Do you need a little motivation to get "Back to Basics" with your eating? Well, come Monday I'm going to practice what I preach and I'm going to kick my own butt with my food! I've been doing ok, but usually about once a month I need to eat really clean for a few days to make my stomach go back down and to flush out any extra fluids I'm holding on to. I'm going to do my Basics Bootcamp. If you'd like to join me or would just like to follow along, you're more than welcome! I'd like a little company!! But... my only request is if you say you're gonna do it... DOOO ITTTT!! ;-) I will hold you accountable for sure.

If you're not sure what my Basics Bootcamp is, you can read up on it here: http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/28139-the-basics-boot-camp/

I will be logging all of my routines and foods at My Fitness Pal. It is set to "friends only", you can find me at the link in my signature line.

YESSSS lets do it. I already started this morning anyway because this week I've been out of control. Last week I was a saint and it started with a little reward but got out of hand. So thank you my dear and hold me accountable.

Okay it's on! I will log everything at My fitness Pal!

So, during the boot camp, you don't eat any red meat?

No I don't. No beef and no pork either. I find these tend to make me hold onto fluids, however if anyone doesn't have this same effect and want to skew the rules to fit their needs, by all means! Everyone is different. :)

I am so in! I'm actually starting tomorrow, Sunday because my pre-op diet starts on Friday and I want to get the full five days in. I have been in a stall for the past 2 weeks even though I have been watching what I eat and exercising almost daily. Next week I'm going to mix it up with an aerobics or Zumba class in addition to the elliptical.

      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.
