Recommended Posts

I need help!!! I am doubting myself today SO bad!!! I feel like I can not do this.

I need someone to kick me in my butt and remind me why I had this surgery.

I am starting this thread for my own personal reasons... but anyone can chime in for a kick in the ass or to tell me what I can do.

I am going to keep track of EVERYTHING I put into my big fat mouth.

I am going to keep track of any exercise I can bring my fat butt to do.

How can you love anything else in life if you do not love yourself? Loving yourself means taking care of yourself, and that is what you are doing this for. Breathe in, breathe out, and live clean in between. And if you have had a bad day eating, guess what?? ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!! You just pick up again tomorrow with a fresh start.

Hang in there girl!! You can do anything!!

I know how you feel, so I'll lecture you and myself at the same time! No normal person makes perfect food choices every single time they get to choose. Think about that. I'm thinking we'd be golden if we gave ourselves an 80% target goal: make good decisions 80% of the time. This may not sit well with the perfection crowd, but I'm not trying to be perfect; I am happy with "progress." Sorry this isn't a kick butt lecture, but it is a sanity-seeking one. You can, will and are "doing it."

I woke up feeling crummy with a cold, but I will survive it. I am really proud of all of the exercising I did yesterday. I wanted to get on the treadmill, but I plugged it in and it was LOUD!!! I will have to use that for when baby is awake!

Food:

Breakfast: strawberry banana fruit smoothie from Sonic~ 435 calories!!! (Yikes) I didn't drink it all, I got full after 2/3 of it, but I am still going to count that as the full calorie amount and I will stay away from it from now on!!! It is fat free and advertised as really healthy, has real fruit in it... but that is too many calories for a drink.

Lunch: Atkins shake ~ ? Cal (will edit later)

Supper: Rotisserie chicken from HEB and a salad?

Exercise:

~I am going to do the treadmill while my baby is awake. As soon as the weather is better I will go outside and walk with her.

~4 flights of stairs

~Thigh Master

~Stomach Crunches

~Cardio Glide

~Floor Exercises

I AM DOWN 1 POUND!!!

SO I AM AT 294.4 THIS MORNING!!!!!

Okay, as for knowing why you did this, make a reverse NSV list. List all the things you CANNOT do, then start looking at your NSVs.

The scale lies.

      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?

      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.
