Ok, so I have allowed myself a little too much slack these last few weeks and I am motivated to get rid of my carb cravings.

Lil Diva posts a great plan http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/28139-the-basics-boot-camp/ that I want to implement immediately.

Anyone else in?

I need to do it to! It seems like every food out there has some form of carbs, and boy they are easily addicting. I am starting tomorrow what about you? Im in a stall right now have been for a little while, need to give myself a kick in the butt.

Yep, I'm stalled out too but I know it's because I let carbs slowly creep back in. Let's buddy up and do this. 5 days - seafood, chicken, turkey, eggs, green veggies, dairy (no sugar) and 1 gallon of Water each day. Wed. - Sun.

Everyone is welcome to join. I don't drink Protein shakes but if you do and are concerned, probably should watch it. I think the point is to get back to low carb and jump start things again. I am guessing that a gallon of Water will keep you so full that calories won't be too much of an issue from Protein Shakes.

I weighed in this morning at 239.4, hoping to get down 5 pounds. Good luck everyone..Don't forget to check in tomorrow.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.......I have been playing around with chocolate and low fat icecream in the month of February & I need support to get back on track. I have been sitting at 200lb.'s for at least 2 weeks, it is almost like I was scared to get into onederland, I am not sure why, I am so over that now and I am ready to travel to 190, 180, 170, 160!!!!! Yes I am ready

No fruit though? Ok, I will do what it takes, thanks again for throwing this opportunity out there.

Does anyone want to post what they plan to eat tomorrow?

Yes that is a lot of Water.....I am going to keep this in mind. Copied off a Water site.

Have you ever flushed a toilet without water? Unless it has been in an outhouse, you probably haven't. We have internal filtering and elimination systems that keep toxic substances from building up in our body. Water benefits every system of the body and for the sake of visualization, it flushes our human toilet (the bladder and colon), not to mention it hydrates our body and keeps our skin, hair and nails healthy.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
