What did YOU eat today?



Recommended Posts

I've been avoiding this thread like the plague. I'm losing weight slowly but I really don't know why. Maybe it's that I don't have much time to eat and I'm doing a lot of work with moving my husband and getting his wheelchair in and out of the car and set up. Anyway, thought if I posted what I ate yesterday it might shame me into getting back on track. It's just so very hard when I've been so busy to take the time to cook. It's so easy to reach for take out or fast food.

Yesterday

b - coffee with coffee-mate Creamer

half a blueberry sour cream muffin

l - half a plate from Afgan restaurant's buffet

pomegranate juice

d- 3 BBQ ribs, blueberry brown sugar pancake with orange sour cream

s - cup cheese puffs, 1 oz dark chocolate

Yesterday:

B-oatmeal with brown sugar and ff half-n-half.

L-Black Bean and salsa chicken with rice, cheddar cheese, Tomato and avocado.

D-Homemade vegetable Soup with 1 slice homemade w.w. bread.< /p>

This doesn't include my afternoon snacking that I know I need to cut back on. I must do better on that. I think that's why my weight is stalled because I'm grazing all afternoon.

Today so far:

B-2% cottage cheese

To finish off my day:

Lunch: Same as yesterday's dinner, Soup with w.w. bread.

Dinner: Homemade chicken Pot Pie with w.w. biscuit on top.

Snacks: not too bad today. I had a couple small handfuls of cinnamon almonds (the sugary kind) and about 1.5 oz of dark chocolate, oh and some little conversation hearts. Unfortunately this is an improvement.

Yesterday

B: 1/4c cottage cheese

L: 1/4c chicken salad; apple (well, most of it)

D: most of a small chicken breast with pineapple salsa

S: 1/4c soy nuts; ff pudding

Started (or rather re-started) measuring things EXACTLY. It is amazing how over time the measures start to become 'rounded' then 'heaping'....

Honest, this last fill really seems to be doing the trick...I'm not PBing, I can eat things, but I just don't have the same hunger.

That sounds really great... I love black bean. I tend to more use it for my asian dishes though.

Me? Well same old same. liquids during the day and a good dinner. Last night I had a tuna fish sandwhich on wheat with FF cheese and a little Soup. Ooops yeah I had some chips and popcorn too. Grrr... Not a perfect day but heck, I'm not perfect.

Yesterday...not a great day in that I didn't eat at regular intervals, but i don't think I went over in the calories. Weekends are just difficult for me.....

Woke up and forgot to eat until about noon...had some cheese and a few tbsp of Peanut Butter. Licked the spatula from my baking (oops:blushing:) a few times, but then ate a proper bandster dinner - few ounces chicken, 1/4c carrot coins, few tablespoons of rice.

Didn't feel hungry -- must have been the lickin's...

OMG I was so bad this weekend. Shame on me! I need a fill, and I'll get one on the 20th of this month. It's so embarrassing how much I can eat even. Well, truth is I can only eat half what I used to. I really don't like being super tight either, so just a little pop will be nice.

Best wishes to all!

So today I'm doing all liquids until dinner, in which case I'll have one BBQ rib, one scoop of Mac & cheese and a healthy serving of veggies for dinner. Yum!

      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!!
