Day 2 of my new eating plan. Eating with a pickle fork is a big change. Two bites protein, one bite veggie. I can have one fruit a day. The dietician said not be concerned with tracking for the first five days, but to concentrate on protein and low carb in order to decarb.

Glad you had a good visit with your dietitian
I agree with eating more vegetables but not with the fruit. It has a ton of sugar in it. Probably 1 serving a day would be OK. I've known people who have gained weight from using fruit in their Protein drinks every day.
Good Menu!

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
Happy Columbus Day! I'm off today and going with the family to an animal park. I've missed out in everything they've done this summer so I'm excited to go. When I'm with the kids its usually fast food I'll try to make the best choices I can.

I was nervous going in to the follow up appointment with my surgeon, but it was all worth it. They have improved their information so much since I was there 4 years ago. I was given a booklet they now present to patients that explains everything from the beginning to 5 weeks after surgery.
The dietician is great. She has a website devoted to bariatrics. She suggested eating with a pickle fork, take very small bites and chew, chew, chew. Take 2 bites of protein to 1 bite vegetable. Drink up to 15 minutes before a meal and wait 45 minutes after a meal to eat. No more than 6 grams of sugar in any food.
My daily protein requirement is 60 grams and should be gotten from food rather than shakes. When I started my journey, I was told I would need to have 2 supplements for the rest of my life. Shakes should be made with water or 30-40 calorie almond milk.
The doctor wasn't shocked at my regain which is 14 lbs. He was very encouraging that I can lose the 14 plus additional weight I want to lose.

Woohoo! Friday of a long weekend!! Doesn't get better than that! 
Nothing on the go today at work, will try and cut out early because we are going camping for the long weekend at Elora Gorge. Likely the last camping trip of the season which is good for the diet but also makes me sad.
Yesterday at the follow up of course the dietician told me to eat more carbs....veggies and fruit. She said your body needs a minimum of 130 grams to function....I think I've been doing pretty good at minimal carbs but we'll see. Its not that I don't like veg and fruit but by the time I eat my protein who has room?
I'm down 79.3 lbs since my first weigh in at the Centre a year ago now! Who would have thought that possible. When I think about it though I'm only down about 43 lbs since surgery, which yes seems like a lot, I know the speech, but I see others who have lost so much more in the same time.
Anyway enough whining or maybe reflecting is a better word! LOL Here's what I got for today!
B - 1 egg, 1 slice cheese, 1 slice 35 cal whole grain toast
S - 2 oz egg salad
L - 100 gr pulled turkey, 89 gr cucumber slices
S - 3 oz deli turkey, 1 jalepeno cheese stick
D - 1-1/2 chicken sausage (red pepper/mozz)
TOTALS: Cal 911 (really!!) Carbs 36, Protein 89
If I need a snack tonight it will likely be cheese.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
YEAH for you keeping your appointment!!! Go in with excitement for a clean start!!
