I got weighed today and I found out that I gained 5 lbs from the last time I saw the nutritionist (back on 6/21/16). My last NUT weigh in is on August 18th...so I have to make this last month count. After today (7/12/16), no more caffeine, carbonated drinks and sugar.

You can do this!!! Drink lots of no calorie drinks, watch your sodium intake and do high Protein low carb.

Update:

Upping my Water intake and cutting out sugar and carbonated drinks entirely. I have a bag of Splenda that I'l be using for my tea (sparingly). My last weigh-in is a month from today, 7/18/2016 and I have to lose weight or else I'll get denied by my insurance company for lack of effort.

I won't be able to move like I mentioned previously because the landlord rented the room to someone that could pay more than I could. I'll have to buy a mini-fridge of my own and put a lock on it (since my roommate is known for eating other people's food and not replacing it). I've been constantly reminding my roommates not to offer me any food, because I won't be able to eat regular food for a long time.

In another month, I know I'll have lost at least 5+ lbs. Due to my osteoarthritis, I can only do certain exercises and I recently found workout routines via YouTube I can do from home (for those with arthritis).

Things are looking up for me :-)

Someone on here suggested doing the pre-op liquid diet for a few weeks...I'll try it and see what happens :-)

Hi

I was in a similar place but last visit got scared that they wouldn't do the surgery if I didn't lose. I suddenly realized I was just going to have to be hungry. It feels terrible but I'm using it as a reminder that I'm working toward being smaller and that's a good thing! Good luck!

Katie

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
