Oh PoMo , i am without a doubt the very last person who should be answering your post. All the advice you seek is in your post. dont eat every 2-3 hours cut out the sugars increase protein increase water add exercise after the surgery it is all a mental game and you have to commit to winning the mental game or the physcial one is lost. Start by cutting out the sugars then the refined carbs- if its located in the middle of a store it is not a good idea. replace with protien and start walking and dont stop. walk all the time as much as you can whenever you can. drink water pls. If you have to add 0 calorie flavors to help. Last - Dont Surrender come back everyday and lets us know how you did and how far you walked and google wls support for you city and find a grp of local people going thru this so you can feel connected. Just dont give up

People either love it or hate it. That's why I said I negotiated with myself. LOL. But I do actually like their WF Italian, and I like their WF Asian and WF Sesame Ginger. I have even gotten to where I will tolerate the Chipotle Mayo cuz who doesn't love better living through chemistry. And if I can max my cals out with protein and nutrients rather than expending them on gooberish stuff like sauces and dressings, why not? So I gave myself permission to "like" them.

MyFitnessPal to track all food exercise & water. It’s the best in my opinion. If anyone knows of a better one send it my way!

This was at my little brother’s wedding day at the justice of the peace. So I had to take a pic

Went to the store tonight and stocked up on some items that will help me make healthy meals, so I'll actually make new things instead of relying on the old stand-bys that are getting repetitive. I got: bag of chopped broccoli/cauliflower (currently roasting in the oven with some baby carrots) two Roma tomatoes Laughing Cow light Swiss wonton wrappers turkey pepperoni 90% lean ground beef Greek yogurt cream cheese mozzarella cheese sticks (like string cheese, not the breaded kind) Canadian bacon regular bacon a squeeze bottle of ginger skim milk EVOO pizza sauce a bag of clementines small cans of tomato sauce and diced tomatoes a can of chickpeas (to try @AshAsh1's roasted chickpeas -- I've never had chickpeas, only hummus) pineapple tidbits in juice The ham, pizza sauce, pineapple, and some shredded mozzarella we already had are in the oven with the veggies, becoming crustless Hawaiian pizzas based on this recipe: https://www.ellaclaireinspired.com/no-crust-pizza-bites/ I also plan on making these mini cheeseburger meatloaf muffins, though not tonight: http://www.hungry-girl.com/ask-hg-q-and-a/seven-healthy-protein-packed-recipes

I love MyFitnessPal! I use it in conjunction with my fitbit, it works great!

Sorry to hear - I did that once - didn't get sick, but couldn't take another bite - couldn't move - just couldn't do anything but pray, swallow slowly, and hope that it passed (literally) and didn't come back up. It was miserable! No rushing. Always make time for your meal - and don't eat distractedly. I'm reminding ME not you I'm still at risk to do it again! Hope you're feeling better!
