Hi Ladies!

Ok, I need to be accountable. So I am going to start posting my daily food, Water intake, etc. I hope you guys join in. I would like to see what everyone else is eating. Good, bad or indifferent. I don't think that matters, really. I think the important thing is accountability and sharing. :tt1:

So here is mine for today, Wednesday.

B: 4oz peach carbmaster yogurt with 3 slices of banana

L: half meatball in sauce with 4 pieces of rotini Pasta

S: 1 pita chip with hummus, one mouthful chicken salad

D: sliver of cheese quesadilla, about a quarter cup refried Beans

Water: :blushing:

Exercise: :ohmy:

Vitamins: multi, B, Calcium, C

Have you tried one of the sites for tracking your meals? I use thedailyplate.com. It was clunky to me at first -- well, sometimes it's still a bit clunky -- but it also lists all the nutritional info. I find I lose better when I have more Protein and this helps me keep track of it. I haven't had a fill yet and don't have much restriction, so I suppose it will be more difficult for me when I can't eat as much volume as I am now.

Good luck!

Hi Julia! I was actually looking more to see what other people were eating too. More for the comarderie but it doesn't appear that anyone wants to participate with me. No biggie! :biggrin:

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I don't remember what I ate yesterday. I think I am going senile. :sneaky:

But today I had:

B: powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chocolate shake with milk and 1 T. pb

L: starbucks tall iced caramel macchiato

S: 3 club crackers with 3 T. chicken salad

D: half a trader joe's personal size quiche mexicaine (without any of the pastry)

Not a terribly great day for food intake. Where are the veggies? And I don't normally have a coffee drink for lunch but I met some friends at starbucks so... there it is.

Water: not good but better than yesterday

Exercise: what is that? I really need to find out!

Saturday- cleaning and laundry day.

B: two bites of chicken salad

L: 3 club crackers with 3 T. chicken salad

S: one-twelfth of a hershey bar (seriously a sliver while I made smores for the kids)

D: homemade fish taco - had a few bites with the tortilla and then pulled the fish out. This was soooooooooo delish! Never made them before and they came out great! My 8 year old boys LOVED them.

Water: so-so

Exercise: CLEANING!

Okay...I'd raher post on one of my "good" days but this is a true and I'm sorry to say accurate Saturday for me with no restriction.

Lunch: 3/4 Zaxby chicken salad with lowfat ranch

Dinner: 1 chicken Chimichanga, 1/4 refried Beans, 15 chips, salsa, sour cream

Not the best, I know but FAR better than prior to the band and actually the worst eating day our of the week. Still need to work on my Water intake and increasing Protein and lowering carbs.

S: ate lunch really early so I got home and was hungry so I had a few bites of a meatball

D: half of a meatball with sauce and sauteed zucchini with salt, pepper and fresh parmesan cheese (YUM!)

Water: better today!

Exercise: gonna get on the wii fit, I think.

Happy Labor Day everyone!

I had to work today so that should have kept me from eating. It didn't because I had to put out a luncheon for my co-workers. We served sub sandwiches, chips, dips, brownies, Cookies etc for 100 people.

B: cherry carbmaster yogurt with a quarter of sliced banana

L: half cup turkey chili with Beans with cheese and sour cream

Nibbled on: about 15 potato chips (spread throughout day) and half a choc chip cookie :)

D: the innards of 3 pork potstickers (from Trader Joe's) and a couple bites of the outtards, 2 slivers mandarin orange

Part of me feels like I shouldn't have had the chips and half cookie but I really enjoyed it. And, after I got home TOM arrived. So that explains the lack of will power a bit. I refuse to feel guilt and will just move on.

Water: :thumbup: (was too busy eating chips)

Exercise: marching my ass up and down the stairs checking on the food levels all damn day!!!!

I am going to start posting my food logs on here maybe tomorrow or maybe monday. Maybe I should jut steal your logs cause they are better than mine. LOL I had my first fill Sept 9th and still have little restriction, doc said I could come back in 2 weeks for another fill and I plan to. I do keep up with my exercise. Power Walk at least 2 miles a day and 15-20 min a day on my elliptical. I know I def could get more Water in. My weight loss has been pretty good I think. And I am happy with it. Right now is my TOM so I will weigh myself when I am done and hopefully will have lost...LOL Well hopefully I remember to post tomorrow... See ya then, Jennifer

Jennifer- can't wait to read your food logs!

Had some pain last night around my port site (in that general area) Not sure if I overdid it yesterday with the cleaning or mowing etc or if the half a ravioli I ate last night didn't like me. :)

Onto today:

B: chocolate unjury shake with 1 T. Peanut Butter

L: quarter cup chicken salad, half a carbmaster yogurt and 4 potato chips

D: about half a cup of refried Beans with cheese, salsa and sour cream and about half a slice of very crispy cheese crisp

water: terrible! going to try to drink a lot tonight

Have an appointment tomorrow for a fill. I don't think I am going to get one though. I don't think I need one yet but we will see what Melissa thinks. I will definately be asking about that pain yesterday.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
