Where the heck are our regular posters (Buffy, Crystal, Pam?)! Hope you all are ok, come see us soon! Breakfast: Special K protein plus w/soy milk Snack: EAS protein drink Lunch: Turkey cheese stick wrapped in a low carb tortilla w/a dab of fat free catalina dressing. Snack: 16 Genisoy crisps with about a tablespoon of hummus as a dip Dinner: 1 piece of meat crust pizza. I did a little editing and got the calories down to 186 per slice and only 8 grams of fat. Changed to 96% lean ground beef, used a cup of fiber one cereal instead of crackers and exchanged canadian bacon for pepperoni. Very nummy! 1008 calories 106 carbs (thanks starbucks latte) 25 fat 103 protein How did you do?

I AM HERE!!!! WOO HOO...LOL.....WHERE IS PAM????? OK i had 2 protein drinks today chicken soup and some roast beef

Breakfast: Protein drink, then yogurt later Snack: Slice of colby/jack cheese Lunch: Amy's Lentil soup Snack: Handful of Wasabi peanuts Dinner: (experimental here) Spaghetti and meatballs. Ate 1.5 meatballs and the 2-3 tablespoons of noodles w/sauce. No idea how many calories, carbs or fat -- do you guys use a program to calculate, or are you reading lables that closely???

I use Sparkpeople.com to keep track of my food. Pre-op, I found that if I kept a daily total of the calories, fat, etc I could easily stay within my guidelines, but if I didn't journal my food, I tended to eat way more than I should. That is still true post-op. There was one day I didn't log in all my food until the end of the day. When I totalled everything up, I had eaten over 1200 calories for the day! I was like "how the heck did I fit that much!" but it certainly all fit. If you're eating tiny amounts, you might even discover you're not eating enough, which keeps your body in self preservation mode and you stall out on the weight loss. Plus, I'm just anal that way and I like to know how much of everything I'm getting since I've adopted a healthy lifestyle Donna
