Overnight oats

Been I am listening, I can't remember the last time I had a Luna bar. I said I'm starting anew and yes I listen. I came back here at the advice of my therapist for help and yes accountability.

Gwen..not been this kindle types what it wants ugh

And you have vanished again.

Welcome back. We haven't seen you in ages, or at least since the last time you were struggling with weight regain.

Is there a reason why you changed your screen name and deleted several of your past comments? Hope that everything is okay emotionally with you.

after seeing my nutritionist and therapist I was really motivated and ready to go. I felt like I wanted to start new, like a new beginning. No I haven't lost my mind, last year was a difficult year, was in hospital due to malnutrition and was put on a different med. that's when the wt gain started, I was holding steady last time with I think 15 lbs til goal, well, anyway, yeah I wanted to start fresh as for deleting posts, I just didn't like what I was seeing. So I deleted them. Thank you for your comments and my goodness you have really been successful. I need your motivation and Gwens but I'm ready now, I really am, all those clothes I bought don't fit and it bothers me. Appreciate any help I can get. YOu go girl

If you're not sure about your diet, maybe tell us what you ate today (or yesterday) and we can provide feedback. There's also a VSG thread everyday where people put what they eat. GO there for recommendations and to post to keep yourself honest

Ok thank you, I struggle bc of food allergies so I gave up but I'm back bc I wanna feel well and lose the fat

What are the allergens you need to avoid?

When they tell you fiber and protein, think fiber from vegetables instead of foods high in carbs. That overnight oatmeal is amazing, but doesn't really give you much else but a full belly and a shot of energy that if left unused, goes straight to your rear end. I would revisit oatmeal after hitting your goal. Otherwise, if you're going for an intensive workout first thing in the morning, enjoy some oatmeal beforehand, and then enjoy an egg when you're done to help repair the muscle you just worked. If your morning is just getting ready for work, that egg will kick your brain in gear and get you ready.

Convenience foods like skinny pop and luna bars are pure crap. Instead, try avoiding all processed convenience foods. You'll have a better idea what you're feeding your body and can do so very thoughtfully. Stick with whole foods the way nature made them, and avoid chemically processed foods altered to be lower carb or lower fat (never lower fat). You'll feel more satisfied, too.

Hi Glo P.

I hope things went well with your medical visits. Can you tell us a little bit about #5 the heart palpitations all day Please> I have those too and they really scare me.
