Thanks for looking for me Avilla :) I appreciate it!

Today I didn't get all my Water in :rose: but I did pretty good about not snacking. I had wheat toast for Breakfast... lean sliced turkey with cheese and wasabi sauce for lunch... a small potato, carrots and a half cup of roasted chicken for dinner and a half cup of ice cream for dessert.

I know I need more water! and exercise!!!

Good morning Gang!!!

I just wanted to post that as of this morning, I am officially 25% to my weight goal! It has taken 5 months to get there, but now that I am working out and getting near the sweet spot, I hope to accelerate a little bit to losing 2 lbs. a week.

What percentage to goal is everyone else, and how long has it taken you to get there?

Good Morning to all, I have been overwhelmed with work this week and not much time to do any posting. Thanks for the PM to find me! I appreciate your concern and continued support.

My weight is still the same, so I have decided to lean towards doing the South Beach diet to get me jumpstarted. I never get hungry when I follow that diet either.

:heh: The food demons attacked me again last night :phanvan although I did not go as overboard as I have in the past. I had 1 cup sugar free chocolate ice cream and some Peanut Butter and crackers right before I went to bed. Then I found some sugarfree chocolate candy from Russell Stover, had 5 pieces which is a serving but way too much fat in it even though it is sugar free.< /p>

I know that don't sound too bad but my goal is to not eat anything after 7 p.m nightly and I blew it on that. I want to train myself to only have some sugarfree hot chocolate or hot tea before going to bed. I do better on some days than on others.

Food journal for yesterday:

24 oz hot tea with splenda

Weight yesterday: 253 (YIKES):heh:

Breakfast: whey high Protein shake for Breakfast

Snack: Slice cheese

lunch: 1/2 cup fat free refried Beans with 2 tbsp low fat shredded cheese and 2 tbsp light sour cream, taco sauce

Snack: Slice cheese

Supper: South Beach meal bar (high Protein, low carb)

Somewhere between supper and bedtime the 5 pieces of sugarfree chocolate found me.

Snack: 1 cup 2% milk. Later had 4 ritz crackers with 1.5 tbsp regular Peanut Butter. 1 cup sugarfree ice cream (although sugarfree, still too much fat per serving)

Drank Water and caffeine free, sugarfree tea throughout the day.

Good job Mourning Funeral on the loss! That is Great! You inspire me! :clap2:

Looking back at my food journals, it seems like I am getting in too much fat. Therefore I goals for today are:

  • Drink 82 oz water
  • Exercise AT LEAST 30 minutes on treadmill
  • Journal all food intake :hungry:
  • Choose LOW FAT versions of my food
  • Check in here throughout the day for encouragement and inspiration from you wonderful fellow bandsters :rose:

Thanks for your encouargement and for posting daily so we can help each other, you all are the best! :)

      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.
