Still confused THIS IS WHAT I ATE TODAY!

permalink

Hi, well I am still a bit confused, scale stable with 50/lb loss in 9 months. My Family Dr. is pleased now off all BP Meds etc. went to my Surgen and found out I was overfilled for the last 6 months so they took a bit out and I feel better. Working out 3 to 5 times a week with trainer and nutrionist. the Nutrionist keeps increasing my cals and says not to worry about the scale. Actually the Surgen said not to worry about the scale too! But I am so into the scale. well this is what I ate today. It still seems like a lot more than others, I have been overweight and YO YO Dieted my whole life.

Breakfast: Protien shake, with Skim milk, banana

snack. 5 appricots, with almonds and cheese. also coffee

lunch. 6 Onz chicken cutlets.

Snack: Protien powder, Milk, 2tbs peanutbutter

dinner : 5 onz bison, 2 laughing cow cheese, Mixed Veg.

Total 1500 cal, 138g protien, 55 fat, 129 Carbs.

I am also suppose to start using the food extchanges. The plan from my Nutrionist is actually 1900 cal.

Breakfast 2 Protien, 1Milk. 2 fruit

Snack: 1 Fruit, 1 Milk, 1 Fat,

Lunch: 5 Protien, 2 fat, 2 starch

snack: 2 protien, 1 milk, 2 fat

Dinner: 5 Protien, 1 Milk, 3veg, 3fat,

Total: 13 Protien, 4 Milk, 3 fruit, 6 fat, 2 starch,

Any thoughts? Really want the scale to start moving again. I started at 300, than 270, than 260 in Oct, down to 250 in Dec. still about 250.

Hey, Im not a dietician so I cant really give advice, and since your doing alot of exercise your calorie intake seems to be correct to me.

But Maybe, cut down 200 calories....

Also are you drinking 2ltrs + of Water?

I never count the Water I drink during exercise to my 2ltrs.

Also maybe check the sodium levels...

Sorry i couldnt help more but it seems as if you have your diet under control but your body is just stablising for a bit before it looses more weight. Keep going... you will get there =)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
