well its working for me..

I have figured out my triggers for over eating. Food in general. I like the taste of things and i eat them until they are gone. I like to make and eat. i like to create things that taste good and in turn over eat. Because im always wanting to create things. Now the challenge will be to create things that are healthier and still taste good. Problem is, I dont want to eat. And I dont like to waste money on uneaten food.

Found out my pouch hates turkey. So far I have only tried deli turkey. And it hates eating things more than once. Still cant drink plain water yet.

Having a hard time remembering to take my vitamins because im not hungry and not getting in all my protein and water either. BUT...

I am down 38 lbs since I started. WOOOHOOOO!

Approved!

Well, I got the call. My insurance approved me!. Now I justt have to cal back in August to make my pre-op appt with the surgeon for Sept so that he can set a date in Oct. I was really excited about everything up until this weekend  when I actually thought about the morning of the surgery. going to the hospital and then needles and then being put under and waking up in recovery. Its kinda scary now. I have also completely kicked the Diet Coke! Tea was my gateway for about a month and now i have switched to completely water. I dont like flavored waters so plain is ok by me.

I have a ton of stuff stashed away for after surgery. From Protein powder samples to RTD shakes to liquid gummy and chewable vitamins to little cute lunch boxes for protioning out my food. I have also been trying some really good protein shake recipes.


Heres one:

1) vanilla protein powder serving and  liquid per directions( i used skim milk for more protein)
2)fat free lemon yogurt ( regular or greek)
3) handful of ice
4)teaspoon(or less if its too much) lemon extract

mix and let sit until foam settles ( it tastes really gross)

I make mine at night and drink next morning...

It tastes like lemon cake batter.

Enjoy!
