Not Even Two Weeks Out, Calories High

[jaymzee 79]

I mean i think its because i am stuck with three scoops of Protein which is 110 each, with 12 ounces of half percent milk. Then i can only have 100% juices, canned Soups, yogurt...

Anyone else get in lots of calories in the beginning stages especially, am i right to think it's because the lack of options?

Maybe this is why I've only lost two pounds since surgery.

Could you post a day's journal? To get an idea of what you are consuming?

[alliegb3 112]

I agree- post a day journal for us. All Soups need to be low fat and everything else sugar free. You shouldn't be doing too much juice right now bc of sugar content. Even 100% juice is still a truckload of sugar.

What about switching to fat free milk? They taste the same to me. Juices have a lot of calories. My nutritionist said to cut them with an equal amount of Water.< /p>

A journal would be helpful, but I still would ditch the juice. It is a LOT of unnecessary calories.

what Protein mix are you using? I dont use a mix, I drink Isopure AlpinePunch drink,its like a clear fluid.,Im just curious as to what one you use.because i think there is a difference.

[alliegb3 112]

Isopure that makes your alpine punch makes it in a powder so you can mix it yourself. They also make like chocolate and vanilla powders- you can mix with milk

You still don't do dairy products. eggs are a meat. Dictionary. com defines:

dairy product

noun milk and butter and cheese

36 oz of milk is alot of sugar, too - is there a reason to make your protien with milk. I only did that when I needed to add a few calories.

Dont forget the importance of your daily Vitamins and supplements, if you body doesn't register enough basic stuff coming in - not just energy (calories) but Water, Vitamins and minerals and especially sleep, you will tend to stall and or lose less.

And alot of smoothie places have the Isopure protiens to add to your smoothie, but again a smoothie for me is when I know I am aiming for the calories too.
