Any Advice?

[kisersassy 369]

Ok so I have until the 24th to lose 5 or more pounds and does anyone have any ideas how I can achieve this. I was going to try doing a liquid diet for a few days to help starting today and I guess I must be hypoglycemic because after one cup of coffee and a Protein Drink I started feeling really shaky and sweaty and felt out of control so I hurried and made another 8 ounce Protein drink and it didn't help so ended up eating a sandwich. So after feeling like a failure because I couldn't even go a day I ended up eating 2 slices of pizza and 5 chicken wings. HELP!!!!

What you should do is figure out what part of the day you are hungriest

And eat a meat and vegetable meal

If you can't do only liquid eat Protein

tuna, chicken breast, eggs etc.

I couldn't do straight liquid either so I eat Protein for lunch I lost 38 pounds before surgery

Keep working at it that's all that matters

God bless

I will try. It seems though I am always hungry. Especially now I quit smoking and after the h pylori treatment.

And thank you. I think I am going to go buy me a scale because now I only know my progress at monthly weigh in

After I quit smoking I gain 15 pounds in one month. I was eating like no tomorrow.

[kisersassy 369]

Yeah I gained 7 last month so now I can't gain any and have to lose it I am scared to death of getting denied because of gaining during this 7 month insurance stuff. The nurse practitioner said it is normal and she will make sure to note about quitting smoking but I have to lose 5 pounds this month then 3-4 in October which is my last appointment before sending info for approval

Good luck to you. I did it because I was afraid of dying from cancer & leaving two special need kids with out a mom. It had nothing to do with surgery. After I was tired of gaining weight & being fat I decided on WLS.

I am selfish because I quit to save money and for the surgery. My surgeon says as long as you quit at least 2 weeks before surgery. But I wanted to save money and do it sooner so that I could use the 7 months to change my bad habits. Like smoking and coffee. These 2 things substained me for years and years. I only would eat dinner and snack at night. Never would I eat Breakfast or lunch and it has been hard to change that habit at first. But now goooood God!!! All I want is food and more food and gets even worst a week before that time of month. I feel I am losing a losing battle. One of the things I do look forward too after surgery is not feeling hungry

Some people claim to be hungry after surgery. That's not my case. I might get hungry 3/7 days a week. I do now eat 3 meals a day and try not to forget my Vitamins.

I'm no phycolegist but may be you just had a anxiety attack over losing the 5 pounds that and quitting smoking.

Protein didn't help but food did.?

Again I'm no doctor just play on on the Fourm. Just a thought.

PS what use to give us comfort before surgery will Repel you after surgery for a little while

Good luck

I find that if i drink Water it keeps the hunger at bay ... I start my morning with about a liter and a half ( just under 50 oz i think) i sit down with a jug and make myself drink it. Not only it makes me feel full , also i find myself thirstier than if i dont drink , so i end up drinking alot more Water. Water will help u loose too...

And i end up doing alot of sport too !!! -- running to pee ever 5 minutes!! :-) .

But dont drink alot of water the day of your weigh in as it will make you gain.

Good luck fingers crossed

[kisersassy 369]

I will try the Water. I do plan yo discuss the hypoglycemic thing with my doctors because it has been happening a lot more then usual. With diabetes in my family it is possible that it is a pre diabetic sign
