Well, Thursday is over officially now...

I made my Water intake, with some to spare...5 liters (165oz), but went over on calories when I had 12 chicken wings for dinner. I logged everything, but I can't seem to come up with a definitive way to log the wings, I estimated each wing to have one ounce of meat for now. I will try and figure something out for those later (if anyone wants to help, these were small wings and drums broiled only and salted to taste). I will post my goal for tomorrow in the morning.

My challenge for Friday is to not ask my son for a bite of his carryout food, which is what I do so that I don't have to get a meal but still get the satisfaction of just having a very small taste. Friday is usually the day I don't really cook so we shall see. Also, ride my elliptical for a minimum of 20 minutes.

ACK!!!!

Birthday in the office.

Ok, this is going to be tough...we are a small office and there will be CAKE!

I will not eat cake

I will not partake in the eating of take out food of any kind (my pre-measured meal is just as good as the pizza or chinese food they will order).

I definitely won't eat any of the GIANT BOX OF candy that just arrived...people are cruel.

I will drink my Water.

I will walk, walk, walk and then walk some more.

More Protein....less carbs nuff said.

OK...I held my own through lunch (I ordered the lunch for everyone) and since it was single Desserts just ordered one less. I ate my delicious carefully measured Peanut Butter on pita and ignored their mexican food. I even sat quietly while they ate THEIR CAKE IN FRONT OF ME...CAKE..I LOVE CAKE. The hardest part was they realized there was one less piece and all started offering me their cake, parts of their cake...it was like some weird torture. I passed on the cake (Delicious brownie cake with chocolate frosting, whipping cream and some kind of hot melted fudgey center) and instead had a nice Jello pudding cup.

503-250...well done you! It must have been the hardest thing to resist a cake like that and so :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: very, very, well done!

I completed my challenge for today. Water and exercise was fine. I didn't go to Mother in laws for lunch so avoided the fries...but we went out as a family for dinner to a souvlaki place. I didn't touch a thing (I'd eaten tuna before we left) and just drank my water. I don't have a problem with others eating and I can't but this is one of my favourite Greek foods and the smell of the food was killing me. Still, I did it! No more outings planned for a while - phew!

Challenges for Saturday are about the same...water, exercise and food choices. Am staying home so 'should' be easy enough.

Goal to measure portions- thumbs down

Goal to spread drinking liquids out through day- thumbs up

So I'm 50/50.

Tomorrow- no Weight Watchers Sherbert and Ice Cream bars (I can't stop at one) and measure portions!

I managed to meet all my goals and act like a sensible human for the day, despite the evil chocolate taunting.

As far as ice cream...try the popsicle brand popsicles. 20 calories for the lifesavers style ones...just had two for dessert.

I still need to bring up my Protein levels, so that's this weekends goal. I am going to the aquarium with packed measured lunch and I will be walking all day.

Congratulations goal makers....keep up the hard work.

I med goals 1, 2, and 4, but did not get to #3 before my company came.

Didn't have goals for today as the site was down -

I made tuna salad earlier this morning. I had a shake when I got up and then some tuna salad before I went running errands and then I had some more a little while ago. It was SO good! Although I feel like I probably ate too much. I'm not miserable, I just thought I went past satisfied and into the "full" zone.

I go back to work tomorrow, so my daily goals while at work will be:

1) Drink lots of Water

2) Get up and walk around the halls more

3) Take the treck down to the main office once a day to check my mail

4) Only have a snack if I am REALLY hungry.

      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.
