Those last friggin pounds...



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to catch up on posts and I noticed there are lots of new folks here!! That is truly wonderful.

I am presently fighting the battle to get the last 18 pounds off my body. Been plateauing for the last 6 weeks. Went to the gym today after taking a 6 week hiatus, so I am hoping that this will get me back on track. I am really monitoring my food intake and trying to keep it under or about 1000-1100 per day.

I am leaving this weekend to go to Nashville, Baltimore, PA, back to Nashville and also Indiana to visit clients. I am meeting up with Shelly (Southern Bandgal) and Calvin on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. I am really looking forward to this trip and hanging with some bandsters and meeting some clients.

I will miss you all. OK, I am only gone 5 days, but I am addicted to this board!!!!

      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.
