#16 - January Goals Half Way

The good - logging everything I eat

The bad - hydration - meh, some days are better than others

The ugly - supplements and Protein, these were my two biggest goals, and I'm failing miserably

My Vitamins are liquid and kept in the fridge. I am hardly in there anymore so that's why I forget so easy... I started setting reminders so hopefully it'll help lol.

In other news lol, today is day 19 - when I DO remember to take my vitamins, I take Mary Ruth's daytime and nighttime liquid vitamins. I went over them with my NUT and Dr and the only downside/ question they had was that each one has 8g of carbs per serving. Sad ( or not so sad?) part is... that still keeps me well under their goal of 50g of carbs so they are okay to take. I love the liquid vitamins over pills. Pills sit like rocks in my stomach, and these are GF so with having CD I don't have to worry. Which is super nice!200532204_20190119_1803302.thumb.jpeg.b1fbb284ecc796bde3f57eda863a048a.jpeg

Ahhh yes, that would make it trickier! I've never thought of liquid vitamins b4 - I do wonder how well bypass peeps like me absorb the capsule / pill vitamins given our insides have been rearranged.

#17 - Today's Meals in Photos

No judgement please, I'm in maintenance and traveling for work. I was able to surreptitious capture Breakfast and lunch, but no way to be sneaky about it at dinner. (Actual pics from the 17th)

Tex Mex eggs Benedict (sub eggs whites for poached eggs, just because I prefer egg whites)

Lunch - Turkey, Bacon & Pepperjack Panini

Dinner - Duck and Dumplings - a play on chicken and dumplings, was CRAZY delicious and one of the few times I regretted not being able to eat more (I'm nearly always satisfied by small portions). Really wanted to take the leftovers, downside of business travel. No pics of this though :(

Ohhh ... I actually totally forgot

dinner started with a cocktail, a TX play on a Vodka Collins that include Jalapeno simple Syrup and cucumber, and dinner was had with a local TX beer. Dinner was followed by a dessert spread, but I only had a few bites of a decadent s'more brownie, followed by a glass of Port. Dinner was followed by two more late night beers. (I really should have looked at my food log before I finished my post :lol:)

#18 - Top Weight Loss Tip

I am no paragon of virtue. But what I did do for nearly the entirety of my weight loss phase was log every bite that I took. I really think it helped keep me honest about when I both succeeded and failed.

Sadly, I'm not even cleaning, just prepping for the housekeeper. She can't vacuum when there are shoes and Amazon boxes scattered everywhere!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
