Hey yall! Are yall prepping? I know Yadie has kids. I do too. 6 and almost 8.

How are yall doing? I stalled for a while and I think it's cause my calorie intake was too low. I'm not being quite so strict on it now. Plus it helps that I found some AMAZING protien bars

I stalled also. I didn't know if it was from the constipation issue but I have gone past both now. I discovered if I added a little more fat to my diet I became "regular" again. I went out for the first time last Wednesday with some friends and it was harder than I thought it would be. I love my Irish whiskey and beer, and not being able to have any for a while kinda kills me.

I think this is what has helped me. My diet has more fat than ever before and I'm regular too

Met with my nutritionist today (7.5 weeks out) for anyone that is curious i thought id share. she said she's thrilled with my progress and that I'm right on track.

On my high cardio days (I'm burning 300-600 just from cardio) to get my calorie count up to 900-1000 and on days I don't (weekends) to get close to 700-800. Otherwise she thinks my weight loss is perfect for my height. She said to stay in this calorie range during the losing phase, and that it really won't change much until after I hit goal and get to maintenance. So I'm okay to get comfortable in the 700-1000 calorie range for now.

She also said that at almost 2 months and with my cardio I'm doing she would like to see me get in closer to 80-90g of protien. Right now I'm getting about 70g. And she LOVES the fact that I'm getting 90+% of my protien from chicken/yogurt/nuts etc. She also said she thinks I will be able to reach 160lbs easily. After that the weightloss will get harder.

P.s. I'm currently doing about 1 hour of cardio per day (broken up into 3 segments) about 1/2 of it I'm running at a 6.5mph pace and the rest I'm walking at a 3.0-3.5mph pace on a 6% incline.

This is everything I'll eat today except for dinner.

Just reminding everyone to drink their water!!! I thought I was doing perfectly fine, come to find out I was severely dehydrated :-/ on top of that for the 1st time in my life, I had a seizure. Thankfully I was already at the hospital when it happened so I was cared for by emergency staff swiftly. I hope to never go through something like that again

Oh my! I'm so glad you're OK. Have you had a seizure before? Was it solely from not drinking Water?

I hate the protien shakes. 1 cup of greek yogurt has 15g of protien. 4 oz of chicken has 25g of protien. Combat protien bars 20g of protien. Thats 60 grams right there

I'm sure it was scary. Hopefully you're getting more water in.

Soooooo, Friday I woke up and my belly was so distended I looked pregnant! Went to see my surgeon and was informed that my gallbladder didn't like all the protein I was eating. He recommended I incorporated leafy greens and more fat of all things. He told me to do a little cleanse for a day and I will be all good. All the bloating is gone.

Wow. So your being encouraged to eat veggies and less protien! Hopefully it doesn't get worse.

It didn't thank goodness! I mean I looked seven months pregnant. Lol he had me do a version of the preop colon cleanse and it helped a lot.

I'm 8 wks out I don't know how your getting all this stuff in I have to eat small meals. I'm just starting more solid food. How are you doing it? Suggestions?

Same here, I still get full so fast that I can't get everything in as much as I try. Sometimes I feel like if I keep going I'll stretch my sleeve all out.

I typically get 55-65 oz of water in, but today I've gotten in over 75oz and kept my food intake up! I feel like I've finally got the hang of this!
