I have been overweight my entire life and after having my son, I topped out at my heaviest weight of 326. I wanted to be healthy for my son and my family. So, I started a new diet and exercise routine. Something I hadn’t done before. Usually, I would do one without the other (diet with no exercise or exercise with no diet). On April 12th, I started packing my lunch and making healthier choices. Here is my typical day:
Bfast–Carnation No sugar added instant breakfast with a scoop of protein powder
Snack–cottage cheese
Lunch–soup or turkey and swiss on whole wheat
sugar free choc pudding
Snack–light yogurt with protein powder
Dinner–lean meat, cooked veggies, and fresh fruit
Snack–light popcorn
I also started working out (30 min cardio and 15 min weight lifting) at the gym 4 times a week.
Age–29
Gender–female
Height–5’4"
Weight–308 (down 18 pounds from start; put figuring most was water weight)
I have been doing this now for a month and a half. I can’t really tell a difference physically, but I do feel better and am feeling more limber and strong. If I continue this, will I start seeing real results soon. Anything I should do different. I’m planning on getting weight loss surgery at the end of summer and I need to be 290 before they can do the surgery. Is this reasonable?
Also, when calculating my target calories for weight loss, taking into account my BMR with activity and energy needed for digestion, my calories would be 3324/day to maintain my weight. So, if I consume -500, making it 2824, will that help lose weight slowly and be healthy? Right now, I’m only consuming about 2200 calories a day. Will that cause my body to go into starvation mode or will it burn fat for energy?
I do have some Fiber One bars at home. I put them in my husbands lunch. I will start eating one of those at lunch. I also take Metamucil at night after dinner to help with my fiber. I also take 2 Viactiv calcium chews a day and a multi-vitamin. Thanks for all the support. I also drink water all day long at work and in the evenings after working out.
My surgeon advised me to increase my protein intake; cut out white bread, pasta, and rice; and always concentrate on meat, cheese, and beans first. Then, fill in the rest with veggies and fruit. I’m not a big fan of veggies, but I try and get them in my diet where I can. What is your opinion on the V-fusion drinks or low sodium V8?
Your diet looks amazing! The only thing I would possibly change is that I would up the fiber intake. People sometimes don’t realize how detrimental fiber is to weight lose. It will get things ‘moving’ comfortably and help you keep good nutrients and dispose of the bad. I try to eat a lot of high fiber foods such as asparagus and strawberries. I also have found that fiber one bars are AMAZING!! the strawberry and oats is an addiction of mine. Anyway, back to you. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids which I’m sure you know, multivitamins are also needed. They jar a lot of vitamins that say ‘heart health’ and ‘metabolism (something or another)’ like vitamin b 12 ect…. Try adding those to your regime.
Congrats on the weight lose so far and I hope that when you get to your 290 goal (which you will) you will decide that this is something that you can handle on your own. Its a lifestlye change. Once you have changes it and become accustom to it, you will succeed!I started at 250 and am down to 150-155.

Malabsorptive operations, such as biliopancreatic diversion restrict both food intake and the amount of calories and nutrients the body absorbs. In a Biliopancreatic diversion surgery procedure, portions of the stomach are removed. The small pouch that remains is connected directly to the final segment of the small intestine, completely bypassing the duodenum and the jejunum.

Weight loss occurs since most of the calories and nutrients are routed into the colon where they are not absorbed.
