The All-Canadian October Challenge!!!



Recommended Posts

Here we go, this should be the official one!

(I hope that's ok, and the other one was originally just supposed to be a 'should we do another challenge?" thread?)

I would LOVE to make 8lbs this month.... so that's my goal. Making me 209.8lbs.

My goal is also to join a gym this month, hopefully VERY soon. As soon as I'm feeling 100% better from my bronchitis.

So, everyone, I hope you don't mind reposting your goals for the month ? :)

Sounds good.:biggrin1: I probably won't get my first fill until the end of the month, but maybe this will keep me from cheating on the pureed and mushie diets.:)

confession...had pizza and cake today:( (my daughter's 10th birthday). I'm so bad...supposed to be having pureed stuff. Now I just feel guilty.:hurt

OK, this is the same as I'm posting on the June thread: 1200 cals, 64 oz Water and at least 20 min exercise per day. And for this I hope to lose 8 lbs, not a measly 5 like I did in Sept. And I've started the month off with a bang. It's 6 pm and I've done NO exercise today. However, tomorrow is a brand new day.

:) Yoda, I don't think I could handle once a week..It is stressful just thinking about it. I'd only be able to do that if I forgot my scale at home when I went on vacation! The times when I have not weighed myself everyday I have been out of control with my eating and it is easier for me to be in denial and binge.

It helps me be more in control and accountable for everything I put in my mouth.:car:

Okay....I have another goal too.

Drink 8 cups of Water a day...minimum.

Very difficult lately (see Yoda's Yammerin's!).

      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.
