Recommended Posts

@@Alex Brecher thanks! I think I am going to bump up the calories. My weight loss has come to a grinding halt as of late.

@@Indieflickers - I am in the same situation and I just started weighing out the food again, not just eye balling the portions.

I have been eating a bit more Protein and calories and it looks as though the scale is starting to cooperate.

Great job by the way :D

@@jane13 thanks! I find weighing good immensely helpful because it keeps me honest. And I like to be super precise because I'm really anal retentive :)

@@Indieflickers - I had the inexpensive little scale I had grabbed at Walmart for $5 in my early post-op days and I literally JUST went and spent about $20 for a digital one, I am "AR" as well :D

I didn't like not knowing the exact amount.

My daughter was at my house a couple of nights ago and saw the digital scale and a bunch of little 4oz serving cups and snack size ziplock bags and said "Mom, are you REALLY weighing your food out?"

"Yes" - she smiled, is also "AR"

Did upping your calories help? I feel like I've stalled from not eating enough for my workout. I work out 6 days a week, an hour a day, half cardio, half weights.

      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.
