October 100 Mile Challange!



Recommended Posts

GNC has a ready to drink Protein Shake out for the holidays. pumpkin Spice flavor. My wife went to pick some up today so I will give you a review on it when I have one. Pumpkin pie is my alltime favorite. One of the few foods I will miss eating in mass qty...lol Course, that is why I was as big as I was. That is all behind me now...This is a new chapter in my life and one I am loving!

I'm going to be working on a high-protein no-sugar, no crust recipe for pumpkin pie here shortly so wish me luck.

Up to 9.78 miles for the month! I feel great. Pre-op I couldn't walk one block without being out of breath, now 70 pounds lighter I'm walking across town. I love my sleeve :-D

I know this sounds boring (but I hate to cook)

I've been adding pumpkin purée pumpkin pie spice, nutmeg vanilla extract and stevia to my Greek yogurt and yum!

I have to try that, Laura.

And Gamegirl.. I'll be watching out for yours too!!

Thank you! I learned how when I was 12 years old, so I've been doing it going on 26 years now. It's relaxing to me, but I think I need to look for hobby that's a bit more active to share time with my crochet!

      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.
