JUST WONDERING IF I AM THE ONLY ONE



Recommended Posts

You know, I just saw this show on Dr OZ not that long ago about diets for different body shapes. It was pretty interesting. I do not have much time to watch Dr OZ much at home, but like to catch up on an episode or two when visiting my folks.

Here is a link to the body shape diet information:

http://www.examiner.com/article/pear-shaped-apple-shaped-or-boxy-dr-oz-s-body-type-diets-speed-up-metabolism

For pear shape, Dr OZ recommends high Fiber food like edamame, whole wheat Pasta and figs. I do not know how well whole wheat Pasta is going to work for you (or any of us for that matter), but you should be able to do the edamame and figs. I think one should be careful about fig because it is high carb, but it may actually help you because of the pear body shape.

Let me know what you think.

I'm normally hour glass shape, but something happened during this time of losing weight. Maybe, it's my age and everything just headed south

I have always been bottom heavy. My surgeon made sure to let me know that whilst weight carried on the hips is healthier that stomach fat it is also harder to shift. I've lost 70lbs in 6 months with gym in there too and have shrunken nicely on top but my but is still an Australian 12 so it's curvey but it has shrunken from an 18 so I am happy with its progress but I'm 10 lbs from goal but I am getting too thin up top so I'm reevaluating if I will get to goal or just work on toning the ample bottom

I'd be sooo content to be that size! I am 14 on the bottom but still wear a 2x top!

I'm only 4' 11 & 1/2" so I think I should be no bigger than a 7.

      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.
