TODAY’S DINNER Today I had 5 chicken nuggets with zero calorie BBQ sauce. 200 calories 12 g protein 2 g sugar 9 g fat

NEW HAIR CUT

One more thing. My doctor said that since I had so much weight to lose he actually thought it would be best to do the sleeve and then do a revision so I could get to my goal weight. Of course I said no, RNY please, one surgery. Because I’m trying to get pregnant after and can’t have two surgery’s to wait four years to have kids! I’m 31

Some people don’t qualify for RNY. With my doctor it depends on your BMI.

WEIGHT UPDATE-almost 4 weeks post op Down to 328 this morning! In 8 lbs I will meet the “normal range” of weight loss after surgery. That would be 25 down in 6 weeks with two more weeks to go. Here’s a photo from my baritastic app of my losing. Also, I’ve been losing the app for inches and I’ve lost 10 inches overall! I have my first full personal training session today so I’m super excited!

DOWN 31 POUNDS ? Going to treat myself with this new hair cut and color. Also got my nails done with my bestie!

WEIGHT LOSS AND EXERCISE So, I did my personal training evaluation and watched some motivational videos and I finally got on the elliptical at home! I know it’s a small step but today I woke up a pound less so feeling great!

PERSONAL TRAINING So, I’ve done PT before. I was excited about the place I found; I thought it was in my budget. I felt like it was a bait and switch when I walked in a month later and they said the training I wanted was $200 more. Luckily, after a very stressful afternoon we found a middle ground. I start tomorrow on my twice weekly semi-private lessons. I really need this because I need the accountability. I already have aerobic equipment in my house so a gym doesn’t make sense. I need an accountability partner who will encourage me to meet my health goals. So, back to training for me. If I had never left maybe I wouldn’t have gotten to the size I was. Either way, it always brings a smile to my face to make progress with my physical fitness.

WHAT I ATE TODAY -2 ounces fat free cheddar cheese with jalapeño and cheddar sausage 1/2 link (1 ounce) -21g protein -fudgesicle -40 calories -jimmy dean turkey sausage breakfast bowl 3 ounces (pictures above)- 9g protein -DINNER-pictured below Taco Rice (minus the rice) 1 ounce ground taco beef 1 ounce cheddar cheese 1 ounce refried beans 1 ounce salsa STATS 170 calories 8g carbs 1g sugar 10g fat 13g protein Day totals- 712 calories 36g carbs 14g sugar 45g protein

HELP! 1. Does anyone know how many net carbs (mine are not from sugar) we should be having in soft and solid food stage? 2. How much fat can we have? I feel like my fat percentage is too high because I only eat proteins and some are higher in fats. 3. How should I be tracking fats? 4. Should I be tracking the different types of fats? I see my nutritionist in a week and a half but I need to know if I should make small changes now. Thanks in advance.

TIPS- Check out Baritastic meal and weight tracking app instead of myfitnesspal. It’s made for us! Don’t buy too much broth. I have 8 boxes left.

PHOTO UPDATE! 28lbs down

WEIGHT- 15 days post-op HW-365 SW-347 CW-333

Here is some food I’ve eaten. Jimmy Deans Light turkey sausage, eggs and potatoes 1/2 serving or less about 2-3.5 ounces. 130 calories and 8g of protein. The turkey sausage and cheese is 20g of protein but it usually takes me two sittings to eat it.

1 lb a day on average. 500 calories or below. I’m 11 days post-op

Hey! So I stalled at 5 lbs for 3-4 days. Now I’m right with you, 10lbs down. So you are so on track.

11 DAYS POST-OP Wow, this has been a tough week. The pain, the slow weight loss. But finally the scale has moved. I’m down 10lbs from surgery and 29 lbs total. I’m 21lbs from my first goal of 315. HW-365 SW-345 CW-335.8

I am so surprised I haven’t been shopping. I love shopping (probably my replacement addiction) but I haven’t had anything to buy.

Provolone cheese chewed very well

So, my calories were about 300 the first several days. Probably a week under 400. Then I had a day where I realized I could eat something else and went over. I didn’t even count it. But I’m back on track since the scale finally moved despite my extra calories. I tried a bunch of things like hot tea and extra walking But my body just did not want to drop weight. It’s good to hear that you use your swifter. I will def be trying it now. I just have a large house so it can get tiring.

Hello everyone, I am 10 days post-op and man am I bored. I want to clean. It’s something I do a lot and I can’t really bend without pain and I don’t think my surgeon would want me using the swifter and hand vacuum. So, I’m pretty bored. Hate watching tv because it makes me “head hungry”. So yea, I have two more weeks before anything major. I go back to week in three weeks. Also my progress has been SLOW. For my weight I should have lost 10-30 lbs in the first ten days. I lost like 5-7. I lost 15lbs in the pre-op diet so I wasn’t expecting a stall so soon. I was stalled for like four days. So yea, that’s where I’m at if anyone has any advice or words of encouragement.
