AMAW/CAMAW questions

Hi Emiepie,

Yes, I'm tracking on Lose It!

Today, I am eating only 900 calories. I will stay there until Thursday, then we will see what the "Mighty Scale" has to say, LOL! I might have to throw it out the window if it's not in my favor.

Awesome, keep at it!

Ditto to what everyone says and try to not focus so much on a number on the scale but how you feel, what you can do. As long as you know you are keeping the protein high, carbs low (no white stuff) and moving you should be fine. But if the weight gain continues don't hesitate to reach out to your surgeon and there can in some cases be a medical reason for weight gain

Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Dear Kathy S:

LOL! That scale! I've learned over the years not to take it too seriously. Early out, I clung to every ounce and pound the scale registered and it threw me in a tizzy.

Thank you I will remember this advice.

I almost lost my mind with the scale and honestly my husband hid it from me and it almost resulted in Divorce I was so obsessed with it

Too funny, because my husband threatened to hide mine too ! I told him do not touch it!

Scrambled eggs will probably slide right through your pouch, they're not good at sticking around and keeping you full. Same to shrimp, as the meat is fairly soft; I see the same thing happen with shrimp and soft fish.

When you measured the ribs, did you weigh just the meat, or does 4 - 5oz include the bones? Make sure you're only counting what you eat!

Hi Sparklekitty,

I weighed the bone. No wonder I felt hungry afterwards.

Thank you for the reminder.

I'm going to try some turkey burgers, they always filled me up right away.

Great choice! I like to mix feta with my turkey burgers :)

Sounds yummy!
