Support and motivation



Recommended Posts

Looking for support in my weight loss I am having the sleeve done once I lose the weight I need to which is 16lbs and I am struggling with just that. Recently started working out hardcore 30-90 minutes a day doing indoor cycling. One of the big things I am struggling with is I get discouraged if I don't lose anything also I tend to forget to log my food. Any support is welcome

Well, you are in the right place. You can start with one big change, which is....wait for it........do not eat anything made in a factory. That will pretty much eliminate starchy carbs from flour and sugar, sneaky added salt, and unhealthy fats. Concentrate on the perimeter of the store, where you find real food that you can grow, pick and catch. Just go easy on the butter and salt. The only exception I make is sugar-free Jello, which is my go-to for midnight cravings.

Welcome aboard, and good luck with your surgery.

I agree with Miss Mac - no processed foods! Only fresh. Also keep in mind that muscle weighs a lot so you may not be loosing because you are gaining muscle with your workouts.

The good thing is I am allergic to a lot of food like wheat oats tomatoes potatoes green Beans oranges shell fish and peanuts so I have almost cut all that out of my life. And that's for the tip on Jello :)

The only thing stopping me from having surgery is losing the weight I am hoping between the Water pill they put me on and working out I will see results.

      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.
