Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp



Recommended Posts

Hi Avilla..... glad to hear from you:biggrin1: Regarding the m/e you have to do what is best for you. I am staying away from red meat which they say causes colon cancer. Have you lost anymore weight yet Avilla? Chix, fish & lamb is OK for right now, from the latest FDA reports, but that is subject to change:heh: This is day 4 for me on the m/e this week and I've lost 3lbs so far.

DENISE.....I got sick last nite with the induc flu, I threw up about 3 times:cry , but I'm feeling great now. That was truly amazing that you sat thru a homemade pizza dinner:faint: :) :hungry: I'm still not hungry this morning even tho I really didn't eat anything yesterday. I think you would've been OK just eating the topping off the pizza, but regardless you did very good.

Avilla--look at that ticker! :) I hadn't noticed that until now! Way to go!!:cheer2:

I forgot to post yesterday's menu. Here it is:

B-Hard boiled egg

L-Grilled chicken breast

D-Nothing; wasn't hungry.

Sounds familiar, huh? :guess

Tonight is family night at church which is a carry-in meal. That will certainly be a test. Often times there isn't just a meat like I would be eating so I sure hope there is. If not, maybe I will be blessed and not be hungry!

Thank you for noticing my ticker..hehe...It just inches up when it feels like it then it takes a break for a while...I am almost to 70 lbs, I am so excited....That will put me at 5.5 lbs so far for this month...I will take it as it comes...I am going in Friday for a fill and it will help me a little bit more...

Tann, I dont want you to take that as being anything negative from me about the m/e diet, I just wanted to report what she was saying...I am still all for it and am planning on starting on it on Monday with yall, but probably just a few changes...It sounds wonderful as long as that weight keeps coming off...I figure I can just take plenty of stuff to keep me regular while I am on it and I will be fine

Oh no, Avilla I didn't take it as being negative. My doctor gets lip from his patients too, about the Protein diet. He is now starting letting us have some veggies with the meat (I was doing that anyways:kiss ) I feel like each of us are different and we have to work the diet which is best for us.

Thanks to all...I am working on it...I am still at 69.5 this morning but tomorrow morning I go in for a fill and I will get over that little hump...I was just thinking this morning about how funny it is that we can lose so much and look at it as being so little...Like when I was at 25 lbs I admired and wanted to be at 50 cuz 25 just wasnt that much...Then I get to 50 and i want to be at 75 cuz 50 just isnt that much...Its like the more that I lose the further from reality I get from actually seeing what I have really lost...Like yesterday someone asked me how much weight I have lost and I would reply "JUST 69.5 lbs"...Now this time last year I would have been exstatic to yell that number from the roof top for all to hear but now that I am there it just seems like another number to me...Does anyone understand what I am going thru??

:mmph:ABSOLUTELY!!! I battle the same thing Avilla.:pout: I tend to look at how much more I have to lose then what I have done and I get that attitude. I always think if I would have done this or that my number would be bigger.:frusty: We are our own worst enemies! Don't kid yourself, 69.5 is amazing! Just think where you were a year ago. That helps put it into prospective for me.

My menu for yesterday is:

B-Hard boiled egg (WOOHOO!! The excitement!)

L-Meatloaf

D-Little sloopy joe meat w/o the bun, a couple small weiners and a deviled egg.;)

My eating yesterday wasn't the best and my scale reflected so. :fear: I was only down .4. There I go again, only down. It's better then up. I am hoping for those last 2 lbs. to sneak off today. If they don't, I will do m/e tomorrow as well and fight them to leave!:boxing::D

Good morning! I wanted to make a quick post before I leave to go spend the day with my mom. :lol:

Yesterday's menu:

B - Hard boiled egg

L - Grilled chicken Breast (There's a horrible pattern going when it comes to my menu. No wonder I get bored. :nervous )

By last night I was so tired of just meat that when dh said he would like tacos for supper, I caved. I must of not done too bad because this morning I was down 1 lb! Only one to go! :clap2: I hope everyone's Friday is wonderful!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
