Hi great job on the great weekly loss. Will you share with me an example of your daily diet and exercise program?

I will love to. I am still on the soft food phase, but I still do a protien shake atleast every other day. Most of the the time I eat baked fish for dinner and some type of green veg. Every once in a while maybe once a week I eat mashed potatoes. For Breakfast I either have a shake or eggs with cheese and broccoli, and for lunch I have maybe have some tuna salad, fish, or chicken breast, and maybe once a week about 5 soft fries. I'm not good at getting all my Water in everyday, but some days I do. I don't count calories or protien any more. I stop after two weeks, I'm not saying u should stop I just think its only so much we can eat any way. However I always eat 4 ozs. I never over ate, I'm scared so I make sure I don't go over 4 ozs. Im not sure if you are familiar with Comcast but they have fitness on damand and I do walk a mile at min 4 times per week. Also I just started boxing. I hope that helped you some, when did u have the surgery.

Hi thank you for sharing your eating and exercise program...I am 6wks post-op. I started walking on my 15 minute breaks and on my lunch time I do the 5k program. Is Comcast cable TV?

I am still eating 2-3 small bites per meal and I get full real quick. I as well get scared of eating. ..I eat 3 small meals and 2 Snacks. I eat 400-700 calories per day.I do 2 shakes a day ( as a meal) and drink Isopure or Protein blitz to meet protein dail goal.

My water intake is a joke I try so hard to drink water with all different types of flavoring and temps.

I have gone from a sz 22-24 to sz 16 . My wgt loss is very slow but its going down.

It seems to me ur doing fine. U loss a lot of inches. From a 24 to a 16 is awesome. Numbers are one thing and size is another. If I was 200 lbs wearing a size 8, I would not care that I'm 200 lbs. So keep up to great work, ur doing just find

      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.
