What is something that is working for you? I don't mean the band itself, I mean like a special meal you like, a routine, an exercise, certain kind of support or motivation.

What's something that you do that's working for you??

I'll start: I love my NutraNinja blender. It makes blah Bariatric Advantage shakes come out like a dream.

Please share!! i need some motivation lately. Thanks in advance.

Having a trainer and group exercise classes have really helped me. Left on my own, I exercise once a week at best. With my trainer, we have a standing appointment that I must show up for. Recognizing what I cannot do on my own and still expect results had made a difference.

Quest bars! I keep a couple of them in my purse and in my tote bag that I carry with me to work. They have saved me from making bad choices many times when I was out and about or had to work late.

I do well with routine things , I think because my work schedule ( retail) is erratic, I crave things that are consistantly the same. ( one reason I visit this site frequently) . Snacks, workouts etc that I dont have to think about just seem to work for me. So, I like Belvita Breakfast Biscuts, turkey jerkey, pb on wheat thins and lots of Propel for my Water intake. Working out ? Swim class 3x a week, and when my heel injury gets better, back to walking and slow running.

      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.
