Say No To Carbs 2 Day Challenge...come Join Me



Recommended Posts

I am not sure 3 days was enough for me either, but my new kiddos have never eaten in a resteraunt, so we are going to do a few fun things with them this weekend.

Wow, sometimes I forget how blessed I am. These kids are blessed to have you in their life. It's possible that they've never had anyone spend any quality time with them. It's so sad, but at least they have you now.

I'm still craving a little too, so maybe by the time I can eat solids again, the cravings will be gone.

well, we went to Chikfila and Sonic today. Great huh!! The kids loved it and I ate 2 chicken tenders at chick fil a and a hamburger patty at sonic. Not too bad for the choices I had. Anyway, we also bought a Ford expidition to carry them all around, so no more eating out for me for the rest of my life.

We had a great day with the kids. You are right Pamela, I too am learning how much I take for granted. They have already started calling us mom and dad!!! Wow!!

Wow, Amy!!!

That is so awesome about the kids. I have always wanted to take in more, but hubby says not until our youngest is out....so at least 3 more years.

You did very well with your choices....willpower hits me anytime I go into fast food, then I remember I paid $18k for this band, and I just can't see spending $6 to blow it...lol

Good luck to you and your new family.

So shakes, Water and fruit it is!!!!! woohoooo!!!

Can I join in as well? I'm still fighting some major Carb Cravings after a huge spill off the proverbial wagon during the Holidays.

do any of you have problems going to the bathroom doing low carb?

This is a big problem for me. I ate some prunes today. I hate the fact that this is such a problem with a low carb diet.

Denise - I add Fiber to my Protein Shake, cause I've had problems going to the 'bathroom' since surgery in JUNE! I figured it'd correct itself by now, but nope! So, FIBER FIBER FIBER.

Heh. Or that 'fat free, no sugar added' ice cream from blue bunny... that stuff works like a colon cleanse if I eat more than a cup or so!! Whew!

Oh hey - can we have coffeee?!!?! Please :smile:

I personally HATE coffee but as long as it has NO-Carbs I don't see why you couldn't drink it.

I'm shooting for the following:

Monday: (Approx 800 calories)

Breakfast: Protein shake & Water

Lunch: Protein Shake & Water

Dinner: Protein Shake & Water

Snack(s): Protein shake & Water

(only variation may be adding Crystal Light to some of the water)

Tuesday: Ditto from Monday (Approx 800 Calories)

Wednesday: (Approx 900-1000 Calories)

Breakfast: Protein Shake & Water

Lunch: salad with Feta cheese & Nuts sprinkled liberallly on top.

Dinner: 6oz Protein pudding & Water

Snack: Protein Shake & Water

Thursday: Ditto Wednesday (Approx 900-1000 Calories)

Friday: (Approx 1000-1100 Calories)

Breakfast: Protein Shake & Water

Lunch: salad with Feta Chees & Nuts

Dinner: High Protein Low Carb (Probably Tilapia and Broccoli)

Snack: Either Protein pudding or Protein Shake

Saturday/Sunday: Traveling so will just try to do best I can to be high protein / low carb.

I better lose at least one pound doing this or my morale is going to go down the toilet.

      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.
