Recommended Posts

Tonight I had 3 chicken "nuggets" with some mustard. I had some egg salad for lunch today that didn't sit well, I think it's probably because it wasn't made with lowfat mayo

And that 1 fried chicken leg was 24 grams of protein and 6 grams of carbs. Thats really good. Mostly i eat rotisserie or baked so this was different

It was my first subway and my last for a good while. I do have to agree with you on the bread. Even if it was wheat bread it wasn't 100% whole wheat.

I know it's hard not to get some sort of carbs in with meals. Does anyone know how many carbs we are actually suppose to have a day like a total? They preach about Protein and making sure we get no less then 60 grams a day but my Nut never said anything about carbs

U could always have them scoop the bread out so it's not as thick... If u know what I mean

Guys. Gals.

We need to remember something. Our pouch is simply one tool in our bag of tricks.

There are two other others. One is our food choices, type and quantity, and our third is exercise.

We can ruin our "tool" by putting too much in it and stretching it.

We need to commit to changing our food lifestyle permanently for long term sucess. That means strictly restrict our carbs...and yes, they taste good. But skinny tastes better.

We severely need to restrict fried foods, bread, rice, potatoes, Desserts, empty carbs. You WILL lose weight regardless what you do the first 18 months afrer surgery. But if you don't create new habits now, despite the smaller stomach, your wls will fail you.

If you do fried foods. ..and even when you take off the breading...the food you consume is saturated with the grease it was cooked in. A diet rich in low fat Protein and fruits and veggies will be tough to go overboard on the calories. Its not as tasty. ..but its so much healthier for you.

      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.
