4. Start/continue eating like a model bandster

5. Kick my Otis Spunkmeyer (cookies) habit...clawd I luv that man

First of all Connie I am so proud of you. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

According to my Doc I do not have to do a pre op diet but he wants me to walk 2 times a days as far as I can, catch my breath and do it again. So that is my new goal to walk as far as I can 2 times a day. Today and yesterday I had to go downtown Baltimore and park my car several blocks from where I had to go. Today my GH was with me and he had to help me walk to keep up with him. Used to be he had to keep with me. I am so out of shape. But I will get there. :confused: :confused: :)

ok, my goal is to go from a size 14 (which I am now) to a size 12 by my date in 3 weeks...mostly I will accomplish this as long as I can stick to my food regimen and not eat past 7:30 >darn those late night cravings< I am feeling very stuck and low, but that is why I am doing low carb for three weeks to bust through this plateau - it is too easy for me to get discouraged, but I am trying to stick it out

Hello ladies.... So how is everyone doing in trying to acheive their goals????

T- How's the snacking and exercise.

LSasha- How's the restriction and stuck food episodes? Are u losing 2-3 a week, how about those Otis Spunkmeyers???

Stocky, have u been taking those Vitamins and supplements and are you on target with your pre-op weightloss?

Connie- You got through your liquid phase... YEAH FOR CONNIE

BarbaraC- How's that walking coming along?

Carrie- U ready for that date?

You ladies have wonderful goals, keep them in focus and you will soon reach them!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I didnt post a goal, cus I wasnt sure exactly what my first goal shoud be. But being inspired by everyone on this board, my goal is to learn to eat more healthy and enjoy it. I have started switching my eating habits, but I still need to learn to really enjoy it. :)

My next goal is to get back into all those clothes I bought back in 8/2005. I wasnt that long ago, I cant beleive in such a short time I out grew them... well I am hoping to get back into them in the next couple of months... shoot, I dont have anything to wear to work!

Still waiting on that restriction but eating right..hopefully I'll get some soon. No more stuck episodes and I've never had a PB or slime.

I had 4 on 3/3 (day of fill) and I havent had any since. I took those Girl Scout Cookies home and stared at the box for 5min convincing myself to eat just one(yeah right). So I open the samoas, smelled them and ran them over to my neighbor. I will not be purchasing anymore just to sniff...yes I too survived Girl Scout season.

I'm averaging 10lbs a mth w/minimum exercise, so I'm content. I've kicked up the exercise a notch and I'm excited to see whats in store scale wise. Oh and I no longer have a muffintop on my size 22's.

      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.
