Holiday Challenge!



Recommended Posts

Its time for another challenge! This challenge will be beginning with the first weigh in and goal on Friday November 7, 2014. From there on after, weigh ins will take place Fridays. Last weigh in will be Friday January 2, 2015. This will allow a total of 9 weigh ins in all. I will post the link for the spreadsheet once its the week of. I know this challenge will be hard for a lot of people including myself because of three major holidays. I want everyone to enjoy this time with their family and friends.. This challenge is to help us make healthy food choices during this time.

Few reminders

  1. You will know it is updated once I have liked your post.
  2. Please post weigh ins here in this post only.
  3. We are all here to support each other..so questions posted here will be answered by anyone else willing to help.
  4. If you want to adjust your goal weight, just add that in any reply to this post.
  5. if you miss a weigh in...no biggie. Just report back in the next week.

But If you missed three or more weigh ins, i will amuse that you no longer wish to continue the challenge and your name will be removed from spread sheet.

Have fun with this! Challenge yourself in new ways! Join us for the Holiday Challenge!

      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.
