Feel free to add me :) I'll charge my fitbit tonight if I can find it haha. Duckydoom on both MFP and Fitbit.

What kind of dogs do you have? I have a crazy 1 year old hound puppy that needs to be walked daily (probably a couple times a day, who am I kidding) and a fat 8 year old Rottie mix who loves to go for long, leisurely walks.

I don't have adog wish I did but I live in apartments and they don't allow dog's. I have birds 3 canaries and 3 finches. I go walking on my own. No friends and relatives not near by close enough. My daughter is always gone we were walking together but if I wait for her I would never get out. I go walking at least 5 to 7 days without a break. I am so use to my walks I have a problem not going it's a habit now

Yes I have both and I love my fit bit

How is your Water intake? I don't lose at all unless I cut carbs down to 20 to 30 grams and drink about a gallon of Water a day. Make sure you get electrolytes too if you're drinking that much water, I use fizzy tabs that I got from Hammer nutrition that don't taste too bad

Not getting much water in not sure about my carbs. I will have to watch that. What do you eat if you have to watch the carbs. Cuz I like my breads and rice and Pasta and starches. I am pretty much on my own I have a appointment with the nutriontist on the 17th of this month.

Definitely track on myfitnesspal - you can set custom amounts for macronutrients, so if you start to go over the amount of carbs it will let you know.

When I go low carb, I follow the ketogenic protocol which is basically phase 1 of Atkins. 20g or less of carbs, moderate Protein, and high healthy fats. It cuts out all fo the breads, rice, Pasta and starches, unfortunately. HOWEVER - I found a good high Protein low net carb Pasta from IsoPasta. It's pretty good, and has less carbs than the Barilla high protein pastas.

What I usually eat:

Breakfast - 2 eggs, 4 pieces bacon, 1 cup coffee with 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream

lunch - salad with mozzarella, lean turkey or chicken and a low carb dressing, or sliced mozz, avocado, olive oil, salt pepper and vinegar.

dinner - meat and veggies. This can be salmon, steak, ground beef, chicken, whatever, and usually asparagus or broccoli.

My Snacks are 1/2 cup full fat cottage cheese with some walnuts and rosemary infused olive oil mixed in.

All of that is roughly 1300 -1500 calories for me, and I weigh everything out. When I stick to it, I lose all of my excess Water weight SUPER fast. The fats keep me really satiated and I have ridiculous energy. Last time I did it I lost 10 lbs in a week and was bouncing off of the walls. My irritable bowel symptoms all but disappear, I'm not gassy, or crampy, but I do spot.

As a disclaimer, I usually stall right at the 230 mark though, so that's why I'm still pursuing surgery. The sleeve is also going to be a great tool in helping me to avoid all of those starches, pastas, and carbs in favor of healthier foods. It's going to be a great extra boost for me.

Hi! I'm in Kitsap county too.

I'm waiting one lab test result so my dr can submit for final insurance approval. (Very frustrating wait).

I have to do some shopping and I want to know what foods I should buy. I don't like cottage cheese or asparagus. If I want some kind of Pasta what should I buy or if I want tacos or lasagna or rice. I am trying to get the weight off. So any suggestions on what foods I should buy. So I can get this done with the next step.

      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.
