Weekends are becoming my enemy :thumbup:

Me too! There is soooo much going on over the weekends that revolve around food. I'm going to a birthday party in a bit, and there will be junk food galore, lol. I have done well today so far, just hope I can keep it up through tonight.

How far along are you in your surgery process? Do they just not go down for you? I will admit that the greens were cooked down so well that they melted in the mouth. That is probably the only reason I was able to get them down.

I'm over a year out. I've tried collards but haven't tried the blackeyed peas yet. I might just try them this week.

I did okay!! I stayed the same--no gain or loss?!

Today was a blur :lol:- Got up early to run errands, all was ok until my youngest DS had an accident on his scooter. He fell and hurt his left hand. Ended up at Urgent Care for 3.5 hours though. He's ok, just sore.

So just when I thought I’d be on top of my meals and journaling, this happened.

Did good though, didn’t eat junk food all day but didn’t eat like I usual do for the day, every 1-2 hours or drink like I usually do.

Ya; I was hungry!:blink:

Today:

8am B/Oatmeal

11pm s/small bag of gummies

2pm L/Tuna salad on flour tortilla w/lettuce, 2 sl American Chz, 7 Doritos chips

3:30p s/Nature Vlly Oats & Honey 1 of a two pack

8pm D/Tuna Salad sandwich on white, 7 Doritos chips

Water: 48 oz

georgia girl-how did you do at the party?

My mom said maybe I should have Protein Shakes during the weekend to maintain. I'll try it tomorrow.

TVP is texturized vegetable Protein (in the granular form it looks like brown rice or bulgur, it also comes in strips as a meat substitute). I bought the granular form, I've found several recipes for it (oatmeal, fried "rice", things like that). I made it (reconstituted it with chicken broth), used it as rice and topped it with chili, lf sour cream, lf cheese and green onions...it has about 80 calories per 1/2 cup and 1 g carbs.

yesterday

bad food day, nothing would stay down

dinner-low carb chili over 1/4 cup tvp topped with lf sour cream, lf cheese and green onion

lots of Water

that sounds interesting - where did you get it?

i am waiting on DH to wake up and hit the gym/farmers market/whole foods. i'm up 6lbs in 2wks - which is fine considering the fast loss of 11 when i was sick. but i got to CHECK my appetite & intake here this wk. don't have the time to spend 3hrs in the gym to counter my food:ohmy:

      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.
