What are you NOT doing (but supposed to)?



Recommended Posts

1. I don't drink the Water like I should.

2. I eat/drink at the same time.

3. I chew gum still

4. I don't exercise enough

5. Sometimes I don't eat at all on some days

5. I don't eat fruit/veg like I should

I know if I don't fix # 1, # 4, #5, #6...these last 30 or so lbs will be impossible to lose...

Best of luck to all of us on our journeys!

Protein drinks! Ever since I progressed back to regular food, I just don't want to drink it. Finding other ways to get protein in though.

Protein Drinks get me nauseous now! I used to love anything sugary but I'm so picky now. These protein drinks are not an option for me anymore either. I always want to eat protein in from salty foods now.

I am 5 weeks out and have 3 to go before I am supposed to have carbs like chips or food that is not soft. I eat a few chips a day 4-5, because I like the crunch and salt.

I eat a few cashews a day, not for the Protein but because they taste good.

I also drink while eating and it really does limit what I can eat.

The rule I want to break is having alcohol. I am not a big drinker and can go without any for months. The problem is I have a guys weekend coming up next week and for the last 10 years it has been drinking , cards, gambling, movies etc. I do all the cooking so my food will not be an issue but I do want to get a buzz on. I am 5 weeks out and Dr says no alcohol for 6 months. I think that is a weight loss thing not a recovery thing, but still I want to follow the rules.

Glad I'm not the only one!

1. I began having coffee as soon as I was released from the hospital 3 weeks ago.

2. I have had toast, but just 1/2 slice at a time.

3. I use a straw, and found I swallow less air with one, than without.

4. Sometimes I eat too fast. It's difficult to make 3 oz. of something last 30 minutes!

5. I could definitely step up the exercise!

I don't get my Protein requirements (60 grams) and I kind of don't really try anymore. I just get 30-40 and call it a day. When I tried really hard to do nothing but Protein and the full 60 grams, I was light-headed and weak and I felt awful, now that I eat more carbs, I feel great and have more energy so I am thinking maybe I'm just one of those who needs more carbs and the weight loss hasn't suffered so no harm, no foul as far as I'm concerned.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
