It's called fat secret and I got it in my play store it's an app. Now as far as being able to drop the calories, ur right it's all in our heads. So what I do is I eat till I'm full but I try to make those the best choices I can to begin with. Like today I was running uber later got 3 hrs of sleep and had no time to cook. So I stopped at hardies to get me a couple of burgers but I altered them no bun, no condiments no fries and no soda. Just two burgers with bacon and cheese. I'm full atm and that will prolly last 3 ish hrs. So when I start feeling hungry again the first thing I do is see how long it's been since I last ate, and if I have any food with me, cause some times it's time for my second snack and I realize I ate it with my first snack. Anyway then I drink a glass of water, sometimes ur body saying it needs more water will feel like hunger. If that then doesn't work and it's either not time for me to eat or I don't have food or I don't have time I chew a piece of gum. I've found especially since I work in a hospital 12 hr shifts I don't always find time to eat. And gum helps me not feel hungry. You have to start somewhere or you're never gonna get there. Baby steps. Or you can do like I did make ur boy friend clean out ur junk stash for work and go spend the $150 in groceries and just force ur self to do it. I also find that if I don't right everything down I cheat. So even if I cheat I write it down. I feel like utter crud when I cheat. But it keeps me honest and hopefully from slipping up too far.

During my supervised 6 months I was just told to do my best. I lost 13lbs and then gained 9 back. Then when I met my surgeon last week he said he makes every one lose so much before he will schedule their surgery. So he told me I have to lose 15 lbs in 6 wks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I had my first appointment with my surgeon to go over everything last week, he gave me 15 lbs to lose in 6 wks at my next appointment. After this past appointment they were supposed to send in my paperwork to insurance it's been a week and insurance still doesn't have it and no one is answering their phones voice mail or email. I'm hoping to hear something Monday or I have a feeling I'm just going to have to go up to the office if they continue to not answer Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Hey sweetie I'm sorry to hear you are still having trouble losing the 15 lbs. I'm on day 2 of my new diet since I waited till after my bday to start. I wanted a piece of cake lol I am also having to break down and buy a new scale cause I'm pretty sure mine moooo'd at me when it read Error. I agree with katiecem time to cut the carbs way back. No soda no junk no bread no Pasta no potatoes no corn watch the fruit you eat they have alot of carbs. Nothing overly processed. Here is what my day today looked like. B: Premier Protein shake 5g carbs S1: 4oz cheddar cheese 4oz 99%lean turkey. 0g carbs L: 1/2 c sloppy joes with cheese on top and 3 waffle fries(baked) 17.5g carbs (I know I was bad) S2: 2 large hard boiled eggs 1.12g carbs D: 2c spinach raw with broccoli slaw shreds raw 2oz shred cheese 4oz beef fajita meat 9.18g carbs Which comes to 32.8g of carbs for the day. And still leaves plenty of room for another shake after dinner if I need something on my way home from work.today also comes in well below my 1800 calorie mark I set for my self. To drink I drink unsweetened tea or Water and when I need some flavor I add a pack of propel zero to my water no calories no carbs no aspartame! Also for a sweet treat i eat sugar free popcicles or sugar free Jello.they have 2g of carbs each. Today is only day two for me tho and im feeling it. Tired and just kinda blah. Im hoping this feeling will pass when i can kick all the cravings.Let me know if you want to talk more hope this helps some. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

At my pre op app we discussed the process. He asked if I had any questions, and then he answered them the best he could. He told me I had to lose 15 lbs for my next appointment in 6 wks and then at that appointment if I had he would schedule the surgery if we got the insurance approval. I also seen the in house nutritionist that visit who gave me my guidelines for my diet for my 6 weeks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I didn't have to have one, but it was something I wanted done just to help pad my case file for insurance Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

So I'm kinda frustrated, I had my appointment a week ago and while I don't expect an approval in that time frame I had expected that my paperwork be at least submitted to my insurance. And to make it worse I've been calling the surgery center who is supposed to handle that and they don't answer their phones ever, return voice mails (i only left one) or emails for that matter. I was finally able to get all my shopping n such done for my low carb diet to start for the next 5 weeks. I waited to start after my birthday. Today is day two and I feel so worn out and tired. No sugar no bread no soda hardly any caffeine. Trying to stay around 30g of carbs a day. Wish I would feel better. When do the cravings go away??? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

What this doesn't go over is Snacks, my nutritionist told me to eat 5-6 smaller meals vs 2-3 normal ones Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Also here is a Vitamin list as well as some exercise guidelines for before n after surgery Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Ok so here is everything I got today from the nutritionist. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Normally I do go alone just really fucking irritating lol I think I just finally snapped cause the nutritionist told me I could have my birthday cake so that was gonna be my little slice of heaven and here she was throwing tortillas in and other cakes, asking if I'd get ice cream. Think I just hit my breaking point with it all Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

So I got to meet my surgeon today and talk a little more about surgery. He told me today that I have to lose 15 lbs by my next appointment in 6 wks. I also seen then nutritionist today for the first time she gave me a meal plan, basically guide lines to fill in as I go. So after my son's football practice I went to the store and my son and my mom tagged along. While we were there I picked up stuff to make my birthday cake next week. It was the only junk I got. The rest was staples to start my diet tomorrow or tweak what I'm already doing. And it just seems like every time I turn around my mom was throwing junk in my basket, saying stuff like ooo ur last night before the big plunge you should get these, which started my son in on it. I did cave and got him a small pack of something I don't like. It took all I had not to go off on her in the store!!! This is hard enough for me already I don't need her help pushing junk food on me. And what gets me is she had her surgery in jan. And so she knows how much of a big deal it is that I stick with this, I don't know why it feels like she keeps throwing things/food in my way. Like when she cooks she knows I can't have fried food or Pasta so what are the two things she always makes... it's just getting so frustrating. Wish there was a way to find common ground, she lives with us I can't kick her out ...... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

So I just found out today after meeting with my surgeon that I have to lose 15 lbs in 6 wks for my next app on Sept 1. If I have lost it by then he will set surgery up for 3 wks after that. So not really excited right now cause I have to wait 2 more months Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Hey I just found out that I have to lose 15 lbs in 6 wks. The nutritionist gave me a basic food guide on what to eat when. Have you seen a nutritionist? What does a normal days worth of food look like at the moment? How active are you? For me the hardest part is the no more soda. I was doing good for so long and I said oh I can have one and now I'm back to trying to kick them. As far as food I try to eat as much Protein as possible and stay between 40-80g of carbs a day. I'm not so good at the carb thing either lol I like potatoes. If you want I can take pics of the papers my nutritionist gave me, so u can see them.

I have a few health issues regarding my legs , swelling, putting edema, diabetic skin lesions, and neuropathy. I plan on asking my surgeon when I meet him tomorrow how many of those things will correct themselves. So if you have any health issues that are caused by ur weight maybe see what will happen once u start to lose. Ask if you will be forced to lose weight before he sets surgery. My surgeon requires it, and that's not from the pre op diet. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Hey so I'm super nervous, I meet my surgeon for the first time tomorrow. Did I mention I'm nervous. I keep worrying that he is going to give me some unachievable amount of weight to lose before surgery. Anyway I'm sitting here making a list of questions to ask the dr tomorrow, and I thought I'd see if yall had any I hadn't thought of yet. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Gl!! I look forward to hearing how it goes! ! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I meant standard for all of his pts. Thanks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I was told when my appointment was made that he will give me a set amount to lose before he will schedule my surgery. I was told it's standard for everyone. Yes I know why it's important to lose as much as u can prior to surgery, which is why alot of Dr's use a liquid diet prior to surgery. And it's not that I'm not serious about losing weight I've just had a hard time getting past the 20 lbs mark. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

A rn where I work had it done, we work on pcu. Icu step down unit. And she went back after 2 wks, she told me she wish she would have waited 3wks at least. I work as a heart monitor tech so I'm hoping to be back behind my screens in 2 wks Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I get to meet my surgeon tomorrow so I'm pretty sure he will put me on a pre op diet, not excited about it either Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Ugh I know I've been done with my 6 months for a whole month now and the wait is killing me lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

So as I hit my 6th month of supervised weight loss with my pcp and had made my appointment to see the surgeon for the first time I'd when I told my boss, so that she would know I'd need time off. I do alot of lifting for my job. But we actually have another rn who went through the surgery. So she went and brought her into out little meeting and we got to talk . It was great cause my boss is super super supportive. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Approved and surgery scheduled on August 1. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Glad to hear u have a date !!! Congrats Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

It's a big change, all of this is normal. I haven't gone through surgery yet, but sometimes I have freak out moments too. This is alot of change from eating, to how you look, to the way you see yourself. But you have worked so hard to get this far and you are gonna do great!!!
