Recommended Posts

Today's foods...

Breakfast...

1/2 cup Steel Cut Oats with a splash of Silk soy milk (about 1/4 cup) and some splenda.

2 hard cooked egg whites

lunch...

Small piece of chicken breast diced, maybe equal to 1/2 cup? Done with some homemade BBQ Sauce.< /p>

1/2 cup sesame garlic green Beans, splashed with some soy sauce

Supper...

1 Nutrisystem meal, rotini with tiny meatballs (dont usually eat this stuff but I was given a case of it so am trying to use it up where I can)

another 1/2 cup of the green Beans

I may have a greek yogurt later this evening or a high Protein Gelatin snack, depending on if I stay up very late into the night or not.

My Mom is currently in the hospital (she had a mild heart attack) and I have been worried about her so surprised I was able to stick to eating like I should.

So far today....

NO BREAKFAST....

I ended up sleeping in late so will have my 3rd meal later tonight and call it snack time, even though it will be a small meal of some sort, maybe a greek yogurt and some cucumbers or some chicken breast and a yogurt.

lunch...

Small can tuna in Water, drained, added in 1 tsp fat free mayo and a bit of pickle relish, heated in microwave to make a tuna melt and added a sprinkling of fat free cheddar on top to melt.

1 cup of black bean tortilla Soup - (another Nutrisystem meal, yep, am trying desperately to use these up so they are out of my house, lol). The taste on this one actually is pretty good. I have had it with a bit of mild salsa mixed in and some fat free sour cream on top and it isnt bad.

SUPPER...

To be determined but am most likely making some baked cod fish fillets in the oven and will eat one small filet, maybe a tiny portion of some wild rice and/or quinoa, and some type of veggie, probably oven roasted broccoli with sesame seeds/olive oil/garlic (I usually eat 1/2 to 1 cup of veggie depending on if I have anything else with the Protein or not).

Oh and will down a 26 gram Protein shot later today.

Ok, I know I'm going to get myself in trouble but it seems like most of you are basically on a very restricitive diet! If that works long term, great, but I think all my dieting is how I got fat.

I eat small portions of regular food! I will NEVER eat anything low fat or low calorie or fake sugar or anything like that!

I eat regular food, focus on Protein, but my band only lets me eat tiny meals....

yesterday I had two portions of lasagna, a serving of sauteed spinach , some sushi, cheeses and crackers, and some wine.

I probably eat bout six times a day...

I'm not on a restrictive diet..I eat whatever I want when I want to eat it...I just know that I shouldn't be able to wolf down a whole grilled chicken sandwich from McDonalds...or a 6 inch sub from subway. You said it yourself....little protions...and what I'm able to eat right now isn't little anything.

Today:

Three months out - lost 27 lbs

Breakfast 1 scrambled egg and EAS carb control Protein Shake

Lunch: FIsh, cooked carrots and peas, two small bites of mashed potatoes

Snack: nutrisystem chocolate Peanut Butter bar

Dinner: Salmon and a plum

Too many carbs, in my opinion. The nutrisystem bar put me over in carbs. Have to watch that in the future.

How did this sound for a breakfast/lunch? I am trying to follow a high protein/low carb diet. What is a low carb diet (how many) anyway? 1 can of crab = 2 servings = 2 carbs/14 Protein, 4 tbls low fat mayo = 8 carb/ 0 protein,1 tbls relish = 2 carbs/0 protein. SO THIS breakfast/lunch totaled 12 carbs / 14 protein.

Your thoughts, please?

      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!!
