my Protein shake has 30 grams and is 160 calories - i had to use a different one - the ones i usually drink are 120 calories 23 grams of Protein.< /p>
so, this morning i had 1 shake and a banana , lunch was a shake and an apple, snakc was a square of very dark chocolate (starving by this point), at like 3:00 i grabbed a bag of trail mix from the vending machine 260 calories and i was still hungry so i ended up having that damn donut - still hungry but dealing with it
i know im going to binge when i get home
ugh this is rough
-
So, I am trying to get myself down some pounds. Eventhough my surgery wont be until December or January. I tried the Protein Shake thing. One for Breakfast, one for lunch...I AM STARVING...how am i going to do this when it comes time for pre and post op ? p.s. there are donuts in the kitchen at my office - i am so hungry!!!!
-
I actually found my Pure Protein Shakes at same club so I'm going to start having them for Breakfast and lunch...this weekend is just weird and boring and all I can do is sit around hating myself... Because really I have. Nothing else to do.LOL

I know once I start losing I will have the motivation to control the head hunger. Right now though..... It's just.....yeesh
Thanks for your replies

Hey everyone, I'm just feeling really bad right now. My boyfriend went away for the weekend and because of the fact that I gained so much weight and hate myself so much right now, I can't bring myself to go out an do anything with my friends. So I'm sitting here feeling sorry for myself. I ate two bowls of Cheerios and a weight watcher dessert and I wasn't even hungry and I knew it...I was just bored...I'm so fed up with myself and my bad habits. I can't wait to make this change....I'm just having a rough night and tomorrow I'll be bored and probably wanna eat and eat and eat ugh I just hate it...I want this surgery and life change now!! I'm sorry I just needed someone to talk to and the past few weeks you guys have been so great, you were who I thought of first LOL
Thanks for listening....

I know he will be there for December 26th surgery and entire rest of the week after surgery but the week of new years he will be on vacation. i was planning for a january 16th that way i could do preop diet the first 2 weeks of january then have surgery.....i just feel like if i wait then its like "i wanna get my big holiday foods in" which is not the case
-
Ok so I need some advice. Im having trouble deciding when to have this surgery (depending if i get approved of course)
My company shuts down between christmas and new years so I wanted to have the surgery Dec 26th so I can go back to work the first week in January.
I am so amped to have this. I am truly READY
However, I am trying to keep this quiet as only a handful of people know about it and i dont want the holidays to be a problem with my preop diet and all with so many parties going on and stuff
(im not so concerned with will power as i am about people making comments and maybe will power a little bit )
I was thinking of doing it January that way i can start my preop after new years...(i know, so cliche)
But i have off that week in December I dont want to make my bosses angry. i mean if its surgery they cant do anything about it but i still feel so irresponsible. and i dont want to hear my coworkers make comments about another "vacation"
i also am so AMPED for this i dont know if i can wait any longer...even if it is a couple of weeks
so my question is,
What would YOU do?
im having a rough time with this and its weighing on me....
and I know alot of you will say "do whats best for you"
but with this particular situation, i dont know what would be best because the end result will still be the same...WEIGHT LOSS!!!
-
What happens during this appointment? I have mine tonight!
I also have a cardiology appointment but i already have my EKG results so hopefully they wont need anything else from me..
im doing my psych and nutrition consults over the phone which are costing me a fortune by the way!
what happens during all these "clearance" appointments? what do they do?

*Walking on the beach in a bathing suit and not hiding my body with a tee shirt
*My boyfriend can put his arms around my waist with room to spare
*Getting on a roller coaster and not feeling like my guts are being squeezed out by the harness
*Being able to go clothes shopping and actually enjoy it
*Being a thin and beautiful bride if my boyfriend ever gets me the damn ring
*Looking down and seeing my feet
*Loving myself
*Lingerie shopping and actually liking how i look in it
*Gaining the confidence to sing in front of people again
*Getting off this roller coaster of emotions
*Caring about myself and my appearance
*Not being afraid of going out with my girlfriends and just being comfortable in public in general
so much more...

Congratulations!! Its people like you that really motivate me! I cant wait until i can be as excited as you are right now. Great Job you look great!

you can buy them individually at 7-11 for like 2 bucks a can or something but i got a 4 pack at target....you can also get them in bulk packs of 12 from Amazon for like 25 dollars or something...i wish i could get them at costco or another wholesale store - it would be so much easier. let m eknow what you think
-
thank you for this! I am going to think of this the next time I dont FEEL like working out!
-
well, since you can have Protein Shakes, i highly recommend Pure Protein. The chocolate ones are very good and filling..i have one for lunch everyday. keeps me full for about 3 hours. very satisfying. and only 120 calories, 1 g of sugar, 23 g of protein and 6g carbohydrate...love these things....

Im still getting all my clearances but i am planning for december/January for the surgery depending on insurance issues.
I was just wondering because everyone keeps saying about how they loose so much weight preop and i thought it odd that it was only 2 weeks. i thought it was maybe a month or something....
alot of weight in such a short time...just wondering what the diet consisted of.
-
im not telling my job - i want to keep this quiet. however, i obviously did tell my office manager i needed to have a minor surgery taken care of so im going to be needing a week off as well as a day here and there for appointments and what not...its no ones business...but, i am lucky because i am a girl and if anyone asks me i can just say "im having some female things taken care of" LOL

Pendulum i am so happy things are looking up for you - this is going to be great! all of us pre banders! LOL
Skinny - have you tried drinking seltzer with or without lemon? it might help ease you off the soda...whenever i go out to dinner i order it instead of soda -
p.s. im thinking of moving my surgery to january - i will have new insurance and i have so much going on in december i dont think that a week out of commision will work for me....ugh so confused!
-
OMG if i could get my fills in Port Jeff that would be a dreeeeam!!...not going to get my hopes up though....with the way things have been going lately LOL
-

$250.00 is absolutely ridiculous!!!

thanks Carol, I do go to his New Hyde Park office but I live all the way in Patchogue. I was hoping i wouldnt have to go all the way out there so frequently because i would need to take time off from work...i would rather only have to leave an hour early or so...Doesnt Dr. Garber have an office in Port Jeff?
-
im sorry i just realized how rude that sounded!! so sorry!! you dont have to tell me. it is none of my business!!!
