Cravings am I over eating



Recommended Posts

Hey y'all I haven't posted in a while but I need y'all. I feel like I'm over eating. I've been eating 4 small meals a day but I stay active. I walk at least 3 miles a day and I exercise twice a day morning and before bed and my weight seems to be going up but now it goes back down. I'm sticking to my diet but my calorie intake may not be good. I need advice please help.

I'm in the same boat. Ive made some bad choices, but the restriction limits the damage. Need to get back to whole foods

I'm not making bad choices i feel like I should be drinking a Protein Shake for my fourth meal other than eating a low carb tuna wrap. I personally don't care for the Protein shake that's my dilemma. I'd rather have food than a shake or yogurt.

Check with your dietician for meal ideas & guidelines about portion sizes, calories, nutrient goals, number of meals a day, etc. Then measure, weigh & track your food every meal & then make the necessary changes. If you are eating too many calories, swap out your food choices to more nutrient dense foods & foods that are lower in fats, sugars & carbs. Look to whole & low or no processed foods. If your portions are too large, reduce the sizes. Make sure you’re hitting your Protein & fluid goals every day.

It will always be better to eat real food than have a Protein Shake once your through those initial stages post surgery. I didn’t have another shake after the liquid stage. I know some people do continue to have shakes but I’m a believer in learning & establishing new & life time eating habits & food choices that work in your lifestyle as soon as possible. Shakes aren’t really sustainable in the long term & can feel like you are restricting or limiting yourself. I believe people put on weight after being on a shake diet because they relied on the shakes & didn’t learn how to make better food choices or change their eating behaviours.

Fluctuations while you are losing are to be expected. Your weight loss isn’t a consistent straight line down. It will go & down & plateau. As long as the general trend is downwards you’re okay.

Are you tracking? It's the best tool and makes you accountable, allows you to see where you might need to make changes. Cravings are okay, you can often satisfy them in more healthy ways. I've been using Pinterest for inspiration. And remember that weight fluctuations are normal.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
