Hope you are all doing well

I gained 6lbs since a week as a half ago. WTF. I am pretty disappointed and also a bit confused since my calorie intake has not increased much. But I know my portions have creeped up and also the types of foods. Appt is on Wednesday so I may need another fill. For now, I am cutting out my daily snack and going leaner.

Breakfast - 6oz yogurt, 8 almonds

lunch - 1/2 Protein Bar, 1/2 banana sliced, 2tsp sliced almonds in 6oz yogurt

dinner - 3oz grilled lamb (on skewer), 1/3c mixed green salad with feta and cucumber sauce, 3 pita chips with hummus

Exercise - 30 min elliptical, 15 min weights

Hello Daisy

Sorry about the no show for awhile I haven't even been on to read up on everyone!

Since I had Fluid taken out I have gained 12 pounds back ugh! I just went NUTS!!!! FOOD! I mean if it was there I ate it! Shoved it in my mouth everything I completely lost control! So now I'm

Slowly taken back control and down 5lbs and now I have to lose 7 more pounds until I am where I was before I had some Fluid taken out. I honestly don't think I'm going to have fluid put back in I'm going to go until my next appointment before I decide if I need more fluid. I need more self control when life gets crazy and not just let go!

Daisy you have been doing great! Dont let 6 little pounds set back the leeps and bounds you have came! Remember where we started and how far we came!

Breakfast oatmeal and yogurt

lunch spinach and tuna salad with banana peppers and feta cheese

dinner Tomato basil Soup and fish crackers

Hi Lose_It! Great to see you back here.

Every day, the temptation to slip back into old habits is there. I feel it too and I know what you're going through. I am really proud of you for getting down those 5 lbs and I know the 7 remaining lbs will come as you continue to work at it. How's your exercise going? Thank you for your encouragement.

I lost my job today. Wednesday will be official last day. I was a temp, but they kept me 2 extra months and told me I had the permanent job. Then they tell me they have decided to go with someone else. I feel blind sided, and depressed. All I can do is try to re-group over the next couple weeks and see the positive in it. More time to focus on my health and exercise.

Breakfast - 6oz yogurt

lunch - 1 lamb kabob, 1/2c mixed green salad with 1tbsp feta, 1tbsp tzatziki sauce

snack - 1 Protein questbar

dinner - arnolds sandwich thin with 2 tbsp reduced fat Peanut Butter, 1/2 banana sliced

liquids - 8oz milk, 16oz hot tea, Water

No exercise today.. back to it tomorrow, and going in for a possible fill.

Hi everyone! Have a great holiday, remember to treat yourself to the foods you really love, and skip the ones you don't. And of course stick to our bandster portions.

I went in for my monthly check up today. No fill needed.. still in the green zone and down 8 lbs since last month. My doctor is very happy with my progress. However, she thinks I may have acid reflux due to the severe metallic taste I've been having in my mouth. For now she wants me to just watch it and take tums. If it continues we will try prilosec.

Today was my last day at my job so.. back to being unemployed. pretty bummed.

      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.
