Dinora7 39 Posted January 24, 2013 I also need help I'm 6 wks away from my one yr and I have not reached my goal I eat carbs and crap and feel like I'm hungry 24/7 I have lots of Water on most days at least 64 oz and have stopped going to gym, I know I'm setting my self up to fail maybe we can share and support each other. This week I decided to stop drinking for a month and see how it goes. I feel I've been sabotaging my diet with alcohol. I've completely stopped logging food and I need to get back to Protein packed diet, I keep saying tomorrow... Tomorrow I'll go to the gym suggestions?

Chelle68 27 Posted January 24, 2013 You can also add Unjury unflavored Protein to sugar free hot chocolate or any flavor to coffee. Just make sure it is not over 140 degrees or it will clump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomorrow I'll go to the gym suggestions?[/quote'] There are a lot of empty calories in alcohol, so I'm sure giving it up will help. I have also noticed that if I eat carbs, I feel hungry. I really believe that carbs create hunger, not curb it. Protein, Fiber, and fat will make you feel full. I also suggest reminding yourself the reasons you had for losing the weight. Write them down and say them over and over to yourself. I'm not an expert, but that has helped me get back on track before. Sleeve date: Oct. 15.

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted February 3, 2013 For pre sleeve folks, my advice is to try and kick carbs, sodium and sugar habits about a month or two before surgery. This will make the 2 week pre sleeve diet oh so much easier and the transition into sleeve land as a post op easier as well. It is hard. I will not deny that. However, you will be glad to take care of head food issues before rather then after when you are also dealing with other physical or emotional issues. It takes about 3 weeks to form a new habit.

rsmont77 101 Posted February 3, 2013 I upped my exercise and Protein to 90+ grams a day, I really try to get 100+, but sometimes end up at 94-96. I drink 2 GNC total lean shakes a day 50g and eat the other 45-50 in foods. When I want a snack, I have cucumber, green olives, cherry tomatoes or jack links beef Jerky, they are great and curb the appetite. If I want sweets, I add mio to my Water or hot tea and that helps. It has helped me stay on track. I am almost 6 weeks out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
