and write down everything that goes in your mouth. Today is rough for me b/c I have a party at work today and have to serve sweets treats and snacks. Also people have brought me valentince candy gifts. I am still exhausted. Today is a gym day after work and appointments and errands. Then my son has basketball practice tonight. I have a long day ahead.

I have yet to read today but I will in about 15 mins...also going to take some time to skim over some of the past 13 days.

Just spent 1 hour at the gym, I feel fabulous, was down 1 more pound this morning so that makes 9... yahoo!

Feeling great no cravings, no real hunger, I seem to be just sailing though right now....just hoping that this will continue.

I’m not really liking this one. I am planning ato make 2-3 breakfast menus, 2-3 lunch menus and 2-3 supper menus and I will just keep switching them up every day so I don’t get frustrated. I also plan on keeping each meal in the same range of calories and protein so I am not over doing it on any particular day.

I plan on having some things prepared and in the freeze for those days when I just can’t be bothered.

 

I am interested in hearing what plans you have come up with to make this work…please share your ideas.

I usually do keep a journal of all the foods I eat but its after the fact, I have also used Fitday its free http://www.fitday.com/ but have not been there in a bit so I guess I’ll go back there…sometimes I find it very time consuming.

I am glad I am not the only one who didn't like this.    I can plan breakfast and lunch most days.  Generally, I try to plan dinner too.   However, I have three kids and my husband is in the military.  I have to be flexible at night because sometimes life just gets in the way.

I did something similar in coming up with plans.   I try not to eat out, and if I don't then generally my home plan works.   However, yesterday, I did go through nutritional guides for several restaraunts and made me a game plan.  I am gonig to transfer it to an index card and keep it in my purse, so i am prepared on those days.    Not exactly what the book is looking for, but definitely better than flying by the seat of my pants.

 That is a great plan. If I know we are going to a restaurant I always look at the menu on the net and have two good choices that way when I get there I know it will one or the other. You can go to wrong with chicken, fish, steak and extra vegs. it’s the bread that they bring to the table that kills me.

Nutritional guides on an index card is an excellent idea. Thank you for sharing this.

Hmm, the book didn’t say anything about eating out….or did I just miss it?

What diet/food plan are you planning on following?
I'm going to keep calories to 800-900 and Protein about 80 - 90. Protein and low carb. NO white carbs or what ever I find I'm loosing on.
My weight tends to be all over the place most times can lose 3 pounds in one week and put it back on the next...seem to be on a roll right now though so I am sticking with what is working for me for now.

Right now, my surgeon and his nutritionist still have me eating around 600 calories and 60-80 grams of protein.  Since I don’t have a real hunger, it is not hard to physically do this.   Sometimes, my head hunger makes it hard, but I try to turn that off.   My hair is falling out like crazy, and I am hoping he will allow me to up my calories a little, so I can up the protein.  

So far, the book hasn’t addressed eating out.   I am hoping that it will at some point, because everyone eats out.   Since they didn’t have anything yet, I had to devise my own plan so I would not lose my way.  

My weight is still going to down at a pretty steady pace.   I have lost 78 pounds so far, and 5.5 pounds away from Onderland.    I usually stop 2 pounds before the next milestone that I want…I am trying to think positive about this one,  and will away a stall….lol

I am writing everything surprisingly it has shown me where I may have the potential to scew up and sabatoge my self.  Gym is good congrats on  that, if you made it to the gym you burned off some of the extra calories if you ate off your plan and as fr as the game take some crystal lite and some veggies, so don't beat yourself up just keep going you did good !!!!!!!!

Melva, white carbs are bagels, breads, cakes, cereal, chocolate, cookies, crackers, fruits and fruit juices, ice cream, potato chips, and most snack type foods, pasta, potatoes, pretzels, rice, pie, and sugar-sweetened beverages. Any thing were the first few ingredients are white flour, salt, sugar, milk, rice and potatoes.

 The type of stuff we grab when we don’t plan a meal or snack . We grab a bad carb, we get a sugar high. Lots of energy for a short period of time then..... cra****s all over and our body "craves" more sugar. it’s a vicious cycle of sugar and fat storage. The sugar we eat is quickly digested, goes quickly into our blood (the "rush") and our body quickly compensates by pulling the extra sugar out of your blood. THEN... it's stored as fat!

Since all of us seem to have had the RNY...... are we all sticking to the post op diet that was suggested by your Dr or are you doing something different?
As for me, I am doing the WLS post op diet  this is my primary diet and because we were told to choose a second one I have chose the South Beach diet as a back up.
