Lacking the motivation to even walk...



Recommended Posts

So my day:

Breakfast: 4oz cottage cheese and 4oz fruit

Lunch: 1 egg and 4oz pinto Beans

Snack: 1oz nuts or seeds

Dinner: 4oz meat or fish and 4oz spinach

1 cup milk and 2 cups coconut Water

I spread things out since I can't eat more than 4oz at a time.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I think what's really going to help me is weighing my food and meal prepping.

I need to stop being lazy and plan my stuff better!

Thanks for the helpful tips! I'm going to really work on it.

The sooner you get away from Protein Shakes and bars and on to real foods the better.

The trouble with powders and bars is they limit your intake of nutrients and they are sweet and encourage thinking about other sweets.

I disagree. I am 2.5 years out and I still use powder and Protein Bars to supplement my diet. Of course I am using it to help with my weight lifting so my Protein goals are much higher. They do not limit your intake of nutrients unless you are using them for your sole source of food.

As for encouraging thoughts about other sweets, I find the opposite to be true. Why bother with a chocolate chip cookie when I can have a Protein Bar? Why have a milkshake if I can have a Protein Shake? Cakes don't interest me when I can make a coffee cup protein cake.

Making the preparation of a meal can become the substitute ritual that becomes a habit. Instead of eating being the focus, the preparation becomes the ritual then the habit.

      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.
