Yesterday went easy! I had 3 smallish bowls of Soup over the course of the day and snacked on blueberries & strawberries. I cant wait for today because I got some cans of zuchinni in Tomato sauce, I love that stuff with a little Parmesan sprinkled on it!

So, do you think I can squeeze Oreos into this diet anywhere? :paranoid

I just downed 6 oreos with a tall glass of 2% milk. (It might as well have been cream!) My husband got some Oreo dunkables for Father's Day & I hadn't touched them until today. Hey, I held out for 4 days, that's not too bad!!!!!! :lol: That sad thing is - I wasn't even hungry!!

What do you think? Should I start all over again & do day 1 again tomorrow or just continue with day 3? And I was doing so good!! DAMN COOKIES!!!! :speechles

Funny, I am so amazed with you & your progress. What is your secret?!?!?!?

You guys are inspiring me. I think I'm gonna go out and try this. If that soup/stew is so darn great, I just may have to try it. I'm a Soup lover by nature so I think I could do this.

Ok, I was going to take dear Rob and make a funny clown face on him, then give him back to Funny as a way to get around the fridge police. But... *looks sheepishly at Funny* he came evil.

Today will be my 3rd day of the Soup. I am finding this easy, but TOM is due and I am freaking hungry all day long, literally. I am actually wishing it would just go ahead and GET HERE so these insane munchies cravings would go away. I did stay on track yesterday with the soup and my potato for dinner.......the only thing I had not allowed was half a cup of fatfree cottage cheese, not bad for a cheat.

on this diet....but that doesn't mean it'll stay off any more than other such junk as the "lemonade diet", which is similar but worse. They say they'll "remove impurities", which they will, as long as that means anything in your intestinal system. If you do this, be sure you're close to a bathroom.

Also, this is almost completely Protein free, and I don't believe a week without Protein is good for any of us. Protein is vital for good health, for building muscle (to replace that ugly fat), and on and on. Once your body is cleaned out and your GI system has its normal complement of food that is being processed in it you'll gain the weight back, same as on any other of the "lose ten pounds in a week" things.

Do they work? Yes. Are they healthy? No. Will you gain the weight back? Yes. Most of us have done this kind of nonsense many times before, and we lose ten pounds and gain back fifteen. Now that we're banded, why mess with this nonsense?

Hi Honu, you do have a good point, but did you read the entire diet? Day 4 & 5 are Steak days. That's LOTS of protein! You can eat as much as you want! You are correct, I have done this kind of nonsence before. However, because I have a band now, I am hoping the weight WILL stay off. I have been at a plateau for awhile & it has helped me jump start back into the game so I am thrilled with it.

I just don't see how eating lots & lots of vegetables can do anything but help you?! :rolleyes

Yes, there is Protein there assuming you make it that long. Most don't. Also, your body can't process more than about twenty grams of Protein at once, so if you cram it in it isn't benefitting that much.

You can eat as much as you want! You are correct, I have done this kind of nonsence before. However, because I have a band now, I am hoping the weight WILL stay off. I have been at a plateau for awhile & it has helped me jump start back into the game so I am thrilled with it.

Also, if your band has decent restriction you won't be able to eat that much protein....at least most won't be able to, assuming you don't blend it or something goofy like that. I've finally gotten to the point where I realize PLATEAUS DON'T MATTER. Actually they are often a time when your body is 'consolidating' after a period of losing. Many find that during a plateau their measurements are continuing to decrease, even if scale isn't going down. Remember, it is NOT JUST ABOUT WHAT THE scale SAYS.

I just don't see how eating lots & lots of vegetables can do anything but help you?! :rolleyes

Veggies are fine, though many with a tight band will find that cabbage gets stuck pretty easily. But, to each her (or his) own.

      195 weight when I went in for surgery
      199 weight when I got home for surgery
      193.2 weight 4 days after surgery
      If the inflammation from surgery is resolved, I've lost 1.8lbs in 4 days.

      Had surgery last Thursday, so I've been home for 2 days as of 15 minutes ago.  I weighed more when I got discharged than when I went in despite only having eaten a Jello cup in 2 days, but I put that down to inflammation. This morning I weighed a little less than I went in.  I sneezed last night and my fiance saw me cry for the first time, and we've been together 16 years. I took my multivitamin first thing this morning and threw up. Kept it down after drinking 4oz protein shake. Yogurt gives me diarrhea, water hurts more than the fuller liquids, and my stomach is turning somersaults and I think I'm hungry because I'm used to interpreting it that way, but I have no desire to eat.
      My biggest problem is that I am used to being busy.  I own a business and I've been getting active on these boards, and when I'm on my laptop I forget to drink. Will I hurt myself if I drink faster?  I've been scheduling 4oz every 30 minutes with breaks before and after meals.  Is it too fast to drink 4 oz in 15 min to get caught up on what I missed?

      tl:dr at bottom,
      I could use some advice. I went to see my dietician today (not a bariatric surgery dietician, I can explain why I am seeing her if you want to know). She knows I am going to have weight loss surgery as long as I hit the goal weight my insurance told me I need to be at. I have to be at the goal weight by June 24, 2023, in order for my insurance to pay for my surgery.
      I had a weigh in the doctor's office a couple of days ago and weighed 301, my scale at home said 302. However, on the same day, the scale at a friend's house said 313. 
      I knew I had this Dietician appointment two days later and I knew she would weigh me. I continued to weigh myself at home (after getting new batteries) and I was at 302 then 299 and today at home I weighed 303, right before my appointment, when I got to her office I was weighed and it said 313.
      I am concerned about what to believe since the doctor's office and my scale show similar numbers. I also bought a new scale today and it said 313. 
      The Dietician told me I needed to eat more protein, which honestly I struggle with. she said I needed 150 grams!!  I said are you kidding? that seems like a lot.  She used my weight to come up with this number. 
      Should I really be trying to eat enough protein for a 300-lb person or should I be eating protein for a goal-weight person (mine is 170)?   
      also, my clothing is loose like I lost the 20 lbs mine and the doctor's scale shows, and not 10 lbs like everyone else's scale shows. Also, I have always naturally been more muscular even when I was 120 lbs and did not eat any protein aside from what is in plants. 
      tl:dr- should I be eating enough protein to support a 300lb person or should I be eating protein for a "normal" sized person? AND should I trust the Doctors scale more so than the Dietician's scale?

        I had the same issue. My scale was 6 pounds heavier than my bariatric doctor's. My scale agreed with my nutritionist's scale. I asked my bariatric doctor to have her scale recalibrated and she said it was a really expensive scale, so she trusted it. So, when it comes down to it, the scale that matters isn't the one that's right, it's the one that determines if you get your surgery or not. I would ask her when it was last calibrated and see if she will calibrate it. The difference is I Iost weight so well on the lifestyle change diet that I had to stop losing weight or risk not getting the surgery.
