I try to keep my carbs under 50, but occassionally they go up to 55, so that's not so bad. I get about 700-800 calories a day. It seems to be working. I notice though if I just eat Protein for lunch or dinner, I don't try to have any veggies, I can usually get in a little more calories...plus I think it depends on how active I am in the day too. My doctor said he's not going to give me number, just that the 450 calories a day I was at was too few. I'm losing weight just fine on the 700-800 calories and all of my blood work is coming back fine. Well, my good cholesterol is low, so I rearranged what I was eating to try to get different types of protein in. Still equalled out the same amount of calories.

Since I've posted this I've found them in some Walmarts, too. They are $5.50 a box. While the drug store near me does have the Atkins bars, just not this flavor. Try Amazon. I've seen them there pretty cheap, too. Also, the almond cranberry is pretty tastey, too!

I don't know what size I am. I went shopping yesteray and bought sizes 14, 12, and 10. I fit in all of them. I think it depends on the cut of the pants. No matter haven't been this size in years!

Aye Papi! You look amazing! Keep it up! Your swagger is showing through in your smile! Keep doing the damn thing! -
With it being the end of school year we're all kinds of receptions, and parties. Today was the senior's last day so there's cake, and all kinds of stuff in there. Plus I have to work this fancy reception tonight where they will have lemon bars. I'm only one person. It's too much temptation!

Went to the hand specialist - I have a particial tear of the ligment of my thumb. Have to wear a custom splint for 6-8 weeks, and still might need surgery. It's still particially attached to the bone, but if it doesn't grow back together I will need surgery. Worst part? No hand weights over 3 pounds. Now I can do that, but those weights in Water aerobics are hard with the water resistance. Gotta find a way to strap that sucker to my hand so I can work these flabby arms out!

Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement
Shanny replied to wendy1974's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
I don't really like them. I made the mistake of adding milk to it - it was like trying to drink clay. Lord it was thick. I needed more calories so I thought I could get a few in by using milk instead of water. Won't do that again. I find that they are a bit too sweet, too. Maybe I'm just used to Unjury at this point. Hope they work for you! -
My baby just bought me the Zumba Exhilarate because I'm too shy to go to a class. I don't like working out in a group. Hell, my water aerobics class only has 5 people in it!

I've lost over 5 pounds in 1 week just by eating like I'm supposed to! It's amazing that when you follow this sleeve plan like you should the results you can get out of it. I'm rocking my sleeve!

Today was the first dance aerobics class. Not only did I feel uncoordinated, but my body still is sore from yesterday. I need a day to recouperate!

I broke my stall! I went back on my prescribed food plan, no snacking, no eating stuff I'm not supposed to have no matter how small the portions. I've lost 3.4 pounds in 4 days! Yea me!!!!

Woo-hoo!!! That's fantastic!

Back on track today. I've eaten what I'm supposed to eat and I'm not letting the head hunger or the mouth watering get to me. I worked out at lunch - all weight lifting today. Many I'm a weakling! I feel good, though!!!

I've discovered that I am an emotional eater. I got mad at my girlfriend last night so what did I do? I went to the store and bought a bag of Hot Fries, and a lemonade. I ate 3/4 of the bag of Hot Fries. I didn't eat dinner or anything remotely healthy or full of protein, I just wanted something that I wanted at that time. When am I going to learn that food is NOT a substitute for feeling what I'm feeling?

Shanny replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's it! I have got to STOP snacking. This past week I've been snacking like a crazy person and not eating real food, even though I'm exercising like a madwoman, I'm not losing as much as I should. I'm on the wagon again!

So, I got my labs back today. Everything was great but they said that my good cholesterol is low - 33. I don't even know what that means. Apparently I need to eat more foods with higher good cholesterol, but I don't even know what they are. Nutrition is hella new to me. I'm already struggling to get 3 meals a day and 1 snack of protein in a day. Any suggestions?

Does anyone else not take calcium citrate?
Shanny replied to groovearmada's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
I don't have to take calcium citrate. I've have blood work done several times and my doctor has never told me I needed it. I don't take B12 either. I only had a Vitamin D definciency but I took pills for that for about 3 months and now I'm off of those too. I only take 2 gummy multivitamins everyday - and that has calcium carbonate in it. -
Where are my Flirty Thirties?
Shanny replied to travelchick's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hey 30s crew! I turned 35 in April. OMG! Can I just tell you that when my son watches MTV now I tell him stories about when they used to show music videos, and Headbanger's Ball. I don't know what the hell this Jersey Shore crap is, but it wasn't on in the 80s! I was sleeved almost 3 months ago, and I've lost nearly 60 pounds already. I want to get back to my 90s weight of 135. We'll see. I think as long as I can shop in the regular section of the store (nearly there -currently in a 14) that I'll be okay with that. So, I've got a few grey hairs now. You can't stop the sexy! -
A woman I work with has been gaining weight lately. She gave me two big bags of size 16 and 14 clothes! They fit and look brand new. I just went through my closet and took out all of my 18s and 20s that I can no longer fit for her. I love clothes swapping!

Congratulations! Good luck with everything. l hope it's smooth and I'm curious to see how things play out post baby! That's so awesome!

Man, I'm having a sweets/carb craving today like nobody's business!!! I'm not eating things I shouldn't so why after 2.5 months post surgery is it just now kicking in?
