What did you today?



Recommended Posts

Would love to see an ongoing group food diary here, including things that were hard to get down, things that were easy, things that were 'refeunded" as it were. . .I'll go first, and I'm starting on a REALLY bad day!

coffee with milk, one sugar

double esspresso, one sugar

3/4 cup scrambled eggs

1 piece of bacon

1 slice of sausage (of a link)

COKE! yes I know

personal pan pizza from pizza Hut, eaten in two parts

2 Halloween size butterfingers

SO FAR, SOOOOOOOO BAD!

This is why I need to do this, and I think if I know others will be watching, maybe I can get it together. Also getting a well-needed fill next week.

Come on people. . .tell me WHAT ARE YOU EATING??

Holy smokes! Everything I am reading says "absolutely no caffeine" and "absolutely no carbonation!" How are you keeping all this down? This scares me that I will fall into the "cheat mode."

The caffeine is a no no simple due to the bad things caffeine does to us not because it can do our band harm.

Carbonation is the same thing. It is not good for our bodies. It steals the oxygen from our blood cells but on top of that it fills up space in our band. If you can't burp (YEAH RIGHT!) then it can make you uncomfortable.

I've never heard the no caffeine rule from my surgeon's office -- they are pro-caffeine as it were, suggesting a non-fat latte makes a nice breakfast if you are tight in the morning. You get both your milk for the day and it has a good amount of Protein in it. :D

Here's my plan today (half accomplished)

Breakfast:

coffee with a splash of milk / no sweetener

Lunch:

4 oz fish with a Tbs of tartar sauce

1/2 c chopped salad mixed in with the tartar sauce to make it go further

Afternoon snack:

an apple

Dinner:

3-4 oz of pot roast

1 C cooked carrots

small potato (I know, I know, I shouldn't be having this)

If I'm hungry later:

piece of fruit

Viactiv for calcium; multi-vitamin; 64+ oz of non-caloric fluids not counting the coffee

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
