What are the 10 do's and don't's so I can get back on track?



Recommended Posts

I had to have my portal replaced three days ago. Apparently I had no restriction for over two years and did not pay attention due to personal tradegies. I lost my husband to stomach cancer and my father to pancreatic cancer almost to the day the next month. I've neglected my health and I need to get back on track before my next visit for a fill.

I have been watching what I eat and excercise about thirty minus Mon-Friday. Saturday and Sunday about two hours. I belong to a fitness club and enjoy it.

Please help, all responses would be appreciated!

I am so incredibly sorry for your losses :( ((hugs))

I can only offer tips based on what works for me, but maybe they can help you too. My "biggies" for losing weight and staying on track are:

  1. Tracking and logging the calories for every piece of food I put in my mouth. It's the only way I can be certain I'm not going over my daily calorie allowance and it also holds me accountable to what I eat.
  2. Never eating more than a cup of food per meal
  3. Eating at least 60g of Protein a day
  4. Drinking TONS of Water. I sip either Water or green tea pretty much all day long.
  5. I don't eat if I'm not physically hungry, even if that means skipping a meal or eating at weird times.

Best wishes to you, you can do this!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
