Hello, hello....

Kind of a bad day today...

Woke up had a cup of coffee in my new machine- YUM

B: (at 1030am!) a third cup stuffing with chicken and gravy

Threw the rest of the stuffing away! Bad, bad, bad! Anytime I eat it, I make bad choices the rest of the day

L: none really... picked on chicken salad while I made it and ate a few bites of my roasted sweet potatoes while I made that

D: was overly hungry! had maybe a third cup of meatloaf and a third cup of mashed potatoes. I wasn't sick or anything but I really felt like I ate too much. Almost feels like the food is in your throat...no pain just a weird feeling. Went away after a few minutes.

Today I made meatloaf, mashed potatoes, chicken salad, roasted sweet potatoes with apples. Tomorrow I am going to make a pot of meatballs and some chili. That way I am stocked and ready to go for the week!

Hi everyone!

Still here... still plugging along. Been sooooooooooo busy with the holidays. I had a total maintain this week. Everyone keeps bringing in goodies. I am not going crazy.. bite here, bite there. TOM also showed up so that didn't help at all. I did notice the scale moved a bit today but it isn't official until Monday, then I will update my ticker.

There is one thing I have been thinking about though. I am hardly getting fruits and veggies. I know even when I eat them it is in such small quantities that I need more. I am thinking about juicing. I usually want something in the afternoon. Not necessarily hungry, but want something. Thinking that may be an ideal time to have a fruit/veggie drink combo. I am sure my doctor wouldn't like it. She doesn't want me to 'drink calories'. She advocates no Protein Shakes but I drink one every day and it works for me. So I think I will try it.

Will post food intake later today!

Whew! I had a great Christmas but I am glad it is over! Will be nice to get back to a regular schedule! I work tomorrow but then I am off for 6 days! So today I went through my dresser and closet. I am in a solid 14 now. So the 18's went bye-bye. I kept the 16's. The still fit even though they are baggy. Once I get in the 12's, the 16's go. I am pretty vigilant about getting rid of clothes. Every 'diet' I have ever done, I keep my clothes 'just in case' Well, there is NO 'just in case' I refuse to think that way. So, out they go!

Anyway... not great choices today but here they are:

B: a third cup stuffing and a couple bites of hash brown casserole.

L: 3 club crackers with chicken salad

Snacked all day on chocolate.... bite here.. bite there

D: 10 nachos, half a soft taco

The scale seems to be on the move.... so we shall see what it says on Monday!

I have a suggestion for getting in fruit/veggies. Try getting V8 juice? I don't get in enough either and that's what I've been trying to do.

Hi everyone! Been gone a while... computer issues! Actually, having issues all over the place! I have an appointment for the 21st. I think I will get my 1st fill. I thought my 'restriction' with no fill was in my head all these months. I was thinking I had just psyched myself into thinking I had restriction. WRONG!!! I can tell a MAJOR difference the last two weeks. As in, I have nothing. I have been actually HUNGRY. I have been snacking like crazy. Just a bite here... bite there. Man does that sh*t sneak up on you!!!!

Not gaining, not losing. Just holding steady. Which I suppose is good. This is just the weight I always get stuck at so I just want to push past it. Don't want to pause... just keep moving!

Part of me is stubborn and I don't want to get a fill. But the logical part of me knows that I got the tool... USE IT! Duh!!! So I have an appointment. I am looking forward to it. I know I have done very well and I am proud of what I have accomplished so far. I have accomplished changing my thinking which, for me, is the hardest part.

Today:

B: usual shake

L: half cup turkey chili with cheese and sour cream

S: two chocolate chip Cookies

Other Snack: grande caramel macchiato iced

D: a third cup of stuffing with diced chicken in it and gravy, a third cup of mashed potatoes and about a quarter cup of carrots

Definately NOT a great dinner choice!

Looking over my menu for the last week or so, it seems I am eating better than I think I am. At least I am controlling my portions... I guess in my head I am eating worse because I THINK about food now. I didn't before.

Anyway.. moving on!

Hi all..

Yesterday was a weird day. Out, running errands. Did NOT plan well at all.

B: skipped

sat with friends and had a grande chai latte

L: skipped

by 3pm my stomach was growling soooo loudly! I stopped at JITB and got a steak and egg burrito. I ate about a third of it.

D: wasn't hungry because I ate that burrito so late so I skipped

HI everyone...

REALLY struggling here! Snacking like crazy. Fill appointment is January 21st. Not a SECOND too soon. Ugh...

I have been craving a big mac for weeks now and I think I have eaten all sorts of other junk instead of just having what I really wanted. Sooooo...

B: usual shake

L: half cup chicken salad, carbmaster yogurt

Snacking: handful potato chips with dip, a one inch piece of dark chocolate

D: a third of a big mac (minus the bread), 4 french fries

Ok, hopefully that is out of my head now and I can just try to hold steady until my fill...

Hi everyone... got my much-needed fill yesterday. I won't bother posting my menu for the weekend since I am on Clear Liquids. But I am gearing up to get serious again. I feel like I have been slacking off while I was waiting for a fill. So I will start posting my menus on Monday again.

      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.
