Ok....here I am on day 4 of Boot Camp. Monday and Tuesday, I have a headache which I attribute to withdrawing from carbs. And that first day, I lost 3 lbs. YEA!!!! But today, I am having serious carb cravings! Right at this moment, I feel the same exact way I did when I first quit smoking. Is this normal for day 4? I'm so very, very close, and I've really enjoyed the way that I've been eating, and I've been tracking it, and I'm quite proud of myself. I plan on taking what I've learned in boot camp, and continuing on. But let me tell you.....I would just about kill for a devil dog, or a piece of pound cake. I really thought these cravings were behind me.

Has anyone else had this problem?

yes thats totally normal!! I woke up with a slight headache this morning and I'm having to curb the shock with some yogurt right now. Thank goodness for that or I'd have totally blown this already and I'm only on day 2. Well, count in my head start so more like day 3.

Great job already!!! Whoootttt!!!

Day 5 is now a mere memory, and I lost 5 lbs total!! YEA!!! I did have some carbs yesterday, but I didn't go too crazy. I went to Starbucks and got a large chai tea latte with fat free foam, and the extremely chatty barrista was absolutely insistent that I try and iced chai tea latte. The problem was that it was made with half & half. It was only about an ounce or so, but still. I know she was only trying to be nice, but she REFUSED to take no for an answer! And then last night, I made a 7up pound cake for my friend who is going through some tough times with her teenage daughter, so I baked her a little happy, and took her some flowers. And I did have a small piece of cake, but other than that, I did ok. I was able to get in all my Water, and I find that it's easier to do when I make it to the gym. So I'm going to make a concerted effort to make it to the gym every day during the week. Well, as soon as I figure out how to do it, I will update my ticket. (I'm extremely ticker challenged)

LOL Thanks Kim and Lynda! I like to call it my Birthday Month... haha smile.png

Elixabeth - I did in the early stages during weight loss. I would log all my food in https://www.livestrong.com/login/ It will keep track of all your calories, carbs, sodium, sugar - all that and it's free. There are many others you can use, but that just so happens to be one I chose. Not sure why, it was just easy to figure out I guess. wink.png I didn't really ever set a real limit to myself, I just figured if I'm eating right the calories can't go that high. They were always around 800-1,000 for the day and really I burned 1,500 for the day on workouts alone. So you can see it wasn't anything major for me to worry too much about that.

I don't ever log my food anymore, since I'm not actively trying to lose. I do however plan to continue to use this as a way of life if I need to get off a few pounds here and there. Good luck!!! smile.png

You look so great!! I saw you were burning 1500 a day on workouts.. what are you doing? I am bored from the treadmill,and I think its not doing as much good as it was a while ago.. thanks!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
