I am a few months away from having a revision to a RNY weight loss surgery I had. I weigh 283 today. I thought I would give it one last whole hearted try. I am scared because I am 57 and facing an extreme surgery and want to try again to lose the weight without surgery. Okay, here is my plan...
What do you all think?
For Breakfast:
cup of yogurt, half cup of blueberries, 1/4 cup of Fiber One, 1/4 cup soynuts
stirred altogether....been eating this for a year so it is a habit.
For Lunch:
A Lean Cuisine OR a six inch veggie patty subway sandwich with tons of veggies
For Supper:
A protein shake (Nutramet meal replacement)
Now, IF I go through with the surgery, which I have already been handed the post surgery manual, I will be restricted to eat 600 calories a day for year or until the weight is lost.
I have gotten rid of all the bad food as I honestly have no control if it is in the house...if it is here, I will eat it. I am that much of a noodle.
I can't go out to eat because it is too much temptation...I am also a sweet tooth person, so I have to just stay away from the bakery section of the grocery also. I ate too much after RNY and ruined my stomach. The next step is the Duodenal Switch...meaning you only absorb half the calories of what you eat, but you also gain a lifetime of keeping up with vitamins and labwork. I joined to YMCA to go swimming and I plan to walk everyother day. If anybody has any advice, lay it on me. I want to be able to lose this....wondering at my age if it is possible...I need to lose 133 pounds!!
