Starting over-Day #6

Think I'm getting the hang of this. Think my previously stretched out pouch has shrunk back down because I have no more hunger pain, and I'm never hungry. Strange how overeating actually was making me hungry...Here's the calorie log for the day:   B: 2 mini crustless quiche (180 cal / 16 protein), 1/2 cup cottage cheese (80 cal /10 protein). S: 1/2 cup Pistachios (170 cal / 6 gm protein) L: 1 cup taco meat (200 cal / 20 protein), lettuce, salsa, 2 tbsp low fat sour cream (40 cal / 2 protein) D: Lean Cuisine Chicken/Spinach Dinner (180 cal / 20 protein) S: 1 cup ricotta cheese mixed with sugar free lemon flavor jello pudding mix (320 cal / 24 protein)   Totals for today are 1170 calories and 88 gms protein.   Surgery Date: 8/5/05 Starting Weight: 384 pounds Lowest Weight 1/2/07: 226 pounds Starting over Date: 1/4/09 at 320 pounds Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

Starting Over-Day #9

Made a yummy new low carb recipe today...Buffalo Chicken Dip. Very simple too. Just throw a bag of frozen chicken into the crockpot, throw one bottle of your favorite wing sauce over that, then sprinkle one package of Hidden Valley Ranch dry dressing mix over that. Cook until chicken is tender, then shred the chicken, mix in two 8 oz packages of cream cheese and stir well. You can serve it hot or cold, and could eat it with a fork instead of as a dip if you wanted to cuz its just that good! Anyway, here's the accountability log of food for the day:     B: 1 cup ricotta cheese mixed with sugar free lemon flavor jello pudding mix (320 cal / 24 protein) topped with 1/4 cup blue berries (10 cal / 0 protein) L: Lean Cuisine Meatloaf (no potatoes) (200 cal / 20 protein) D: 1 cup Buffalo Chicken Dip with celery sticks for dipping ( 380 cals / 36 Protein ) S: 1 cup ricotta cheese mixed with sugar free lemon flavor jello pudding mix (320 cal / 24 protein) topped with 1/4 cup blue berries (10 cal / 0 protein) That makes the grand total for today 1240 calories and 104 gms protein!

Day #2

Today's intake:   B: 3 mini crustless quiche (270 Cals/ 24 Protein) S: 1 cup cottage cheese (80 Cals/ 8 Protein) L: side salad with 2 tbsp ranch (148 Cals/ 0 Protein), 1/4 c asparagus (10 Cal / 1 Protein), 4 sea scallops (100 cals / 20 Protein) S: String Cheese (80 Cal /8 Protein) D:Turkey Meatloaf (270 Cals/ 30 Protein) So that's a grand total for today of 958 Calories and 91 gms protein!   Felt like all I have been doing is eating all day...thought I had more calories than that. Felt kind of nauseated with dinner. I still consider myself loose compared to what I was before, but every now and then I still get the uncomfortable stuck feeling. It takes all I have to not go make the pain go away and resist the urge to purge. My husband and I went to a movie today, and I consider it a small victory that we just simply watched the movie and didn't get popcorn (which was all you could eat for free today) or a soda pop. I can't say I wasn't craving it the entire time...but I made it through. One day down, many more to go. You can do this Robyn!

Starting Over-Day #10

From experience, I'm fine with the second week plauteau. I remember from before I would lose 10ish pounds fairly quickly, then plateau for about a week. Patience and understanding is key :ohmy: Strangely been more hungry today than I have been. Not sure what that is about. I couldn't have lost that much fat around my band yet. Will ride it out and see. Here's the food log for the day:   B: 2 String Cheese (160 cal / 12 protein) S: 1/2 cup pistachios (200 cal/ 6 protein), L: 1 cup Buffalo Chicken Dip with celery sticks for dipping (380 cals / 36 Protein) D: 4 oz Tilapia (90 cals / 21 Protein), 1/2 cup steamed broccoli. S: 1/2 cup ricotta cheese mixed with sugar free lemon flavor jello pudding mix (160 cal / 12 protein) topped with 1/4 cup blue berries (10 cal / 0 protein) S: 1 cup Buffalo Chicken Dip with celery sticks for dipping (380 cals / 36 Protein) Total calories for today are 1380 cals and 123 gms protein! Definitely in ketosis...another day down :cursing:

Starting over, Day #5

Down 6 pounds as of today. Haven't been very hungry today. In fact, I have had to force myself to eat to get the cals/protein in. At 11:30 tonight, I had to go down to the fridge and figure what would be the best choice to get in 300 more cals and 10 more gms of protein. I think I'm officially detoxed from regular Coke as of today...that was probably one of my main vices to gaining so much weight back. So YAY for that! Here's the calorie log for the day:   B: South Beach Protein Bar (140 cals / 10 protein) L: 1 cup taco meat (200 cal / 20 protein), lettuce, salsa, 2 tbsp low fat sour cream (40 cal / 2 protein) D: 1 cup taco meat (200 cal / 20 protein), lettuce, salsa, 2 tbsp low fat sour cream (40 cal / 2 protein) Yes..it was a leftover day! S: 1 cup ricotta cheese mixed with sugar free lemon flavor jello pudding mix (320 cal / 24 protein)   Total calories for today is 940 calories and 68 grams of protein.

Starting Over-Day #11

Worked last night and slept most of the day, so calorie intake is a little weird. I'm tired again and getting ready to go to bed. So I didn't get as much as needed in today...but then again, my whole new outlook is I'm not going to beat myself up when I'm not 100 percent all the time. :ohmy: So here's my intake for today:   L: assorted cheeses (400 cal / 15 protein), 2 slices summer sausage (120 cal/ 7 protein) D: 1 cup steamed chicken and broccoli (115 calories / 22 protein) Totals for today are 635 calories and 44 gms protein. :cursing:

Starting Over-Day #7

Down 7 pounds so far...not to bad considering I should be retaining water about now and famished :w00t: Okay, so I didn't post yesterday's food in a timely fashion because I have had to work night shifts..but I still wrote every bite down with plans to do a late entry. Yesterday was a very emotional day for me, and I was able to do pretty well considering. Me and my hubby went on a date to Cheesecake Factory and actually shared an entree. We haven't done that since right after my surgery. It felt good to just eat a few bites and be satisfied. Much cheaper too!!   So here's my food for the day: B: 2 mini crustless quiche (180 cal / 16 protein), 1/2 cup cottage cheese (80 cal /10 protein). S: 1/2 cup Pistachios (170 cal / 6 gm protein) L: None-I slept through it! D: 2 ounces steak (150 cal / 15 gm protein) 2 oz salmon (150 cal / 13 gm protein) 3 bites red velvet cheesecake (oops-but I contained myself to 3 bites!) ( I'm going to overguestimate 300 cal / 0 protein) That makes a grand total for today of 1030 cals and 60 gm protein.

Starting over (again)

So I have gained almost 100 pounds back over the past 2.5 years. Had my band loosened after losing almost 170 pounds, as I began to get tired of vomiting all the time. Originally planned on just giving things a "rest", but then quickly enjoyed feeling normal being able to eat again. So here we are over 2 years later, miserable..kicking myself..ready to go at it again. Gonna try this blog thing to keep sort of an on-line diary for myself. Committing to keep a daily diary of food intake as well as other things. Also committing to get back to basics and do the things I did when I was successful before, which included lapband talk. You can do this again Robyn!

Starting Over-Day #14

Down 11 pounds. Have had a bit of the stomach flu the last couple days...actually I think it is more related to stress and life. But nonetheless, haven't had an appetite, and unable to keep much down-so didn't see the point in tracking. Even though the same is true today, I didn't want to get out of the habit of blogging. So here goes.   B: Slept L: 2 eggs-not sure how much kept down D: 4 oz mahi mahi with 1/8th avacado (the insides of a fish taco)..again not kept down.   But there..I blogged! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. :thumbup: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
