Terrific Tuesday WLS Express
Its just shy of 5am and I too have been up for almost an hour. I think I was in bed and sound asleep between 8:30 and 9 last night. I was so tired I could hardly see straight.
Things are going well. I need to get better about my protein but I'm 3 weeks out yesterday and just now starting soft but 'real' food. Up until this point everything I was eating was sweet and I just couldn't get the shakes down. But now that I can have a little chicken and tuna, the sweet shakes int he morning aren't as bad as they were.
I'm stressing about my calorie intake. I think I need to back it down closer to 600 for the day. I've been up around 900 but I'm afraid its too much. My surgeon told me to keep calories 'down' but never gave me a count to adhere too. I just don't want to sabatoge myself.
I hope everyone has a great day. Mine will be great as long as it goes quickly!

donot stress over calories at this point - work on getting your shakes and good quiality protien in and the water you need - make sure your shakes are low carb/zero carb and your protien non fried and you should be good.
differnent docs have diff rules but I was told by my nut to aim for 60-80 grams protien (she upped it to 100 when I got really active) and at least one oz of water per gram of protien (keeps the kidneys happy)
now that does not mean at 3 weeks I wa****ting that but by I would say 6 weeks I was with shakes and carrying water with me 24/7
peace

Log your food for a couple of days and post on the "nuthing but nutrition" thread and we'll take a look at it for you and tweak it if need be.

People are so worried about what they eat between Christmas and the New Year, but they really should be worried about what they eat between the New Year and Christmas. ~Author Unknown
Yesteday I went to the VA to get my hearing tested. I don't know what they found, but I'm sure I'll get a letter in the mail denying my benefits. And because I have no service connected disability... yet... I waited around for travel benefits for an hour and a half, only to be told that I don't get them. But I spoke to a couple of people about the sexual harassment and they gave me the name of a good doctor to speak to and some good advise so...
Well, better get to the shower and back to work! Ya'll have a great day! Love ya!
