Heyy guys! I'm back

Did my weight class on Saturday. Weighed in and lost another pound I had gained over Halloween. Not to bad since it was Thanksgiving week! I'm starting a new diet today. Alot different from weight watchers. A friend of mine has been doing this for 6 months and has seen huge changes. So hopefully this will work. But I gotta get off my sugar addiction which is gonna be damn hard. Anyways it's eating like 6 times a day and it's eating at the right time of the day. Also before workout and after workout. It's a body building diet but it's for losing fat mass right now. The thing is I dunno how well this will work with the band. So I'm just gonna try and see.

Also worked out on Sunday. 20 minutes circuit machines, 110 crunches, then 15 minutes eleptical and 15 minutes treadmill. Supposedly I'm suppose to do the weight machines first before cardio. Who knew..lol

Well its already not working...basically the morning wasn't bad at all..eggwhite omelet with spinach..half slice of cheese..and some pineapple..

But second meal was chicken..wayyy to early for me to be eating chicken..so of course it got stuck..and now im wayyy behind on eating..

The band is just made to hold your food for hours..eating this often I dunno..I'm gonna try and talk to my friend about making it better for my needs. Although I'm sure he'll be upset and just say I'm "making excuses" LOL.

As far as the food..it's alot of spinach..and lean Protein..and lets see..walnuts..carrots..red pepper...oh hell here ill type out a day

Meal #1

1 cup of egg whites

1/2 cup spinach

1/2 slice cheese

1/2 cup pineapple

3 fish oil capsules

to drink: 1 cup green tea with lemon..(no additives to the tea, make sure u look for sugar on the label)

1 cup Water

Meal #2

4 oz grilled chicken breast

1/2 cup spinach

1/2 cup red pepper, sliced

1/4 cup onion, sliced

1 tbsp flax oil

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

to drink:

1 cup Water

Meal #3

4oz grilled extra lean beef

1/2 cup spinach

1/2 cup carrots

2 tbsp walnuts

1 tsp fresh garlic, minced

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

3 fish oil capsules

to drink:

1 cup water

I'll stop there just so you get an idea..there's 3 more meals pretty much the same way..except for meal #6 thats 1/2 cup plain yogurt with 1 scoop milk Protein powder. This is just for women who want to loose fat mass..also there's a workout drink and a post workout drink..geezee..its alot to eat in a day..

Ohh this comes from something called No Nonsense Nutrition..I gotta get the guys name again who is the author of it all.

Isn't it funny, that seems like sooo much food. And the chicken would sooo not work for me that early either. But it would definately work, I mean, you get your lean meats, lots of veggies, and healthy oils. How many calories do you consume on an average day?

You know I really don't know how many calories a day. I've been doing weight watchers and it's all been points. So I'm assuming about 1500-1700 a day.

I guess that menu is like the back bone to nutritional eating. There are more foods thank God I can eat I just have to figure out how they are metabolized. Which thank goodness I just ask my friend..lol

Yeah I was bad today I had to use some pudding to push through my chicken stuckage. I knew it would work and it did. I had been sick like 3 times before that. mmmm..pudding..LOL

chicken and pudding.....hmmmmmmmm, it definately would help chicken go down!

Ok, got a talking to from the personal trainer....somehow she can tell that I've been slacking in the cardio and eating areas (gee, I wonder how, I look exactly the same that I did in september!!!!! So, I think for the next few weeks, I'm going to try much harder to work on the diet thing. And the cardio. I know, I know. I feel like I'm repeating myself over and over again. I know I've said this at least 5 times this month.

I think its time for some chicken and spinach!

Hello, everybody! Here's wishing you all a wonderful week!

240 crunches, three sets of "kickbacks" on the cables (I don't know what they are really called, but they sure are great for the butt!) for each leg before my training buddy got there.

Then we did one hell of a chest workout for two and a half hours. God, it felt good!

Tomorrow is leg day...gonna try and push the leg press up to 280 this time, if it doesn't kill me!

      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.
