LisaDomalewski got a reaction from Niki15 in How often is it okay to eat?
my nut tells me to eat 3 small meals and 2-3 Snacks a day, eating every 2 to 3 hours. I exercise 6 days a week, and have been extremely successful losing 83 pounds so far. I stick with high Protein low carb, no white carbs, but I am allowed high Fiber toast and English muffins. This is my life style and the way I will eat. I track every morsel of food, and I monitor my calorie intake. I eat 800-1200 calories a day. On Maintenance I will need to eat more. I could not get in my Protein in 3 meals. Nobody is fooling themselves, and everyones plan is different.

LisaDomalewski got a reaction from VSGAnn2014 in 11 months out and no weight loss for half of it
What I find interesting here, is although you are eating some bad carbs, your calorie intake at 1200 calories still should support losing weight. Before I had the gastric sleeve, when I slimmer pre-kids, I lost 35 pounds on weight watchers, I ate everything but still lost weight, as I was burning more than I took in, so a hard question. Are you estimating what you are eating in MFP or putting actuals. It may make a difference.

LisaDomalewski got a reaction from tracywag in Need help from other busy working Moms!
I have a full time job, and 2 young kids with tons of activities. Planning is the key. You have to make time to prepare your food for the week, and pack Snacks and food, so you can eat every 3 hours or so. I also have a Water bottle, and track my Fluid intake on my fit bit app. I use my fitness pal for food and exercise. Its a commitment for sure, and it is hard, because I always put my kids first. I have to say to myself, you need time too, for a healthier you! Last night, since I did not make it to the gym. I decided I would go walking. My 4 year old lol, blocked the door, and said NO MOMMY!!! , but I gulped and went anyway. My hubby said he was fine about 30 seconds after I left. I walked 2 miles and felt great!
XOXOXOX

LisaDomalewski reacted to ShellMilliner in WLS Eats
I was told to stick to 40/40 carbs and fats. My primary focus is on Protein 80-100 grams/day, veggies and my Water. I do use straws as it significantly increases my ablity to get my liquids in and I have not had any issues with gas. I was told I could have wine or other non-carbonated alcoholic beverages after a year but just one on occassion because of the sugar/carb content. I do have a couple crackers or pretzel crisps now and again when I have tuna salad, usually no more than 2-3 crackers in total. It gives me that much needed crunch since I still am not allowed raw veggies (carrots are my favorite). I also had a very toasted 1/2 slice of bread with my eggs the other morning. Both are allowed per my plan and stage.
I was told pastas, rice and potatoes are okay but in very small quantities. And to always start with my Protein and at least eat half of it before starting the veg, eat half of the veg before a bite of the starch. Take a couple bites of starch and move back to the protein. The idea is you will finish your protein and veg and likely not have room for the starch at the end.
I do miss pizza and I can only imagine there will be a time in the future when I will try to have a slice of thin or flat bread pizza and I think that is okay. The NUT said many people find the crust too Gummy and that a crisp flat bread is the way to go or just to eat the toppings.
Personally, I don't think complete deprevision (unless it is harmful) is always the best way to go. Part of the journey is re-training your brain as well as your stomach. I think a balance can be struck and there are foods that can be enjoyed in moderation or only on special occasion. Of course if you have a trigger food then finding healthy substitutes might be best.
