My goals for right now is just to change eating habits...i need to stop eating all that bad stuff....fatty oily stuff and sugary stuff.....i need to just do it....and i need to start EXERCISING  period!!  i am sooo anxious to get this surg over with.....I also know that i will have to follow all my post op insructions!

So today- I was thinking about all the things we need to change in our lives before and after the surgery... and we might as well do it together right?!

I need to work on-

1. Drinking more water!
2. Working Out & Walking
3. Taking my Supliments Everyday
4. Cutting out the caffene
5. Eating Healthy


I am still waiting for the referal, and approval for my surgery, so I cant lose any weight YET- But I can start to make improvments now...

I am going to start to drink more water, water, water... I like to drink the lipton to go Ice Tea...I put one of those in a big water jug and am happy with that- so I am going to work on drinking more that way...Someone told me to have my time driving be my drinking time- This worked well for me when i was working, while i was sitting in traffic, i would drink, and kept it up- maybe this will help some of you guys...

So i thought maybe we could help each other to reach some of our goals, pre & post op...

What do you guys have to work on?!?

Hi there! At 3 weeks out, i was still on mushies. Cottage cheese, yogurt and mozzarella cheese sticks chewed to death. My docs orders were no rice or gravies until i was at goal. No fruit or veggies until about 1 1/2 month out. When I was given the OK for fruits, it was only berries. Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries as they have the least amount of sugar.

Take care!

eating and drinking, that was a problem of mines too..i would ALWAYS drink a diet coke or 2 with my meals pior to surgery...and then, i couldent drink anything..yuk!i heard of a trick to help with this...When you make your meals get a shot glass...and fill it with water....and that is your water for your meal... seems silly- but i think it worked....Good luck!

Yea- i dident have the RNY but i dunno about rice... or hambuger meat so early on....

Start off slow- like cottage chesse, and chicken brest.. dont want to shock your self by eatting stuff that is real fatty...

Stick to stuff that is safe and easy to eat....

i dunno, maybe you should see a nutritionist- and see what they say- the more info you have the beter right... I know i learned alot when i went...

I know you dont want to dump, and its hard to tell what will make your body do it,

good luck and keep us updated as to whatcha do!!
