16 Days was the day good or bad?



Recommended Posts

I woke up around 12 pm took all my pills/vitamins as soon as i woke up.

At about 2 ate a hot dog with shredded cheese [cut it up into small bites and chewed really well] Everything went down good no problems.

Drank a lot of Water in between then at about 8 pm felt a little hungry so went out and got my self a small wendys chili. Still haven't finished it, No problems going down.

Feel really proud simply because i really starting to learn when enough is enough and stop i also am stopping from being so scared of food. I can't stay on Protein Shakes forever i just can't handle the taste sorry. I started this journey at 414.5 i weighed my self today i am now 379. :D Just wondering if today was good or bad.

If you ate 2 hot dogs and some chili you didn't come anywhere close to making your min Protein goal. I think most on here are supposed to get a min of 60 protein to stay healthy. I do eat hot dogs too...but not very often. They are higher calorie and low protein. I buy a rotiserie chicken and eat on that for several meals a week. 2 oz is something like 43 calories and 14 protein. Hot dogs have around 120 calories and only 4-6 protein. I also am a low carber so I dont do Wendys chili. I would start a my fitness pal account, if you dont already have one. This will keep track of all of the food that you eat and let you know where you are nut wise for the day. Did you recieve a plan to follow from your doctor? Are you meeting those goals daily? Good job knowing when you are full... And good luck with your journey!

      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.
