Recommended Posts

My first since starting my pre-op diet .At technical seminar and didn't even realize what I was doing until it was in my mouth. Oh, well count the calories and move on.

You can't cut out everything you love. As long as you counted those calories and you don't down the entire bag you will be fine. Honestly, I love donuts, but I now honestly can't eat them. I feel pretty sure their texture would gum up and I would end up PB'ing it back up.

I have learned some things just aren't worth the consequences.

See now I want a Krispy Kreme donut lol....But it's okay if you slip once in a while. The key is recognizing it and not making a habit of eating the "junky" stuff.

That was one of the things that caught me off guard, I would have thought that it would have done that to me as well.

Well, I count the seminar as a success, I only had one donut (a first), and I made up for it by passing on the chocolate cake they served at the luncheon. BTW, the head hunger, kept reminding me of the donuts that were left, it used to be that I would have been duty bound to make sure they were all gone, but the Mistress Band gave me enough will power to stay away from them. Although it was distracting to hear them softly calling my name through out the seminar.

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again. We always have do overs. Best of luck tomorrow!

90 minutes on my road bike, 23 miles and 1200 calories. I think I paid for the donut

I have been a lapband patient for nearly 6 years. I don't go out of my way to eat fried, greasy, way over the top unhealthy foods but I have what I want. It hasn't hurt me. I try to keep it balanced...life is about balancing.

      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.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
