I agree you look Fab~U.. What exercise plan did you incorporate to your new life style?

I cannot really contribute my weight loss success on exercise. During weight loss, honestly, it was very light. Usually only Pilates. And not a lot of it. I was just lucky and don't really have loose skin. I just started doing squats to firm my butt up a little, but otherwise I'm not really flabby anywhere and I have a pretty tight tummy too. I'm about to start running though, but mostly because I have so much energy now and I need to get it out! I know that sounds silly. But starting running will mostly only be because I want to be in the best cardiovascular health. And by the way, I don't encourage others to exercise as little as I did. I have just always been in the mindset of diet 90% and exercise is 10%. It isn't like that for everyone. I think I just got lucky.

I am interested in your exercise regimen and how many carbs in the wgt loss phase?

Read my above reply about the exercise. As for carbs during weight loss, very little. Max of 25 I'd say. I eat much higher than that now to maintain. My dietician and surgeon are very serious about carbs during weight loss.

Did you have cheat days? Cheat meals?

A cheat day, absolutely not. Why cheat for an entire day? Sounds like a big fat recipe for disaster. :) Cheat meals, yes. Not many, and I made up the calories elsewhere. I did have treats, but healthier treats. Not a Snickers bar. :)

Jenny, you look amazing! I wanted to say thanks because you were a huge help and inspiration to me on my journey. We share the same surgeon and you were so great about answering questions.

I am thrilled to say things went ridiculously smoothly. I'm a little over 3 weeks out and I've lost 24.4 pounds.

From one shortie to another, thank you so very much!

      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.
