Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 , I can totally relate to what you are going thru, I too am yo-yoing with 5 pds and seems that instead of getting my s**t together and making better food choices I am eating constantly. I agree that for me there is perhaps a subconcious need to sabotage this surgery, there is a huge part of me that is waiting to wake up from this " dream " and instead of being 140pds I will be 300 pds again and so I am just hastening the process?? Not sure, I am trying to figure it out and hopefully I will with the help of a good therapist and my other RNY friends and this list. Thanks for your post, makes me feel so not alone, I wish you and myself luck LOL Cindee VBG 1992/Revision to open RNY 18 months ago Dr Norman s, Ft Lauderdale, Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 : I'm sorry you're going through all of this. I'm doing exactly what you're doing, except my weight is okay. I went a day without sugar and it was like quitting smoking or something. I may even talk to the doctor. Yesterday at work was very hectic (8-15 tax deadline) and I ate almost two cookies. Granted it took four hours because if I ate it faster I would get sick. But eating it slowly doesn't make me feel great. I eat tons of protein. I only seem to graze at night when I can't quite find the right thing to make me full. I have a really modest dinner, then later I *have* to have a designer protein or a bowl of cream of wheat with butter. But, I'm going to ask my doctor where this sugar thing is coming from. I've quit smoking forever. I've quit drinking because after surgery the hangovers are nearly lethal from half of what I'd drink before the surgery. I wonder if sugar is going to become one of those white knuckle kind of addictions? I don't think it's us trying to " sabotage " ourselves. I just think it's something the body is going through and maybe there's some way to help it.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 , I have only seen protein drinks. Can you tell me about the protein tablets? sounds interesting and maybe easier.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 1999 Report Share Posted August 14, 1999 I got them at the health food store. They are amino acid tablets (1000 mg each). Concentrated predigested protein. Much simpler than the shakes, supplements, and bars. I am not milk intolerant at all. Actually I have milk on cereal every morning. But this is made from the enzyme hydrolysis of milk protein. I don't know if that would cause problems for anyone who is milk intolerant.. B in California Carolyn Mailloux wrote: > > > , > I have only seen protein drinks.
