Topic: RE: What are you EATING?????:
My surgeon has me on a balanced diet of sorts. I eat my protein first, then fruits and veggies and some whole grains. I tend to eat chicken or lean beef at dinner with broccoli or cabbage and then have some brown rice. Usually it amounts to about 2.5 oz of protein when it is a meat and then 1/3 c. veggie and 1/3 c. rice. I can eat pretty much anything at this point, but I am still doing shakes at least once a day. I try to mix it up as food can get very boring when I can only eat a tiny bit at a time. Good luck.
Topic: RE: plateau already??? 4 months out
WOW!! I am glad to know I am not alone in this plateau thing.
I had my surgery on June 8th and this is my second and longest plateau. I began swimming for 2 hours daily 3 weeks ago and my weight loss come to a complete stop. The tape measure hasn't moved nor has the scales. When I wasn't working out the weight was falling off. My workout is vigorous and fun and I thought it would help me lose the weight even faster, but I seem to have been sadly mistaken.
I drink lots of water and get 60g of protein per day. I eat like my Doctor told me to and hardly ever fudge on my eating. If I find myself wanting to "graze" I find something to occupy me so I won't think about eating. I won't stop, but it is frustrating that nothing is happening and I can't seem to get the weight to start falling away again.
