Pre surgery 300lbs

This journey has its ups and downs. Believe I just passed 3 week plateau. I was told no bread no rice no Pasta must have 60-90 grams of Protein per day! I struggle constantly I find myself hungry and obsessed with food I have stick to the restrictions are a piece of candy here or there and keep up the fluids and exercise daily. These are my demons and I am trying to deal with them but is it hard and when is it going to be easier? I was told I would be hungry like this or crave sweets which I do sometimes. Having a semi meltdown

Wow, sorry you are having a difficult time right now. It's easy for me to say, as I have not walked a day in your shoes, (SD - Dec. 20th) but try to focus on the goals you set. The goal of this long journey and the end rewards. I know it's a struggle but food and sweets will always be here, so when you've reached your goals you can endulge a little. Stay focus for now. Best of luck. I hope this help, I feel for you.

I just hit week 6 and slowly starting regular foods. I am a massive addict. My boyfriend isn't really helping either. Don't stress yourself out. Get a really good chocolate Protein Shake, EAS or Premier Protein. Drink when you are hungry. You are supposed to eat 4-6oz every hour. Eat when you're hungry. If it involves a sweet or 10 shhhh lol do it. The whole thing is that you are in the healing stage. If you want I can give you some really good meals that totally feel like you are cheating but you're not.

I have tons! All with chicken breast.

I buy the Perdue individually wrapped. They are easier. Get taco seasoning broil the chicken then chop up add seasoning like you do with meat. Serve with avocado slices and sour cream. If you can eat bread then use a soft taco shell. Sooooo good

Get deli turkey breast chop up into small pieces add goat cheese (I use cranberry goat cheese) or feta cheese add avocado and small chunks of green apple.

Spray chicken breasts with Pam. Then cover in shredded parm cheese and broil. Serve with some kind of veggie

I also keep ready to eat mashed sweet potatoes on hand.

Desert - get redi whip fat free, choc rice cakes sprinkles and strawberries or blue berries. Put whipped cream on rice cake put fruit on whipped cream and add sprinkles. Feels do decadent but not. I also get sugar free pudding and make a faux sundae with whipped cream and sprinkles

I have more but tired of typing lol. Hope that helps

      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? 🤷‍♀️
