again? I keep wishing I had indulged more before this diet- since after surgery i cant cheat either-- oh well- cold turkey it is--- umm that sounds good right now! LOL
Topic: RE: Alli weight loss program
The FDA has just issued a liver damage warning which is to be printed on packs of Alli and Xenical. Says 13 cases of serious liver damage, including a couple of deaths, may be associated with its use. The link below is a Chinnese one but in hurry and can't find the US one I read yesterday!

Topic: First day of liquid diet
I think i can, i think i can, i think i can. I don't think I've ever gone two days without food. I even cheated when I was in the hospital waiting to get birth. But this time I think I will look at it as a two day cleanse and mental preparation. I keep wonder if I will go into withdrawal like a junkie. Moody, irritable, crazed without my drug of choice. The drug i have faithfully relied all of my life. I guess its time to learn some coping skills. Cold turkey baby here I come. Lets do this.

As far as I know Alli is the over the counter version of Xenical which I tried before wls. As you say, if you don't eat a high fat diet, it won't do anything at all. i didn't lose using it.

hI,
I also bought some of the ALLI pills and I think I wasted my money! I also don't eat allot of fat,so then I'm not taking the pill at meals like you are supposed to...
I haven't been brave enough to try the 5 day pouch test....I'm not good at sticking to anything!! I'm a failure at this surgery as it is!! I never got to my goal weight and I have gained 20+ pounds back that I did lose!!!!
I wish I had an answer...of course I know what that is...exercise...I sit at a desk all day at work! Then write down everthing you eat....I could run out of paper!!! hehe!
I eat allot out of stress....the Dr. has tried all kinds of things for me,none of them worked!
But anyway,maybe they will work for you,but I still have allot left because of the fat thing!!

Topic: RE: Recovering food-a-holic
I would love to use the snow as an excuse, okay, I will. hahaha we got snow twice here this year.
seriously, I am finding that doing a deep thoroughly spring / fall cleaning of the house, stripping out every drawer and cleaning it, and reorganizing it, socks, clothes, dishes, silverware, junk, we all have them. keeps you so busy, you dont dwell on that next bite.
today I didnt do much outside of the house, but I did get out, and I stayed under my calorie goal, and so far, down 5 lbs. this week. even if it is just washing and drying 4 loads of laundry, walking up and down stairs, getting my butt up off the chair, away from the desk is helping.

I like free too!! My biggest problem is not getting in enough exercise!! Maybe when this snow gets the heck out of here I will feel more like doing something!!
Topic: RE: anybody out there
I lied, it did not cut back, I moved them to my office so that I did not have to move to go get them. I purged the room, I am back to on track, today is day two.
Day one was much harder than I thought, today is going easier, I decided to paint the trim on the outside of the house, it is keeping me distracted.

Topic: RE: Recovering food-a-holic
I agree we already paid for the tool and the tool works we just do not seem to be able to completely break away from the cycle of stress eat gain stress eat gain. part of me hates that I have to revisit portions and wow did I have a moment when I had to start measuring yesterday. I had been okay with most of my portions but I was able to sneak in extras. Now with fitday I am tracking and keeping the portions down and of course this site has back to basics since we are not alone and that is free. I like free.
