Congrats on your 100+ lbs..

Tips/Suggestions

#1 how's your restriction??

Go back to the beginning

Do the 5 day pouch test (google it)

Keep a food Diary - Keep calories between 800-1200 and vary them daily (weigh & measure food to make sure of your portions)

Exercise 4-5 days a week - Cardio & Weights - you need to work w/some weights if you aren't already as the more muscles you have the more calories you burn just breathing :0) your resting metabolisam is higher if your body has more muscles..

Eat healthy foods that you like - if you are hungry eat some extra veggies.. Remember this isn't a diet but a lifestyle change

I know some pple who's bf is their most important meal - they have a big one - where as I eat lite for bf & lunch - as dinner is my main meal ..

You can do this - you got the 100+ off - so you can get the other 25 off - it might not come off as fast - but you can get them off..

Hugs Janet

Congrats Indigo! I am taking it looks like 3 years to complete my journey if I keep staying on track to lose a total of 200 lbs but I know with my little band friend I will get there. Can't wait until my 3rd bandiversary, the 2nd one slipped by in a flurry of crazy times at my job and I didn't really take time to Celebrate. Now I had another .4 cc fill this week and restriction is back and I now realize I needed something months ago. So, I keep on plugging away. It is a lifetime commitment!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
