Nov. Nymphs "Spring into Weight Loss" Challenge Week #4



Recommended Posts

I eat Pasta if it's in a frozen dinner, like lean cuisine, becasue the whole meal is calorie controlled anyway.

I am not having trouble getting stuck. I do have to slow down to eat and I can still eat an apple with the skin, but it takes me at least 20 mins to eat it. I can still eat chicken, shrimp, haven't tried beef since last fill, but it was fine before that.

I had four shrimp, a salmon cake and a small salad for dinner. I am definitely still full 1.75 hours later. I seem to be more full after dinner than after b'fast, but b'fast was Cereal, ( high Protein Kashi) so maybe it's just the softer texture of Cereal that doesn't keep me full as long.

I guess I'm just still trying to figure things out now that I do have some restriction. But I'm eating more than 1/2 c of food. I'm ok with that. My calories are around 1000 to 1200 per day.

Hi Shortgal, I'm thinking I'm definitely noy there yet. I don't want to be PBing but I want to notice that I'm eating too much long before it happens.

I get stuck sometimes but can't believe how much I can still eat. I went to lunch on Friday and ordered chilli prawn Pasta (yum) and was able to eat the whole lot...

Wow, am so envious:drool:, I love pasta my Doctor say no pasta for six months.

Hi Marie, I was never given such strick guidelines, only the first 4-6 weeks. I was told to try anything and everything to see what I can or can't take down. I was told that eventually I will be on 1,000 cals a day, eating 3 cup size meals. Still waiting for that to kick in. :thumbup:

Yes, Join our November group. this specfic challenge is almost over, tho. Two weeks left. At the beginning of the challenge we set a goal to lose over a set time frame and then we check in each week.

This challenge was from Valentines Day to the first day of Spring. I'm sure someone will start a new challenge when this one is over.

Just watch our Nov 07 group threads for a new one.

      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.
