SMMC chicas accountability log



Recommended Posts

OKAY GIRLS!!!

Let's do this thing! Let's just take it one day at a time and see how it goes. You must COMMIT to coming on here daily and logging EVERY SINGLE BITE you put in your mouth, as well as the Water you are drinking (water....what's that??), as well as the activity you had for the day. I'll start....this is going to be reallllllly hard for me:think , but here goes.....HONESTY, remember HONESTY.....aka accountability amongst friends;)

BREAKFAST: 1 egg, 2 pieces Canadian Bacon

LUNCH: 1/4 cup mashed potatoes, 1/4 cup fajita vegetables, 1/4 cup flank steak

(came home and crashed)

SNACK: vanilla ice cream cone from McDonalds

about 15 pringles when I got home and raided the cabinets

about 1/4 cup whole cashews

DINNER:

1/2 cup chili topped with melted cheese and dollup of sour cream

lots of tortilla chips! (I would estimate 2 "normal" servings, maybe 20 chips)

WATER: NONE.....MAYBE 2, 8 oz servings of tea

EXERCISE: Probably on my feet for a total of 2 hours out of the 10.

There...I did it, and now I feel incredibly motivated to be better tomorrow so I don't feel like such a big toe.

THINGS I DID WELL: I actually ate Breakfast which I usually dont.....did okay for 50% of the day.

WAYS TO IMPROVE TOMORROW: Don't crash at the end of the day!! No snacking....drink more fluids throughout the day....exercise.

Wake up, chew through leather straps....

Start day with Crystal Light fruit Punch

8:30 am Breakfast...yummy delicious Slim Fast Meal On the Go bar...Milk chocolate Peanut Butter.

Wait one hour...begin flooding system with Crystal Light (fruit punch # 2 and Iced tea). So far 3 1/2 liter bottles.< /p>

Stare at clock and think about delicious Peanut Butter sandwich waiting for lunch time....trying to wait until at least 1pm...or i'm hungry...since I only want the peanut butter cos I love peanut butter.

12:45 pm ate peanut butter on pita for lunch...mmm Peanut butter

Waiting until 1:30 or so to resume building "Lake Crystal Light".

6:00 pm so far im on 1/2 liter bottles of crystal light #7, I can officially tell you that the plumbing in my office works perfectly, i'm checking it every hour or so....LOL. Almost time to head home for dinner...chicken wings tonight...salad with olives tomatoes and cucumber...and my favorite zero calorie dressing. If I don't update tonight I will come back and add it in tomorrow.

7:30 pm was starving at dinner, had a huge salad with tomatoes, olives and cucumber and this great zero calorie Salad Dressing, then I had like 12 chicken wings. I checked in with fitday...I'm at 1400 calories for the day. (I included the bomb pop I had for dessert at like 10:00pm.

Total calories for the day = 1426, and total Water for the day = 5 liters or 165oz.

I missed this. Ok yesterday was umm... thinking...

- Didn't eat breakfast, I'm usually too tight.

- lunch was a Starkist lunch 2 Go, so 3 oz tuna, 6 Ritz crackers, and mayo in the tuna, and I think I had some pepperoni chips. Water was about 100 oz.

- dinner was leftovers, half of a Chipotle bol w/ chicken, black Beans and cheese, and I added lowfat sour cream at home.

- After dinner was a Protein drink made with 2 scoops Protein (40g), about 12 oz orange juice, and a packet of Splenda.

Today I'm just now eating my first meal, lunch, which is full fat cottage cheese, about 4 tbl, and about 25 pepperoni chips. Not sure what dinner will be... and I know I'll have a Protein Drink for "dessert".

Okay girls....Don't make me do this on my own:phanvan . How did everyone do? Here goes for me....I thought I did much worse than I did, but after I actually logged what I ate on FitDay...it actually only came to 1032 calories, which is actually pretty good I think. Here goes:

Breakfast: 80 calorie ff yogurt, coffee with equal and Creamer

Lunch: Immitation crab sticks (60 cal), 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup salad with a serving of ff ranch

Snack #1: 4 med Peanut Butter Cookies (over the course of about 3 hours):wacko: Darn things were calling my name from the breakroom table........

Snack #2: 1 pretzel stick, 1 strawberry, 1 small cream puff, 1 cookie stick all dipped in chocolate fondue:o

Snack #3: 3 small cubes of cheese

Dinner: 1-2 oz of a broiled hamburger patty, (maybe) 1/4 cup (if that) of baked chopped up potatoes, corn, onion mixture, all topped with 1 Tablespoon BBQ Sauce

Exercise: Worked a 12 hour shift, very busy...probably walking and on my feet about 3 hours of that total. (I need to figure out how to work that free pedometer they sent us after the surgery to figure out how many steps I take in a day at work).

Water: Surprisingly...this has been an eye opener for me today.....I drank more Water than ever, but I'm still only at 4, 8 oz servings....so that would be 32 oz? Need to work on that some more before I go to bed.

Totals for day: 1032 calories, 44 gms Protein Not Bad all in all......How about the rest of you all? Don't leave me hangin';)

Today I'm just now eating my first meal, lunch, which is full fat cottage cheese, about 4 tbl, and about 25 pepperoni chips. Not sure what dinner will be... and I know I'll have a Protein drink for "dessert".

That's where I was yesterday, and here's how I ended:

Protein Drink.

Never got hungry lastnight, but did the Protein b/c I knew I had to. See what I mean? Just absolutely no appetite. I haven't chewed food since noon yesterday, and I'm still not having the slightest sign of hunger. This is how it has been for me since day 2 of the pre-op liquid diet, so for almost 6 months now. I very, very rarely feel hunger, and certainly eat when I do... I just don't have an appetite any more.

:)

About 3 mos into this I called the dietician and asked her if I needed to worry about anything. People are starting to get concerned because I eat such small amounts when I do eat, and on top of that I'm just not really eating that frequently. She said that as long as I got my protein in, I had nothing to worry about. *shrug*

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
