Topic: RE: Wennesdays plan
Yesterday didnt go to bad. Never got to the grapes but thats OK. Didnt make it to the gym either, ended up going and playing softball with hubs and the kido instead thanks to canceled games.
anyways, here is today
Breakfast: egg/egg substitute scramble with low fat cheese and 2 wasa crackers
Lunch: 1 cup chili with low fat cheese
Dinner: 4pz chicken with corn on the cob (YUM!)
Dessert: fat free/sugar free pudding
Do plan on hitting up the gym today. Ofcourse hubs may be late picking kido up from camp in which case I hope to do a bike ride with him (cant go to the gym when you are 10!). Hope the weather holds!!

A weekend day in Sept. sounds good to me. Maybe the 3rd or 4th Saturday? Not sure a good place to meet though. We're all from different areas. Any suggestions?

Hi there, and welcome. You will love this board! Congrats on your date! It is exciting and totally scary at the same time. Nerves are so much a part of this process, so don't think you are alone. The first thing you need to come to grips with is that you are going to be losing your best friend you have had for so many years! FOOD! But it is a good thing. Sometimes it is good to say good bye to friends, and hello to new found strengths. Just go into everything with a good attitude that you are doing this for your little ones and your family, so you will be there for them for a very long time.
I don't know if I battled my fears, because I made them a part of my process. I did not give into them, but I learned to control the fear somewhat. Now the fear of the procedure is replaced by the high of losing weight, and a little bit of fear of putting it back on, which if it does not completely overcome you, is a very good thing.
HUM Protein shakes....everyone's favorite subject. Try one, try another. It really does not matter what everyone else likes. I am not sure where you live, but Herbal Path in Portsmouth and Dover offer single serving packages of many shakes. Also, Nashua Nutrition (online or at their store) also offer sample packs. I like both FitSmart and Muscle Milk Light. I mix the chocolate with frozen black cherries or peanut butter (just a little), smart balance or simply smart milk, and two or three ice cubes. Vanilla I use the milk, two or three ice cubes, and orange or cherry pomegranate crystal light. I was thinking of trying other flavors too. I only use a half of a single serving packet. Other people love Maximum Protein from independently owned GNC stores. Some of the support groups will have people who will offer to give you a sample of what they use. Let me know, and I can get you some of the muscle milk light. Either way, be prepared to maybe not like it after surgery or later on. Your tastes do change.
Good luck, and keep posting.

You know, it will not hurt you to munch on some crackers at night if you need to. Just don't eat the whole box! I love the kashi mediterranean and honey sesame. I like just about all of the kashi crackers. They are good for you, have protein and a really good crunch, so you are not just filling up on carbs, there are other good things in them too.

Ya, Ya, Gotsnqw!!!!! You get up earlier than I do!!! But good you are posting, just need work on your spelling :-)))
Hey Welcome Sookie!!! Glad to have you with us.
My plan, well yesterday was totally wrong as far as my plan, but I did very good, and am down another .6 which makes 2.80 so far for the week!!!!! I think I am back to where I was just before I started my plans.
So here is my plan for today.
Coffee with sugar free french vanilla
Shake with smart balance milk and crystal light. Might try a new flavor today!
Lunch will be yesterday's lunch, macaroni salad with 3 ounces of tuna. (had staff lunch at work yesterday, surprise!)
Dinner: chicken with fresh from our garden tomatoes and sliced baked potatoes.
I have baby bell cheese, my new favorite, and cottage cheese for snacks if needed.
I feel so much better doing my plans again. I feel more in control, have been able to beat some of the cravings, and it reminds me every day to eat well.

welcome to the board!
your fears are very justified as with any surgery... but the risks of being obese are much higher than the risks from the surgery! i had my RNY on Jan. 27 this year and i was scared to death the week before but everything went well and i am now down around 130lb 5-10 lbs below the doctors goal for me ant 10 lbs from my goal! this is a great place to ask questions, rant or just keep up with all your friends you will meet along the way(and you will make some great friends i know i have) ...
as for the shakes ... good luck.... i personally loved body fortress before surgery i drank them for the first 4 weeks post-op now.... the thought of drinking one makes me gag! i now drink the pre made EAS carb advantage shakes and love them (been drinking them for 4 mos. now) ..
good luck with your journey and there is a spot for you here on the losers bench with the rest of us l"loser's"
