HELP! HELP! Not doing well with weight loss..

[JewelJ 29]

Dear fellow sleevers.... I had Surgery on Feb 4th. I have lost 15 to 18lbs.. This is where I teeter.... up one day, down two the next day. I'm watching the Water intake, and the Protein count. I seem to be always hungry... I grab cottage cheese and carrots...i'm always trying to grab something to keep the hunger away....... Maybe some of you can give me some ideas.. I did see the Nut... and started keeping a journal. But the days get busy, and hard to keep up. You see i'm a caretaker for my Husband... who has Alzheimer's. I have to feed him, and he seems to be eating all the time. NO, I do not touch his snakes, but I always make sure he has them, so he does not have me getting things for him. It has been very hard..... I do not get alot of movement to burn cal.. I'm loaded with arthritis. I do walk two dogs twice a day, and what ever I do around the house. I'm going to start a thi-chi class. I have done that before, and I loved it..I also ordered the SPIN GYM... which is for working out the upper body, right from a chair.. So if any of you can help, or give some ideas.. Like what to start the day with, so not to be HUNGRY all the time. Thank you my friends..... JewelJ

Hello!

I always start my day with a Health Wise hot chocolate drink. It has 15 grams of Protein, and only 70 calories. That usually lasts me about 4 hours, and it really does fill you up.

It is very hard being a caretaker for someone. Your needs get put to the back burner while you take care of your husband. Is there anyone who can help you for a few hours a day?

It is really hard to be successful when you are unable to focus on what you need.

Good luck to you!
