Good Morning everyone!

I missed you all yesterday. I finally had my meeting with the nut. She said my food choices are great. She wants to try to 'shock' the system and said just maybe my body is comfortable here. Ugh. I dont like that but it does make a lot of sense. Im pretty much 'maintaining' at my smallest adult size/weight Ive ever been before. She also said my rny wasnt as shocking to my system as it is for most people since I was a revision. I'll list everything she said, since some seemed interested:

1. Cut back on the bananas. One average size banana counts as two servings of fruit. She also said that bananas arent the greatest choice as far as fruit goes.
2. She said she rarely tells anyone this who is over a year out, but cut the calories back to 1200-1300 while keeping my protein at a minimum 90grams while Im working out so much.
3. Cut my meals to 4 instead of 5 and queezing in that dessert.
4. Make one meal carb free
5. Remove food from my desk. I eat lunch at my desk and she mentioned to try to disassociate eating with being at my desk.
6. No more than 3 fats, 2 fruits and 2 starch daily

She also reminded me to stop my Centrum Silver 'pills' and make sure I switch to chewables. Im pretty sure we talked about that before, but I forgot.

I'll be getting my blood work done on Friday, so hopefully I'll have those results late next week.

So, my eats for today:

Coffee w/ cream
Quest bar and orange
Chef style salad
Greek yogurt w/ PB2 and Kashi
Grilled Chicken breast and asparagus

just wondering if there was a "reason" you ate an orange with the Quest bar...was it to have enough volume...or is there some "chemical" occurrence that happens? I am just learning...honest.. oh and what chewable vitamin should u be taking

No, no reason. Just keeps me fuller longer. I did only eat about 3/4 of both of them though.

I understand...I could eat both no prblem as far as room...just I cant eat quest bars with out getting sleepy .. I guess I dump on it. was thinking maybe I could eat something else with it to help
