Topic: RE: A new journey! Starting out drastically with liquid diet

Naturally the less eaten, stomach will adapt and yes shrink....you will see a flatter profile if you keep with it. I did a similar thing before but did not stay with it.....wish I had....was doing well......just be sure to get the protein, fluid intake plus vits...(Vit D, C, Bs, Zinc very important)

Topic: Protein

I'm doing the 'back on track'. I'll be 9 yrs out in August. I let my eating get out of control. So... question is has anyone tried syntax matrix whey protein (peanut butter cookie)

what about the protein from GNC? I've been doing Muscle milk and total lean lean shake.

im kinda starting all over and I'm sure in the past 9 yrs there had to be some awesome protein powders.

Topic: RE: Veterans: At what point do we quit worrying about vitamin supplements?

What I've been doing is taking a multi-vitamin, go about my day and when I log all my food, at the end of the day I see what vitamins (if any) that I fall short of 100% RDA, and take the supplement if needed, I particularly watch Calcium and Vit. D.

In the upper right-hand corner, click the little cog wheel, select Health Tracker, then the Nutrition tab, and there you'll find the food log, etc. I think that might be what you're looking for. Most of the people here use tracking apps on their phone, the most popular one being MyFitnessPal (MFP). They have a website also.

Topic: RE: Meal planning help
Hi Dwayne.
I meal prep on Sundays but only make enough for 2 or 3 days. I'm very IFFY about having cooked food out there going bad.
Yes, there are too many chooses but you must stick to them. Look forward and to the outcome.

I'm mostly into Ground turkey with veggies, or chicken breast with marinara sauce all over the top.
I really try to make my LUNCH time the biggest meal of the day. Dinner I really, really try to stay away. I focus on the Gym and something very lite.

Topic: Logging food

It's been a long time since I've been on this site but it seems to me there used to be a link to a place where you could log all your food and it showed the amount of protein you eat the calories blah blah blah I can't seem to find it. It also had pre-programmed in food that all you had to do is click and search for it any help?

Topic: RE: HELP! Can't stop eatting!

I find that if I limit my carbs to 30 grams or less a day, I have better results. I do this by following the Ketogenic diet guidelines. You can also follow Atkins guidelines. When I start to allow more carbs, I find that I'm hungry all the time and will eat more. Plus, I log all my food on the My Fitness Pal app to help keep me accountable. I eliminate as much sugar as I possibly can and try not to eat any wheat products or starchy vegetables. I carefully read labels and do my best to watch what I eat. I'm much more diligent now than I was before my surgery. If I get too much sugar, wheat products, or starchy veggies, I find that I get really hungry and I don't feel well--like when you get a sugar rush. Also, when I eat too many carbs, I don't always make the healthiest choices in my food intake, which, in turn, makes me feel sick. If this happened before my surgery, I don't remember it.

Topic: RE: Veterans: At what point do we quit worrying about vitamin supplements?

I'm only 9 months out, but I was on a vitamin regimen before surgery. I had severely low Vit. D. and low B12, so have taken those supplements, plus a multi and calcium for years before surgery. Also, took a probiotic and glucosamine pre-surgery as well.

My post-op routine wasn't much different. At the beginning I took the multi twice a day, but after my 3 month appointment, I was told to stop because some of my levels were getting too high.

I figure I would have been stuck with this anyone even without surgery due to my own body's chemistry, so I just buy the big bottles at Costco and fill my little daily pill thingy every Saturday!

Keep on losing!
