Good evening my dear, you did well for being a holiday!
B: Protein shake and coffee
S: Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of splenda
L: Made pizza with pesto and some flat bread I found at Whole Foods. Was 30 cal. and 8 carbs. Total meal was about 200 Cal.
S: A few peanuts
D: Another of the above pizzas
S: Protein Coffee (Decaf) *sipping as I type*
I got some Atkins bars for next week to try. Looking to up my calories to begin to maintain again. Think this will be a healthier method then the garbage I started to eat last time. We will see how it goes. I may have to actually eat solid food for lunch now instead of the shakes I have been doing. Such a huge change from pre-op not actually wanting to eat more and being happy where I am. Discussed it with the wifey tonight actually and it sounded odd even just saying it out loud. I dont *want* to change my diet. Anyway, it will work out I am sure. I need to find a way to eat more calories without boosting the volume. When I attempted maintenance at 190 I just felt unpleasantly stuffed all the time. I don't though want to eat unhealthy amounts of fat either. Time to start the research again I suppose. I will look closer at what you all do as well. I don't know how you guys do it. I know I can eat more then almost any regular VSG with my plication. I can comfortably eat over 1.5 cups if I so chose to and I still was uncomfortable. If I was stuck at eating 3/4 to 1 cup I would be sick all the time. Like anything though I am sure you adjust. Rambling now..The end.
