I Feel Like a Failure
I had my revision in August and protein is my answer. I have been going to support groups this time faithfully and the support is good on comparing notes on whats working and whats not. You might have to write your meals down and take them to your nutrtionist. I was eating sugar free bread and whole wheat bread and she told me no bread for a while it was an empty caorie. I also took out the good old carbs back out and my weight started moving again. Keep trying and good luck.
Hey ... Your not a failure !!! Get that thru your head first and foremost!!!
Just go back to basics ,, Protein and water.. Push .. Push >> PUSH !!!
Remember that your body starts breaking down simple carbs and absorbing the minute you put them in your mouth.. So stop eating them. Plus your body might be in shock / Plateau mode. Its holding on to it's resources right now.. Just keep feeding it the good stuff.
Go back and Journal .. use fitday to track .. find a Protein drink that works for you - I know taste is a big thing .. I just started using Muscle Milk - not too bad !! getting used to it ...
If you had a more malabsoptiver procedure - you wont have restriction - your intestine will be doing the work. But you have to be mindful of what you put in it your body ... I found that filling up on Salads is helping me ..
Question - shall we have a weightloss challenge ? Who can loose most weight by Easter ?
