I guess I will just keep on trying to be a good girl (ha ha) and stay on course but damn I would love me a ham samich (spelling intentional) with some doritos on the side right about now!!

I haven't eaten those yet but I was looking at them. I had my surgery on the 22nd so I am just a bit behind y'all anyway. I usually just eat 2 slices of light (sodium and fat) lunch meat and a slice of 2% cheese. I will eat some manderine oranges no sugar added, for a snack. Somewhere in there and in the morning I drink a protein drink that has 42 gms of protein. Breakfast us usually a hardboiled egg with mustard and light mayo or a sm yogurt s/f. Dinner is up for grabs. I try to get protein/meat in but sometimes it is tuna fish or a meatball or italian (turkey)sausage in sauce. I actually had to start adding carbs. I was getting so little that they said that to lose weight my body would start pulling protein from the muscles if I didn't up it a bit. I added the cheese. At least that has protein too. I think I am doing exactly what my papers say to do but it is 6 weeks today and I am minus only 27 lbs. Plus the 20 I lost before surgery but that only counts in my head. I see the nut on Wednesday so I will talk with her then. I have lots of questions.

Hey,

My comment would be keep doing wat ur doing.

The nutritional book that I was given bby the nut does list some "snack foods" that are acceptable, but it says to eat small quantities and only wen u have met ur daily nut requirements. Because it is empty calories. I try to avoid them but.........

I admit I have indulged in the decadent(sp) crunchy salty stuff. Not in large quantities, but as added carbs to balance out my my blood sugar. Keep getting these strange headaches if I am low on carbs. They go away as soon as I eat.

I think that getting back to eating those kinds of foods if one doesn't  have too will keep one's weight loss slowed. Just brings back bad habits.

Just my opinion. but as Sargeant Schultz said it the sit-com "Hogan's Heroes" I know nussing"



 

It is slow slow for me. I have lost 26 pounds since surgery on 12/22. I will see the nut tomorrow. I have a lot of questions. People say more water. More protein. Up your calories, you are in starvation mode... Doc says don't worry about calories or weight loss. Just follow the program for now. It is all making me nuts. I will only weight myself once a week now.

Thanks for site info.

I am so sick of ground beef, anything that consist of ground beef I am just sick of.
Eggs are horrible  now I don't know why. I use to love eggs, but now yuck. And I can't do leftovers. I don't understand it. I have only had one good meal since WLS and that was last week. Salmon with a salad that I made at home.  Now that was. But I don't want to have that everyday.
I can't wait to learn new ideas
