Jump Start Plateau Breaker

[Guest guest]

Many of you have asked about a jump start plan. This is the one my

surgeon recommends. YMMV.

B

Your first priority is drinking two quarts of water every day for the

rest of your life. It is essential to your weight loss and continued

good health. You MUST have 120-160 grams of protein supplement and

all

of your vitamin and mineral supplements each day to maintain adequate

protein, vitamin and mineral levels for optimum weight loss. You

may

consume up to three ounces of the following high protein foods 5

times a

day. ****NOTE**** I am a distal RNY

HIGH PROTEIN FOODS:

MEAT

Beef

Pork

Chicken

Turkey

Lamb Fish

OTHER SOURCES

Eggs

Cheese (low fat)

Cottage cheese

Yogurt (plain or artificially sweetened)

peanut butter

Beans

You may also have:

Sugar free popsicles (avoid Welches or all-fruit juice pops). Stick

to

artificially sweetened varieties.

Tea or coffee

sugar free sodas

sugar free Jell-O

Broths and Bouillons

Crystal Lite Drinks

If it is not on the list, you may not have it!!!!

If you feel hungry between meals, try hot soup stock. Swanson's

chicken or beef broth with the fat skimmed off is a good choice. Add

your favorite herbs and spices. If you want to add fresh vegetables

for

flavor, strain before serving. For interesting beverages, try

mixing

flavored herbal teas with Crystal Lte or diet sodas for new flavors.

Keep a diary to keep you on track. Do your best to get 30 minutes of

aerobic exercise daily.

This information is wonderful but definitely one where Your Mileage May

Vary. I had the VBG and do not need anywhere near 120 grams of protein a

day. I need a minimum of 50 to 65. Everything else is a wonderful

suggestion.

Thanks !! I was just wondering......I know that the water and exercise

are life things, as well as the protein. But is there a specific time frame

that this formula should be used....I notice you had said " jump-start " so I

thought that it is for a limited time!! I have really got to do something

quick!! I have really allowed myself to slip into a bad place of " comfort. "

I just had a real eye-opener getting into the shower!!!! I lifted my arm to

brush my hair away and noticed that the big bulge, at the end of the upper

arm right before the elbow joint, is back.....I could have had a heart

attack......I kept telling myself that I am only 6 pounds up from my all

time lowest......thinking that it couldn't be THAT bad:( Well, what I

failed to take into consideration was WHAT that weight consisted of!! It is

FAT and not muscle...I had been working out big time 6 days a week for over

a year when I was at the lower weight. Now I haven't worked out for 6

months (due to tt.) Man, is that depressing!! Well, it's back to " plateau

breaking " and blood sweat and tears for me P.

My surgeon has recommended just 10 days at a time. Then stop, and gradually

intro some carbs and then use this plan when you need it.

Take care,

I actually stock up on cottage cheese, cheese cubes for work, and then maybe

some deli meat. I don't eat much so this is easy - but I do find when I

" try " this, I start reaching for the carbs by the second day unconciously.

After all, *I* am the " cracker queen " . LOL

I think we have the same " how to' book. Only I took a detour, you stayed on

track, but I'm back now.......... and I feel like I may have finally broke

that plateau after the malnutrition weight gain.... I was down 3 1/2 lbs

yesterday - and I think it's " real " cuz I fastened my belt buckle on a new

loop - one that had never been " looped " before!!!! So, I think maybe my body

doesn't think it's starving anymore???? Geesh, it only TOOK it 10 months to

figure it out!!!!!!

ME TOO! My sisters and I all jokingly refer to ourselves as " The Carb

Queens " ....we say that if you aren't addicted to carbs than you can't possible

be from this blood line!! I have been ousting the carbs for the last 4 or 5

days now......what a difference.....I don't realize how addicted I am and how

horrible they are till I cut them out!! I haven't had any cravings for 3 days

now and have RE-lost the 2.5 pounds again!! I keep telling myself to just

chill....I still have 30 pounds to lose and in the back of my mind (thinking

like I am still 250) I keep thinking that, gee,30 pounds, I oughta be able to

take that off in 5 or 6 weeks......I WISH......looking at it realistically this

A.M. I realized that it could take up to 2 years at the speed I am going!!!!

Wow......I guess slow and steady does it!!!!!!!! P.

:

If you love crackers, and I do too, you might try ones that are 100% whole

wheat. Whole Foods Markets sell one that's like a triscuit. The *only*

ingredients are whole wheat and salt. This is a more complex carbohydrate

than those with white flour or whole wheat flour. The whole wheat flour

ones are just as much like sugar as the white flour ones. The brown color

just makes us feel like we're being healthy.
