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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
