Fast Day

It was a gargantuan effort, and deeply psychological, but I made it - I finished the day with only 633 cals, phew!! Every single episode of the shows I watched from my hard drive had food scenes! Food was frickin' everywhere!! I ended up not finishing the Protein Shake and having the double portion of beef Jerky.< /p>

Today is a feed day and for Breakfast I had about 4 oz of egg white/ham/sausage/cheese/peppers/onions scramble and a half a raisin bagel with an oz of cream cheese. For lunch I will probably have a big salad with chicken (if they have it) and some caesar dressing and dinner .... who knows, whatever non-fried Protein they have!

I am ridiculously proud of myself. Would be even prouder if I had managed to go to the gym this morning, but I will do squats and planks and sit ups in my room tonight. :)

Fast day. 11:30 am. Nothing yet. Hungry. :).

Trying to hit that 16 hour window at noon before eating.

Georgia, 16 hour window? What is that? Yesterday was my fast day and as per usual it was a breeze - until work was over and I was alone in my room, then it became a test of will. I only caved slightly, having a tbsp of PB and some dried apple rings, bringing my cals to 682 instead of the under 600 I ought to have done but oh well.

Did legs yesterday in the gym and am *OW* waddling like a cowboy today, whimpered when I sat down at my desk!

I have discovered that I can't even begin to get in the Water on feed days, anybody else notice this? So, because I'm doing ADF, my fast days have become my hydration days. Anybody else?

According to some studies a 16 hour fasting window is best And then you eat most of your calories during an eight hour window

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
