March sleeves, what does a day of eating look like for you? I have a Protein bar for Breakfast. Fat free hot dog w no bun and low fat cheese stick for lunch. But I am hungry by 2 pm. I snack on cherub tomatoes and yogurt dip. dinner varies greatly. Sometimes i eat a single cheese enchilada. Or a grilled chicken breast. But have only lost forty pounds. Compared to y'all, I am way behind. Do u know how many grams of Protein u get each day? Do u track calories at all?

I'm feeling discouraged. 40 pounds down is ok in 5 months. But, nothing huge. You guys are doing great! Congrats!

It depends on the day for me. I am not as strict as some.

Today breakfast was a vanilla premier rtd Protein shake and a yoplait 100 greek yogurt.

lunch was a small homemade chicken taco. Lots of chicken and lettuce a bit of cheese and small flour tortilla with salsa.

Snack was 1/2 cup of fat free ice cream.

dinner tonite is a stuffed green pepper. I should have leftovers for lunch on tuesday.

I will probably have a plum for snack tonite.

You cant judge yourself by what others have done or are doing. You are you.

My diet is probably carb heavy for some, but I walk 2 miles 5 days a week and on weekends it can be 3 miles with a large dog and a pulling dog. At the same time. Some resistance work there :-)

I do dance videos a couple nights a week, choosing them off "on demand".

So my diet fits me. I found eating 800 calories and below 40 carbs meant i wasnt losing weight and i was tired.

shake things up for a bit and see what happens.

      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.
