Off site for awhile...and my fitness pal!



Recommended Posts

I was sick for almost 4 weeks, my husband just had his tonsils out on Monday and my son was taken to the ER today. Needless to say it has been very crazy in our house. Sadly I have kind of lost touch with VST but now I am back. Probably about a year ago I signed up for My fitness pal but never actually used it. I looked into it a little more this past week and started actually using it and I love it. Unfortunately being sick has kept me at a steady weight, which is better then gaining I suppose. Plus I was on steroids for 21 days so all in all I consider no gain a really good thing! I was able to do one yoga class and I will be slowly doing more exercise this week and am hoping to get back to the gym and yoga at my regular pace by the end of October. I am looking forward to doing better tracking of my food and exercise with MFP. If you are on MFP and want to "friend" me my name is dawnmich! Hope all is well :)

      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.
