Bad Good Better Best - survey time



Recommended Posts

There is a whole range of choices when changing your lifestyle varying from bad to good, better and best. Most days I'm at my best, occasionally I'm bad struggling for just one good choice. Here are some of my Good Better Bests, what are yours??

Bad - Having a whole candy bar

Good - Having a single Hershey's miniature

Better - Having a chocolate Protein Bar

Best - Having NO chocolate

_______________

Bad - spending the evening on the couch

Good - cleaning or other projects around the house

Better - brisk 45 minute walk around the neighborhood

Best - break a sweat with a real cardio workout

Ok, great thread! I'll play! :D Lateral choices are what shore me up all the dang. time!

I'm at the point where truly my life is about 90-95% Best and 3-8% Better and about 2% Good. I haven't gone "hog wild" eat the whole candy bar thing since before surgery. Hallelujah. The angels sang.

Bad - A whole order or BWW Wings with Fried cheese Curds and Fried Mushrooms

Good - Having 2 wing flats, and 2 curds and 1 mushrrom with celery and blue cheese

Better - Air Frying the wings at home and tossing with a zero calorie sauce to keep it lower fat. Air frying broccoli and cauliflower and making Grk Yogurt Ranch Dip.

Best - Air Frying chicken breasts with a mustard garlic coating. Making a great salad with a few pumpkin seeds and reduced fat feta with some zero calorie dressing and a little avocado.

Bad - Wasting an entire day on YouTube vids and FB and BP (sorry to say wasting, not really wasting...but losing myself in it)

Good - I have yet to establish metrics for this parameter

Better - Ditto

Best - *sniff* Purgatory. Pure. And. Simple.

      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.
