The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

My food plan go forward Posted by Krista on 11/11/2025, 8:52 am Emailed with the nutritionist yesterday and now that I am 7 weeks out, I should be able to eat all healthy foods. I still have to grind meat or really chew it to death, but that's ok. We're going to try roast beef tonight and I'm looking forward to salmon on the weekend. This is from the nutritionist at the Sleeve Clinic. Protein goal: 70-110 gr/day Make sure that you have 3-4 servings of veggies and fruits a day. Protein for each meal coming from different sources. For the starches, try to avoid them. They don't have much nutritional value, you can have complex carbs as you should (e.x grains) She sent me sample meal plans as well so I'll be looking at all that today! Not too hard to follow these guidelines!

Your food plan... Posted by Joan on 11/12/2025, 6:22 am, in reply to "My food plan go forward" looks great to me, especially since you have some sample meal plans! I'd probably be sticking close to those for now.

I am glad to hear Posted by Delta on 11/12/2025, 1:21 am, in reply to "My food plan go forward" that they are staying in close contact with you and that the guidelines don't feel too hard to follow. I know that you want it to go faster, but when I look at how well you have done while I have struggled going up and down to lose less than 5 new pounds in the same time, it seems like you are doing very well.

Krista Posted by Beverly on 11/11/2025, 6:45 pm, in reply to "My food plan go forward" You AREmaking prgress. It seems no matter what is not fast after it's fast. I don't like when that happens either. Like your friends in the program say... trust the process. Those darn starches!! I hope the sample meals are very helpful.

I felt… Posted by Cindy on 11/11/2025, 1:45 pm, in reply to "My food plan go forward" Your frustrations yesterday but wasn’t sure what to say. For what it’s worth-I don’t think you wasted almost $20 grand. Any money spent on improving our health is not wasted. You are not 300 pounds anymore and that right there has improved your health. It will come together. You just have to be patient and work your program. Do what they tell you to do and see what happens! We are ALL behind you girl. You got this!! Love you!

Sounds great! Posted by Paula on 11/11/2025, 9:05 am, in reply to "My food plan go forward" I love how close they are following you. I saw you were pretty down (yesterday?) about not losing faster. I was thinking how much the concept of immediate gratification plays into all of our eating problems. I think that has something to do with why I am messing up so badly right now. There's a part of me that began to panic when I hit 235. "I'm never going to be able to maintain this. Or, losing more is going to be slow or even impossible." So, with that negative self-talk, I am sabotaging myself. Since I'm going to fail, I might as well initiate it and take charge of it. Crazy! Decided that starting today, I'm going to track every bite even if it comes out to 5000 calories!

Good for you! Posted by Krista on 11/11/2025, 9:07 am, in reply to "Sounds great!" Every step we take is a GOOD ONE - even the learning ones I'm so proud of you and YOU motivate ME!
