Starting the holiday detox early, anyone wanna join me?



Recommended Posts

Hello all

I am starting my holiday detox early. I fell off the bandwagon and gained.....gasp 7 pounds! SH*T.....so instead of waiting for the holidays to officially be over and add to the total I have decided to start a detox program for myself early....

I am going on a few days of liquids only, followed by the 5 day pouch diet. I figure it it an easy way to get back on track.

Anyone want to join me and NOT wait until 2009 to get those holiday pounds off?

I have never been so happy to see a post!! I gained 15.5 lbs from Thanksgiving to Christmas...

The liquid diet sounds good to me, I was going to start yesterday, but hmmm, didn't.. I did manage to watch what I ate, and threw out all the temptations, and lost 2 lbs.

Today, I am joining you... How many days are you doing liquids???

What is the 5 day pouch diet???? I will do that to, if you let me know what it is!!!

I am frustrated that I was soooo close to 199 and let it all slip away...aaagghhh.

We CAN DO THIS!!!!

Unless you have little to no restriction why are you having to go on a special diet to lose weight you gained over the holidays? I didn't get banded to eat wildly and gain weight then go on a diet -- thats what life was before I was banded.

I don't have the restriction I once did, but a lot of holiday foods are slider foods for me. They go down way too easily. I am just trying to get back on track.

AND thanks for being so supportive and assuming that I went wild. I didn't for the record. Sometimes you need help to get back on track. NOT everyone is perfect.

well B, i'll start with ya. i was thinking of doing a day or 2 of liquids prior to the pouch test.

i didn't go "wild" over the holidays - i just had a bit more of foods i don't eat on a regular basis; most normal weight individuals do the same while enjoying the holiday season. it is once a yr; and i plan on taking indulgences here / there. i know where my gym is and how to get back on track...with a few friends:)

hmm, yeah... i thought this was a support forum... maybe i was wrong? but maybe you havent been banded long, i'll just assume that like you assumed people ate 'wildly' ...

i'd join you too, BBK, but dont think my OB would like me on liquids for a few days...

good luck and ... umm... dont go hog wild after the 5 days ... :hurray: :laugh: :smile: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well, although I didn't PLAN on eating wildly and gaining weight and stuff, it did happen...not proud of it, but the reality is the reasons I eat are still there. Although I have the band to help, it is up to ME to keep control, and I did not. Just imagine what would have happened without the band!!

I truly hope you NEVER do what I did, but I think your post was pretty harsh- hope you never have to eat those words!!

Boo Boo Kitty- thanks so much for the link to the 5 day pouch test- I am excited and raring to go.. It just feels better to know there are people out there rooting for all of us...

going to the fitness center tomorrow!!

BBK;

I posted on another thread that I was going to start before the 1st also. I was going to start Monday the 29th, but you have me ready to start tomorrow. I am going to do the 10 day liquid diet. I did this last year on the 1st just to see if I could prior to pre-op and I think I will every year to just get it started right.

I so want to lose 100 by my bandiversary - February 27th.

So count me in and let's get over the holidays early!

Way to go everyone!

No problem, we are in this together!

I am on bedrest for awhile so I am going to be missing a piece of that puzzle--exercise! But I will still be ok!

Anytime you need me, pm me. :hurray:

I am always positive and supportive, and if you need a good kick in the pants I do that nicely!

Just return the favor for me is all I ask!

      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.
