Egg timer distraction document !



Recommended Posts

After trying to get a copy of this document from a member & getting no response I'm sad to inform everyone the reason for no response is it appears tomander passed away a few years ago.

I went to the Internet to search for his document thinking he shared it with so many it might be out there. Well I was successful !! So here it is. Thank you Tomander !!!

Egg Timer Distraction

Do you really want a snack? Countdown to less snacking....

Egg Timer Distraction: (make sure your egg timer has a bell on it)Try not to eat a large meal past 7:00 p.m… allow yourself an evening snack but if you really want something try this first…

When you feel hungry after 7:00 p.m. set the egg timer for 10 minutes- When the timer goes off there is a chance you may have forgotten you were hungry- After the egg timer goes off the first time and if you’re still hungry... drink an 8 to 10 ounce glass of Water... then set the egg timer again for 10 minutes-

If the egg timer goes off the second time and you still want a snack... drink another 8 to 10 ounces of water... set the timer again for 10 minutes-

If on the third time your still hungry have a snack but make it a healthy snack...

I eat a lot of cold turkey... I keep in cut up in the fridge and have it as an evening snack

I also eat a lot of cut up veggies now...

I was never a veggie eater before really but now enjoy them with a homemade dip

The egg timer method really worked for me...

Give it a try… you never know it may just work for 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?

        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.
