What Did You Eat Today???? Accountability Thread



Recommended Posts

Anyone out there need support and accoutnability daily as far as diet??? I know I sure do. This thread is for those of us who would like to check in daily, tell what we ate, share recipes, and provide support to one another on this journey!! We all have good and bad days. Having support from others helps me get back up and keep going. If you're game, just join in.

Make it a great day!!!

Thanks Renewed for getting this started!! I will start by posting what I had today, or yesterday rather! I'll for-warn you that I do not have accurate measurements. My sister had a bridal shower tonight and I saved up all day so I could enjoy the food, so I'll do the best I can in describing what I had.

B'fast- Low carb slim fast

lunch- Low carb slim fast

dinner- 2 pig in the blankets, 3 bite-size cheese cubes, a small spoonful of chicken salad, a small spoonful of pimento cheese, 5 ritz crackers, and a mini muffin.

Here's what I had

B-Nothing

L - 4 chicken bites from sonic

D - 1/2 cup meat with fried rice

S - white chocolate mocha

Not great, I know. I also went to the gyn today. Maybe that will help a little.

I am not going to count calories right now. That really stresses me out after awhile. It is much too dietlike. I am going to focus on eating good foods and eating the right portions. If that doesn't work then I will change something. I am still looking for what is going to work best for me.

You are so right, we can all use all the support we can get! It is nice to share ideas for menus and have accountability as well, but isn't there already this kind of thread in the food forum? Are you aiming for this to be more of a support each other type of thread versus the other thread that I think was sort of examples of what we bandsters eat?

Definately a support thread. I saw the other thread right after I started this one. I probably should have called it something else. Several of us were on Atkins diet together. Some of us are not doing atkins anymore, so we felt that we should start a new thread so those that wanted to do atkins could continue on that thread. However, we still want to provide support and accountability to one another, so I started a new thread to do that. Probably should have called it something different, but oh well, we can't have too much support.

Well, today wasn't too bad. Here's the menu:

B'fast- low carb slim fast

Lunch- 3/4 c. pumpkin chili

Snack- 1/4 c. dry roasted edamame

Dinner- 1/2 mushroom and swiss stuffed chicken breast & 1/4 c. green Beans

Snack- a brownie :thumbup:

Even though I'm not doing low carb anymore, I'm still going to drink the low carb slim fast for Breakfast. It still has more Protein than the high Protein slim fast and I think the calories are about the same.

I will admit it, I ate nothing but crap!!! :thumbup::cursing::angry:

I am losing, but not from restriction, it is only becuase I am being VERY disciplined!!! Down 34 pounds (banded 12/12).

Just for dinner: :tt1:

3 glasses of white zin

3 wings

1/2 buffalo burger with cheese (sans the bread)

1/2 order of bread pudding

Go ahead and chastise me...I deserve it. I will be better tomorrow. I promise!!! I am hoping that since I posted, I will be better to move on, rather than feel guilty.

Are you all at your optimal restriction? It seems like your eating so little....

Brandymom

I don't think I'm quite at my "sweet spot", but I think I'm very close. I now have 6cc's in my 10cc band. It's pretty strange, because some days I can eat all I want, and other days I can only eat a few bites. This band has a mind of it's own, lol!

Renewed, sonic has THE BEST drinks! I love their slushes! I like the strawberry cream slush, I would imagine that is pretty high in sugar and calories! I used to always get a cherry limeade too, but now I can't have carbonated drinks, so I haven't had one in over 5 months!:thumbup:

      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.

      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!!
