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. :)

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

      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.
