A year out.... so what are you eating ?



Recommended Posts

So I am 11 months and am in a six month stall - not as dramatic as it sounds because I'm not eating what I should ( but not gaining, so yay for me ) . I am really busy at work and don't really have a lot of time, but need to add some variety

Any ideas of simple foods to eat? What are your examples of lunch or dinner ?

Hi outsidematchinside! I have enjoyed reading your comments for some time. Are you still tracking food or do you feel it is pretty easy for you now?

I know you have said you don't have a strong relationship with carbs - I'm not so lucky. I had read someone indicate they have kept their carbs to under 20. - I am thinking to try that - I haven't ever had a target like that - so I'm going to try it

I track every day. I track mainly to make sure I eat enough, not that I eat too little.

Never thought about tracking to make sure I am eating enough. What do you use? MFP?

I use http://www.loseit.com/

I hate MFP with the heat of 1000 suns. They allow so much user added content and people suck at math so bad, almost all the information in there inaccurate.Plus they charge a fortune for premium and their UX designers suck.

LoseIt has items that have green check marks next to them, those are verified. You can also easily add your own information, and make recipes etc.

I use premium and I like all the goal tracking and the badges. I'm still trying to get that 200 pound loss badge.

Their forums have a lot of useful information too.

When I am home I track on the PC, when I am out I track on my phone

It is way to easy to have a busy day, forget to eat and be too low on Protein.

Try it out for a week and see if you like it. If you want premium it is $39.99 but if you hunt around the internet you can usually find it for 29.99

I actually eat a lot of stuff or it seems like it to me. I create my variety in cuts of meats and spices. I didn't eat pork for over 20 years and I started eating it last year for variety. I eat lamb, buffalo, all the fish.

I heard trying a Keto diet. It helps break a stall. God bless.

      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

      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!
