I have been having dizzy spells so I sent a message to my dr. He asked about my bp which I didn't even consider. I take three different bp pills a day. I checked my bp and it was super low (89/56). I stopped taking my meds on friday and my bp is still in control. This evening after work which is usually my most stressful time of day it was 107/78. Yay!! Im praying it stays in a healthy range. :)

Glad you called the dr! Great news about being off the meds!

Hi Junies!! Quick question... I usually eat eggs for Breakfast, but got an early Christmas gift from my honey (a Ninja blender set)!! Anywayyy, this morning I made a big ol' Protein Shake for breakfast, which tasted awesome and packed a nice Protein punch! The problem?? I was STARVING by about 10 Am. I never experience this with eggs. I can go all morning on one egg and some cheese. Anyone else experience this with just having a shake? Wondering if maybe I just need to bulk up the shake a bit with some greens and stuff...

I go through this periodically but not just a protein shake, but i try to drink some Water and go for a walk til lunch or supper, once I get back into fat burn, I'm not hungry no more.

Just when I think I have this whole eating thing under control, I hit the holidays. SIGHS... Dang sausage balls. Bane of my existance. At least I only take one at a time. Then walk all the way back from my office to get another one. Rinse repeat. I don't get this hungry at home when I have such goodies. I am making myself wait a legit amount of time before making the trek back to get another one. I'm trying......

Want to know my goals for the next two weeks?

1. Maintain my weight

2. Log my food.< /p>

3. Have anything I want as long as it is logged.

4. Enjoy myself and not stress if the scale doesn't move

5. Enjoy my family and friends and not worry about if I had an extra bite or something. It's life and we should enjoy all experiences.

6. Most importantly I plan to be easy on myself and not beat myself up or feel like a failure if my diet isnt perfect.

Setting this list has been so freeing for me.

Oh id add drink my Water and get my Protein. Not worry about calories.

I hope this helps. :)

Great! Enjoy yourself and live your life. Maintaining for a couple of weeks might give you a jump start when you start up again too. That's my hope. We've got this!

Happy holidays!! :)

I wholeheartedly agree with this, this is a lifetime commitment, stay with in bounds, make sure you get your protein in, but have that extra bite of something new,( means not a mouth full) and a taste of that, but at the same time if your not hungry why eat extra. I'm just one donut bite away from going into a binge and I don't want that, it happen once and the sleeve stopped it quick and I was miserable for like 35 min. But by all means don't feel guilty of having a meatball, just log your food like it was said above and keep track of what passes by those lips and take that long walk outside, the colder the more calories you burn. You burn more calories in the winter months than you do in the summer so take advantage of it.

      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.
