A Little Discouraged...suggestions?



Recommended Posts

I agree on the counting calories. It adds up so fast! I would also try some other type of exercise and weight lifting to mix it up.

If you're not weighing your Protein I would start doing that. You'd be surprised how much you're eating without really realizing it. My doctor says to have 3 ounces of solid protein and half a cup of low fat low calorie vegetables and possibly half a cup of natural fruit. I agree you're doing a lot of cardio just going to work everyday. Your body however it could be really used to that exercise and you'll need to find something else to do outside of work. I'm a big fan of both lap swimming and Water aerobics. If you're going to go swimming I highly recommend it waterproof mp3 player you can find them on Amazon.< /p>

I am a fan of the pool too. I do 3-5 visits a week to the poo for an hour of Water aerobics or strength training. Even on days I do that, I add 30 minutes of stationary bike. I exercise an hour every day. I also bought a rubber band to do some strength training at home. I find that you have to mix your exercise up and your food. I log everything.

It seems that your body has adjusted to your routine. Try Jillian Michaels "30 shred". I am sure you will get results with that. Good luck and congrates on the current weight loss. Looking forward to being at that mark one day.

      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.
