ugh! didn't track food - felt off balanced!!!



Recommended Posts

i've been religiously measuring and weighting AND tracking everything i eat (MFP) for the past 6 weeks. i was off work today so i didn't prepare my meals the night before .... so i guess i jus got busy w/kids and the house and never tracked anything i ate. i still made good food choices, i jus didn't measure/weigh or track anything except my late breakfast...(everything bagel thin - 2 oz ham - 1 oz cheddar cheese - toasted and made into a sandwich - only ended up eating half - daughter ate the other half when i got up lol!!!) i know i made good choices - i guess i'm jus frustrated because i don't have proof - or a calorie intake number for today. i know it's not about calories, but about Portion Control and food choices - but my crazy brain jus needs to see concrete numbers/food choice lists/ etc. to remind the rest of me that i'm still doing a good job and still on track. (plus tracking keeps me accountable for what i eat - measuring keeps me honest about portions!!! ) i'll do better tomorrow for sure! i don't like feeling out of sorts - espeically w my eating!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Just log what you remember as best you can. Tomorrow is another day. Make it a good one, one day at a time.

Great job on the good choices, and nothing is stopping you from logging what you remember you ate today. It won't be quite as accurate, but it is better than nothing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
