Oct. 15, 2012 Sleeve Date



Recommended Posts

Saw my surgeon today...kind of discouraged. My weight loss is good, but he wants me to increase my calorie intake to 1000! I'm at 800 now. I don't want to...I'm afraid I'll stop losing weight. He also wants me to increase my Protein to 80 grams. I've been doing about 60. I'm so scared it won't work! I'm also sick of food. It's so limited what protein I can eat. I don't like eggs, pork, turkey, can't have soy or beef. Tired of chicken, fish, cheese, yogurt & Beans. He wants me to go back on the Protein Drinks. Yuck!! It feels like a step backwards.

Any food suggestions?

Try Protein powder and oatmeal splash of water- make a pancake with that

That doesn't sound too bad. The pancake I tried was gross.

I had a rough night last night. Family holiday dinner and SWEETS galore. I mean, it was ridiculous! My drug of choice is Cookies and there were literally six different kinds and it took every iota of willpower and determination not to indulge.

I hope that at some point in the future I can be an eat-one-cookie-and-be-fine kind of girl, but I'm not that girl today. It would've been like an alcoholic saying, "I'll just have one drink."

I was feeling sorry for myself last night, but I'm proud of myself today. :)

Good for you for resisting. I have not done so well. I had cookies, chocolate, carbs of all kinds. I had hoped to get sick, but it didn't happen. My mother-in-law even gave me chocolate for a Christmas gift. Can you say sabotage?! I'm a bit worried now that this won't work for me if I keep going down this path. I have to get back on track.

wow you've lost almost 70 pounds in 2 1/2 months! That is GREAT!

I need to update my weight but I'm just now reaching 50 lbs lost since Oct 15th. I have eliminated carbs and sugar and only eat lean meats and cheese with V8 for my veggies as Breakfast and evening Snacks.< /p>

Guess I should have included a quote but I was looking at page 13...

I did okay during the holidays. I had a piece of Savannah Taffy and then gave the rest away at work.

I have started drinking coffee again - Soy latte is my drug of choice with splenda. I try to do decaff during the week and indulge in caffiene on the weekend.

I had wine for the first time. I drank 1 glass and felt a buzz but it wasn't a happy buzz like I use to get. It made me exhausted and my muscles ached. No hangover and it was gone quickly... but I find that I don't like drinking like I use to. It isn't enjoyable to me.

      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.
