Rockin' Robyn 15 Posted August 24, 2006 OKAY GIRLS!!! Let's do this thing! Let's just take it one day at a time and see how it goes. You must COMMIT to coming on here daily and logging EVERY SINGLE BITE you put in your mouth, as well as the Water you are drinking (water....what's that??), as well as the activity you had for the day. I'll start....this is going to be reallllllly hard for me:think , but here goes.....HONESTY, remember HONESTY.....aka accountability amongst friends;) BREAKFAST: 1 egg, 2 pieces Canadian Bacon LUNCH: 1/4 cup mashed potatoes, 1/4 cup fajita vegetables, 1/4 cup flank steak (came home and crashed) SNACK: vanilla ice cream cone from McDonalds about 15 pringles when I got home and raided the cabinets about 1/4 cup whole cashews DINNER: 1/2 cup chili topped with melted cheese and dollup of sour cream lots of tortilla chips! (I would estimate 2 "normal" servings, maybe 20 chips) WATER: NONE.....MAYBE 2, 8 oz servings of tea EXERCISE: Probably on my feet for a total of 2 hours out of the 10. There...I did it, and now I feel incredibly motivated to be better tomorrow so I don't feel like such a big toe. THINGS I DID WELL: I actually ate Breakfast which I usually dont.....did okay for 50% of the day. WAYS TO IMPROVE TOMORROW: Don't crash at the end of the day!! No snacking....drink more fluids throughout the day....exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheetsin 714 Posted August 24, 2006 I missed this. Ok yesterday was umm... thinking... - Didn't eat breakfast, I'm usually too tight. - lunch was a Starkist lunch 2 Go, so 3 oz tuna, 6 Ritz crackers, and mayo in the tuna, and I think I had some pepperoni chips. Water was about 100 oz. - dinner was leftovers, half of a Chipotle bol w/ chicken, black Beans and cheese, and I added lowfat sour cream at home. - After dinner was a Protein drink made with 2 scoops Protein (40g), about 12 oz orange juice, and a packet of Splenda. Today I'm just now eating my first meal, lunch, which is full fat cottage cheese, about 4 tbl, and about 25 pepperoni chips. Not sure what dinner will be... and I know I'll have a Protein Drink for "dessert". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rockin' Robyn 15 Posted August 25, 2006 Okay girls....Don't make me do this on my own:phanvan . How did everyone do? Here goes for me....I thought I did much worse than I did, but after I actually logged what I ate on FitDay...it actually only came to 1032 calories, which is actually pretty good I think. Here goes: Breakfast: 80 calorie ff yogurt, coffee with equal and Creamer Lunch: Immitation crab sticks (60 cal), 1/4 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup salad with a serving of ff ranch Snack #1: 4 med Peanut Butter Cookies (over the course of about 3 hours) Darn things were calling my name from the breakroom table........ Snack #2: 1 pretzel stick, 1 strawberry, 1 small cream puff, 1 cookie stick all dipped in chocolate fondue:o Snack #3: 3 small cubes of cheese Dinner: 1-2 oz of a broiled hamburger patty, (maybe) 1/4 cup (if that) of baked chopped up potatoes, corn, onion mixture, all topped with 1 Tablespoon BBQ Sauce Exercise: Worked a 12 hour shift, very busy...probably walking and on my feet about 3 hours of that total. (I need to figure out how to work that free pedometer they sent us after the surgery to figure out how many steps I take in a day at work). Water: Surprisingly...this has been an eye opener for me today.....I drank more Water than ever, but I'm still only at 4, 8 oz servings....so that would be 32 oz? Need to work on that some more before I go to bed. Totals for day: 1032 calories, 44 gms Protein Not Bad all in all......How about the rest of you all? Don't leave me hangin';) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheetsin 714 Posted August 25, 2006 Today I'm just now eating my first meal, lunch, which is full fat cottage cheese, about 4 tbl, and about 25 pepperoni chips. Not sure what dinner will be... and I know I'll have a Protein drink for "dessert". That's where I was yesterday, and here's how I ended: Protein Drink. Never got hungry lastnight, but did the Protein b/c I knew I had to. See what I mean? Just absolutely no appetite. I haven't chewed food since noon yesterday, and I'm still not having the slightest sign of hunger. This is how it has been for me since day 2 of the pre-op liquid diet, so for almost 6 months now. I very, very rarely feel hunger, and certainly eat when I do... I just don't have an appetite any more. About 3 mos into this I called the dietician and asked her if I needed to worry about anything. People are starting to get concerned because I eat such small amounts when I do eat, and on top of that I'm just not really eating that frequently. She said that as long as I got my protein in, I had nothing to worry about. *shrug* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
