Less of a basketcase...NSV this past week :)



Recommended Posts

Ok, I've had to do some journaling to stop and change perspective. Instead of focusing on what's ahead of me, to focus on what's happening today and what I've done this week.

1) Stopped drinking alcohol and I have only wanted to have a drink last night when **** hit the fan at home.

2) Stopped drinking soda and didn't miss it, crave it or anything.

3) Have gotten better about watiting at least 30 min between eating & drinking fluids

4) Consistenly getting about 68 oz of fluids each day

5) Reduced my caffiene intake (on 1/2 caff, not extra bold) coffee. I had caffeine withdrawal one day, and I've been fine since

6) Started exercising each day on my bike at home.

7) Started logging my food again and wearing my fitbit

8) Writing in my journal daily about EVERYTHING!

That's a lot ot accomplish and I'm just gonna focus on this for today!

this is an excellent approach. Starting the good habits is the best way to end up successful. To me journaling is the best way to stay on track. If I get sideways I start tracking and it is easy to find your way back to where you want to be. Keep it up even when you don't want to. Even if you have a slip up. Its a good way to keep those things from happening. GREAT JOB!!

      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?

      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.
