I HATE these high carb days!!! :( They're so much harder for me than the low carb days because I really let myself go. Also by the low carb days I have a very clear idea of what I CAN'T eat, so it's way easier for me to make good choices. so far today I ate 912 calories 91g carbs And I still have a wedding to go to, so i'll be lucky if I'll keep my calories below ~1200. I usually like to keep 'em below 1000....

Nice!! btw, how did u paste your totals from mfp here?

Just finished logging in for today, my low carb day 1,002 calories 38g of carbs 53g of fat 94g of protein Hope I did alright... I went over my my 50g of fat limit...

Cool site, thanks I didn'tnotice, are there lo carb dinner recipes on the site?

Missy really hit it on the head! But also, just to add: It might help you to listen to really motivation music while you workout. For me I absolutely cannot workout without thumping music. I'm simply too lathargic. or if your going on the treadmill and find it tedious try watching a video, to take your mind off of it...

LOL Glad I was able to give u a good idea after all the help/advice you've given me!!

What about fish? Nuts? Cheese? I happen to hate fish, but I eat string cheese, yogurts etc. A lot of dairy on low carb days...

btw, I'm on my low carb day and already had 12g of carbs so far... Gonna have turkey slices for dinner with pickles and red onions. Starting a new job tomorrow and am so stressed that I wanna pig out and devour everything in sight!! But i'm really gonna have to hold back...

Ahhh sorry to hear about your "friend" heck, with friends like these who needs enemies?? lol Hope you feel better soon!!

BTW, I'm gonna carb cycle again this week but i'm switching the days. Today is my low carb day... It's a little easier for me this way due to my schedule Looking forward to another week of this, it's so great that we're all in this together !!

OMG!!! I'm so excited to hear this!!! GO YOU!!! :D

My doc said a loss of 1-2 lbs per week for the first year is very good. When I hit a plateau recently I tried carb cycling and lost a few lbs that week. I guess the change of routine has been helpful to me Good luck

Thank you SO much for your continued support/advice/recommendations!! You have no clue how much I appreciate it, it has helped me so greatly. I think I got it, for the low carb days, we go high on fat For the high carb days we go low on fat

Just finished logging in for today and I had 1195 calories 129g of carbs 51g of fat 70g of protein Hope i'm doin ok... I felt like I ate like a cow today

Yeah it's great!! And i'm VERY picky with movies. It's rare that I really like a movie!!

I also can't stand that my day revolves around the gym, so I have started going really early (anywhere from 6-8AM) and I "get it out of the way". Once i know I hit the gym, I don't think about it again. Also, it helps me start my day right with a burst of energy. I was never a morning person, but I have recently been going to sleep no later then 10pm. I wake up feeling refreshed for the gym. Its a new routine/lifestyle but i'm feeling good about it

Awww thanks!!! Hugs right back atcha!! Can't wait to hear about your losses when you get on the scale!

How awful!! I'm sorry about your experience!! Tell your surgeon...!! Also, maybe try switching up your routine. Example: if you usually use certain machines at the gym, try out others. Or if u usually have 3 meals try having 5 small meals etc. Sometimes when we change out routine a little bit, our bodies snap back into weight loss mode, and stop plateauing. I am currently carb cycling and am so far (knock on wood!!) out of my plateau and am losing. This may work for you, too

My doc has absolutely no issues with carbonated drinks. Since being banded I have tried to cut out soda whenever I can. Soda makes me feel burpier than i used to feel after drinking it, but no bad reactions to it other than that.

I have a 14 cc band and am filled 4.2 cc's Not at the green zone yet, but feel very very close!
