Honey how exciting that youa re just a few weeks away from surgery!!

Heather, you said you excercise a lot but dont eat many calories and are stalled. I NEVER lose weight if I excercise and don't eat much. Its one reason I haven't done anything but walk a little. I KNOW my weight loss will stop for weeks unless I get in more calories. I'm going to start walking and lifting but I know I need to seriously start to work out and to do that I need to be strict on gettin in those 60+ grams of Protein. I'm goint to try to do a shake right after working out and sometime at work. Its a project.

I'm feeling great everyone! Hope you are all doing well. Its a camping weekend. So I'll be cooking more than normal but its so nice that I can have a few bites of whatever I make and call it a day!

Of course I do the "Protein first" thing, but I have never counted or tracked or measured my food. I have no idea what my carb or calorie or fat intake is. Not real sure about Protein, either but I do drink a 30-40g protein smoothie everyday on top of my regular food, so I'm sure my level is good. I eat healthy, balanced meals of protein, veggies, fruit and whole grains.

BUT I also eat like a "normal" person. Here's some of those bad carbs we aren't supposed to eat that I've had in the last 2 weeks alone.... Pita chips...with a nice fatty artichoke dip, chocolate covered English toffee (OMG YUMMMM), vodka cocktail, a brownie, a slice of pumpkin/cheesecake roll, hot chocolate (and not the crappy sugar-free/fat-free kind), bread (used to make a roast beef/ avocado sandwich) and pancakes with real maple Syrup. Oh yeah, and although I am active, I don't exercise at all. Since I'm below goal and still losing, I'd say the "non-plan" I've chosen is working.

Good luck to all of 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?

      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.
