Am I being bad? 2 months post-op - snacking and sugar...
I am 2 months post-op and down 43 pounds or so, most of which was lost during my first month, but i have some recent problems which is making it hard for me to exercise and get in all my protein (chronic daily headaches, horrible muscle spasms, etc.) I usually eat eggs, cheese, chicken, beefs, fish, soups, grilled cheese. But once in a while lately i have been snacking on cheese puffs, i know it is bad, but I will have half of the small bag and that's it. That would be the one snack I have for the day, its like 10g carbs, 5 fat grams and 70 calories for 1/2. (maybe twice a week) And i'll have 1 or 2 jolly ranchers every other day b/c they are at my chiropractors office. I also had real icecream twice since surgery- 1/3 cup vanilla, which is about 12 grams of sugar, maybe I don't dump? . . .Am i grazing? I don't want to fall into a routine of bad eating, but at the same time, its so hard with my illnesses to exercise and get the 80 grams of protein i need. (I usually get about 50grams a day lately) Any ideas or support or criticism is welcome! THANKYOU :-)
