Hi all,

Just wanted to ask you all a question...

I'm planning to include Muesli (or some other whole grain cereal) into my meal plan. The past few days I have been very low on energy and feel slightly dizzy during workout. I'm doing only 500-700 calories a day and it is not sufficient for my workouts. So I want to increase my calories intake without sabotaging the weight loss badly.

I thought muesli would be a good idea because of the Fiber, but the sugar is also equally high and now I'm confused. So do you guys think it would be okay to eat muesli for Breakfast?

What kind of cereals do you guys eat?

Thanks!

Do you eat or drink before you workout? I did that too and I started drinking a Protein Shake or eating a yogurt before I work out and it helped with dizziness.

I drink a small cup (100 ml) of milk before workout. I havent had this dizziness before - it is just the past two days. I realized that my calories intake was especially low these two days. I usually have a mid-day snack of two egg whites (scrambled) everyday. But I missed it these two days. And also I didnt feel like eating at all the whole day yesterday. Today my appetite returned but still, I'm hitting only 600 calories.

      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.
