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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
