I just hit goal and now I am focusing on maintaining. I have stayed away from frozen meals and fast food, etc.

But now I need to be sure of Portion Control.< /span>

Anyone use the frozen meals in their diet. SmartOnes, Weight Watchers, Healthy Choice?

I had one tonight but I could not get it all down. that's not a complaint...I just want to make sure I get all my nutrition in. It was a Smart One Lasagna.

Congratulations!!! What a great accomplishment!

I love grandma's chicken and cheesy rice by Stouffers. It comes in a big size, and is about 4 meals. About 18-19 g Protein for 1 cup.

Sometimes if I don't have time to make lunch for work, I have a Lean Cuisine stash in the freezer. The herb chicken one is only 180 calories, 3 g of fat and 18 g of protein!!!!

I have them in the freezer for quick & easy lunches, but many times it is a chore to eat them since many consist of some sort of Pasta. It can take me 45 minutes and try and eat about 3/4 of one, so I don't bother much.

I try to limit too much "processed" food from my diet, but sometimes you just don't feel like preparing anything! Any they are handy! You may want to eat a smaller portion and load up on a small serving of cottage cheese or pudding fortified with an unflavored Protein to increase your Protein intake. Just a thought!

I dont eat them often because they are all high in carbohydates. But I have to admit that I love the Eating Right brand Butternut Squash Ravioli. Yum!

Sodium is another thing that has to be taken into account. It causes fat cells to hold Water and sugars as well as raising your blood pressure.

I think the Smart Ones and Healthy Choice dinners average about 600mgs each.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
