I’ve completed my PT exercises this morning and will ride my recumbent bike later. In fact I may try increasing the tension a little, but won’t ride as long. Maybe start out with 5 minutes and see how that goes. I had eggbeaters for breakfast, lunch I’m not sure yet, and dinner will be buffalo chicken breast (new recipe from a Bariatric cookbook)…[Read more]

Water, about 20 oz. (yet again). I may have to get myself an ulla!!! I don’t plan on eating anything else tonight and will probably head to bed around 11:oo. Majority of the day I’ve been unplugged.

Water, about 20 oz. Unplugged for 1 hour or more at various times during the day. No food at least 1 hour before bed.

Wishing you luck and a quick turnaround on the results!!

@sarahlareina, I have experienced quick drops in my blood sugar and when that happens I start getting very hot & sweaty and shaky. Usually I know the cause, which may be from to many “bad” carbs (sugar, white flour) or too much caffeine. Also, I’ve noticed it happens if I don’t eat enough throughout the day or if I haven’t drunk enough water…[Read more]

OK, maybe this is or isn’t about weight loss, but there are certain things that I choose to eat/drink that are non-negotiable.

Firstly, my coffee. I like my coffee light and since you don’t need a lot if you use cream, light cream or half & half I feel that the small amount I use is fine. If I were to use milk, I’d need to use lots more to get my…[Read more]

Water maybe 20 oz. Unplugged more than an hour several times. Last food at least 1 hour before bed.

Whew, you could cut the air with a knife here in Upstate NY today!!! Temps in low 80’s, but dew points in the upper 60’s and possibly 70 (oppressive)!! We’ve had storm upon storm today (nothing severe), but nevertheless gloomy. I may be turning a corner with my bronchitis today. Feeling a little better. Had a Bariatric Fusion Chocolate Mousse…[Read more]

I’m not really big on them, but if I do, I try to look for those with Stevia vs. sucralose (splenda). Will not use if it has aspartame.

I didn’t manage to complete 2 of the 3 (not feeling well). Not much water and I was very tired last night so I didn’t make the 60 minutes before bed not eating. I did however achieve at least 60 minutes unplugged.

👍👍

Hmmm……good question. At times it could be the fact of fear of success/failure. Since I’m just over 1 year out (15 months), I tend to at this time go into panic mode if I see that I may be starting to go back to old habits. I will get mad and give myself a good talking to in order to get back into the right and positive frame of mind. It seems…[Read more]

For the most part I have been unplugged most of the day. It was only an hour ago that I actually looked at my emails and the FNC. I only had a couple text messages, so I really wasn’t looking at my phone much. Water, well this is one challenge that I will be working on FOREVER! I just don’t have the motivation for water as I would for other…[Read more]

Didn’t manage to get much water in, maybe 20 oz. I “unplugged” for at least one hour in the morning if not more. No food 2 hours before bed.

Not too sore today, about the same as yesterday. Did all PT exercises, 11 minutes on recumbent bike and went out (yes, out of the house!! Boy what a treat!!) with my husband tonight. Had a Bariatric Fusion Strawberry Shortcake protein shake blended with banana, blueberries and ice for breakfast, leftover black and garbanzo bean salad for lunch and…[Read more]

That’s great!!!

A day late, but yesterday was not a day I had the energy to put into myself. Probably had only 20 oz. of water, decaf coffee. No food 1 hour before bed.
