Ok I definitely could've done better today. Went to dinner with family tonight and ate junk. Calorie wise I did ok and got my Protein in but the food was not healthy. I felt hungry almost all day. I think I may need a fill as much as I hate to admit it.

Breakfast - 6oz yogurt, 8 almonds

lunch - 1 small pita with 3/4 turkey burger with guacamole and veggies on top

dinner - 2tbsp dip with 5 tortilla chips, 1 chicken wing, cookie with 1/2 scoop ice cream, 10 fries... Ugh

Snacks - 1 Protein Bar, 1 nectarine, 1/2c grapes

Exercise - 30 min elliptical, 15 min weights

Struggling with head hunger today. I'm having a hard time with self control. Went 60 cal over my cal goal today but did exercise. Any tips for keeping my mind off food?? I am terrified of gaining or back sliding when I came this far.

Going to my friend's Bridal shower tomorrow. Of course we are going to an amazing restaurant for it - ugh. Well my plan is to eat a very healthy breakfast and lunch, and do my couch to 5k before the bridal shower. I will probably just have a piece of cake and a couple bites off my friends plate, then eat a healthy dinner or snack at home. Try to get in lots of Water.

Breakfast - 1c kashi Cereal with soy milk

lunch - flax pita sandwich with Peanut Butter, 1/3 banana, 3 carrots

dinner - 3oz baked salmon, 1/3c salad with raspberry vingarette, 3 pita chips

Snacks 1 - 6oz yogurt, 1/3 sliced banana, 1tsp almonds

snack 2 - 6oz yogurt

Exercise - 35 min elliptical

Just doing the best I can till my visit next month. I am anxious to see if I can lose a couple lbs or at least maintain. I think about food 24/7 these days and get hungry more often. But I am determined not to over eat and not to eat unhealthy this week (except the weekend when I have planned to be out with friends/family). I have fought too hard to just give up.

How are you doing Teara?

Breakfast - 6oz skim milk, 1c kashi cereal

lunch - 1 lean cuisine egg rolls with salsa, 5 carrot sticks

dinner - 1 bbq chicken breast, 1/4c roasted sweet potato and mushrooms (yummy)

Snacks - 6oz yogurt with sliced 1/4 banana, 1 Luna bar with 1/2c fruit

Exercise - 30 min elliptical

Wow it's been a while. Just checking in to say I'm doing alright and I hope that you are too.

I've come down with the flu so I've been in bed two days straight, literally. My goal is to go for a walk tomorrow.

      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.
