AMAW/CAMAW - Day 4

Hello fellow Warriors!

I weighed in at 135.6 pounds again today. All is smooth as far as AMAW goes, so I'm hoping I'll see a little loss this week. Yesterday was fine food-wise, though super hideously stressful (and today will be too).

Eating ham, tuna, and salmon today. I really like salmon - it's so high in protein and yet so low-cal and low carb.

Yesterday's calories: 582 - Carbs: 11 - Protein: 61

Carbs were a little higher with the type of ham I have in the fridge, but still overall in range.

Edited to add: I don't eat in the car, and rarely Have anything with me. I figure if it's really necessary and I just can't wait, i can always run into a store and pick up a little deli turkey, etc.

Have a wonderful and successful day, my friends!

Finally an on track day...and I back at my hotel with nothing in the room to get me off track so it will be two in a row!

I keep chomps and the like in my laptop bag and purse, but for driving I find I mostly stop and get coffee for a snack - decaf americano with half and half in the afternoon; leaded coffee with half and half in the morning!

Did your surgeon prohibit coffee when you first started out? Mine did - coffee was totally off the list for many months. Even when it could be reintroduced, he wanted it to be kept to no more than 8 ounces once or twice a week. I just got out of the habit instead! I still like it, but as an unusual treat rather than a constant.

Only for the first week, after that it was fine. The first week I was allowed nothing but 64 oz of full sugar Gatorade..and water after I got all the Gatorade in...which never happened.

Seems odd that the full sugar Gatorade would be required! Sugar free i could see, but full sugar seems unusual!

It was awful, I can't even look at Gatorade now! I do agree it's one of the oddest requirements I've heard of but since I didn't have any pre op liquid only and once that week was up, I was onto purées, i think I had it much easier than many so no complaints!!
