I'm phasing in Decaf Teresa! I'm such a coffee drinker that all that coffee has no discernable effect on me whatsoever. I could eat instant coffee out of the jar with a spoon!

I had cut down to all decaf with only one or two real coffees in a day when I was pregnant, I dont know why I went back to so much caffeine.

C first place to start is do your grocery shopping and prepare your food at home. Dont buy out and on the run, be prepared.

Breakfast is an easy peasy meal to start off the day well. Most people can eat breakfast at home. Wholegrain cereals, fruit and yogurt, a fruit smoothie, if you're doing lo carb, eggs, egg white omelettes, include some mushrooms and tomatoes, go easy on cheese, salt etc.

For Snacks, fruit, dried fruit and nuts, a low fat frozen yogurt, avoid pastries, cakes and the like.

Frozen dinners and the like are junk foods. they're full of preservatives, chemicals, artificial everything. Your body doesnt need them. What about yogurt and fruit, sandwiches (if you can eat bread) or wraps with lean ham and salad fillers, fruit salad, tossed salads with tuna or salmon, a bit of olive oil and vinegar dressing, if you're locarbing, fresh home made stirfries, or a piece of grilled chicken and salad. If you're out and about and cant make your own lunch, take fruit and a Protein shake or something like that.

Your dinner would be fine as long as you didnt eat all the fat on the pork chops.

Ok, so I dont always follow my own advice, but overall I do eat that way and I've still become overweight becuase I just eat too darn much. But I'm healthy and have no cholesterol and blood pressure issues.

Hope that's the help you were looking for and it doesnt sound preachy.

Jacquie you are on the ball. Sometimes we forget that breakfast is not just eggs anymore. I actually bring my cereal to work (most of the time now). I try not to make fruit my first choice now because the sugar just keeps me eating the rest of the day.

C is see you have lost 60 pounds....WOW....keep up the great work. You are well on your way to goal. Good Luck

Today I did not make a great choice.

Friday

Breakfast

Sausage mcmuffin no egg and left off 1/2 the muffin

I will post yesterdays food in a moment.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
