I have been attempting to cut a few items out of diet before I even meet with the surgeon on Wednesday. I have actually gotten to a point that when I slip up I feel really guilty! I have found that it is easier to stick with these changes if I eat before I get to that point of feeling like I am starving.
Things that I have cut out/back on:
Soda-still a work in progress and this is probably the hardest one for me
Sugars
Breads and Simple Carbs
Another thing that I have been trying to do is not to eat in the car or drink anything in the car besides water. I have found that when I eat or drink things in the car (Water included) I do not pay attention to the quantity I have consumed. Now, for the most part this isn't a bad thing with water, it is when it is food and other beverages.
I have also been trying to make sure that I think about what I am eating while I eat it. This has helped me listen to my hunger signals more and know when I am full. I have also been putting my fork/spoon/spork down between bites.
Now I am not going to say I am consistent with this, I am trying to be, but I have noticed that when I am I don't eat as much and I feel better since I am over full!
