On An Out State Trip And Not Doing Well



Recommended Posts

I am currently in NYC and unable to stick to a healthy, nutritious diet. A little worried about putting on weight. Can't wait to get home.

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble =( Is it the lack of choices that's making it difficult or the lack of control? If it's the control, maybe you can write stuff down, if that will help you keep accountable. If it's the choices - are there any farmer's markets you could stop by and get some fresh fruit at least?

I am on a training week at one of the University campuses, and the choices are not conducive to the sleeve diet. When we arrived, they gave us a weeks worth of meal tickets for the student cafe. Thank you for the writing suggestion--I really think that will be helpful.

I travel a lot for work and take my magic bullet with me everywhere. I also pack pouches of tuna fish and I pick up grape tomato's at the market. That gets me thru 2 meals a day and I usually go out for dinner and order somthing with grilled or baked chicken.< /p>

You're in NYC...Spend a few bucks and find yourself some grilled chicken!!! Even if you eat on campus, I am surprised there is no chicken, tuna, or even a taco without all the fattening fillers!

NYC has whole food store I think around 23rd street. and they have healthy food to eat. See if you are near by. I I would say go with Soup. it would be better then anything else.

Trader joes on 14 th st there are a lot of health food choices, including the farmer's market on union square. (my daughter goes to NYU)

Gonna ditto a lot of what others said- there are lots of healthy options here in NYC. Go to the Whole Foods site and look up store location-there are at least a half a dozen through out that city. Also restaurants are pretty accomadating here if you ask for a special order when eating out. I know it might be tougher to eat right when on vacation but your in a very health conscious city so trust me there are lots of good choices you can make. Good luck!

      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.
