Michelle's Accountability Thread



Recommended Posts

I am officially starting my "Back on Track" plan tomorrow. But wanted to post all my bad habits so that I could remind myself what "not" to be doing.laugh.gif

1) I've been forgetting Breakfast, or grabbing sugary carbs to eat on the run.

Fix: Set out Protein Shake and sliced fruit to grab on the go. No more sodas from the gas station.

2) Snacking on carby crap. NO MORE. I will pack and bring my meals to work, errands, etc. Protein first then fresh sliced veggies (I can't stand mushy veggies.)

3) My worst habit of all....Snacking in bed at night while watching tv. I am going back to just sipping herbal "Sleepy Time " Tea while in bed. Or, I will get up and fold clothes while watching my nightly show.

Okay, this is my list of dirty secrets. LOL

Oh yeah... 4) I have not been exercising one bit. I am going to start using that gym membership I pay for every month.sad.gif

Yes you can do it, and welcome aboard!

I think knowing our downfalls can only be a good thing in helping avoid them!

Good luck.

Today was a much better day as far as eating goes. I haven't had any soda, and only one carby snack. Not a bad start. I have been trying to keep busy, to quell my urge to snack out of boredom.

I am down 2 lbs this morning, which Im pretty sure is Water weight.rolleyes.gif

      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.
