Banding on December 19



Recommended Posts

I do have a 45 minute commute so I'll try to remember to drink then too. But I'm usually too busy driving fast and switching lanes. Lol.

I think I'll try a Water bottle that actually has measurement marks. That way I can be more sure how much I am actually getting in.

I use a measuring cup and poor Water from my frig it into my waterbottle. I pack enough Water for the day and if I'm not done by my home commute I finish at home. Crystal lite helps when I get sick of water.

Anything I do is when I gt my morning coffe from starbucks, smallest size now with non fat milk, I ask for a large (venti cup) of water. That holds 24 oz and fits in my cup holder. I refill it 2 more times and I'm good. It doesn't seem overwhelming that way.

I try to have my water by me all day and I continuously take small sips. I stop 10 mins before I eat. Then I set my alarm on my phone for one hour. When I hear the alarm, I start sipping again. I think the phone alarm really helps.

Just to clarify,,.I mean after my commute home I bring in my unfinished Water bottles and drink from them. They are various sizes but it's fine bc in the morning I measured out 8 cuos with my measuring cup and filled up the bottles with that.

not anything I do...another thing I do...that was a typo...on days I don't have time to pre measure my Water, I do the starbucks venti trick.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
