Im eating about 700 cals a day now, sometimes 800 if I work out or really starving (RARE)

Have you ever done Weight Watchers? I eat like I did on WW. In other words, low fat, low sugar, low sodium and of course HIGH PROTEIN!

You really need to track your food, accountability is the key to success/ Feel free to friend me on MFP - melbogg

I havent tried salad yet, seems like it would take up too much tummy space without enough nutrition. Although a crisp salad sounds so good!!!

I have done ww before, several times. I think I focus more on Protein than anything else well and keeping my sugar intake low but I will try getting back on Mfp. I will add you as a friend as well. Thanks. I am jaelisa on Mfp.

I was sleeved Nov 1st and have lost 34lbs since surgery and 51 total. I work out, get my Protein, low carbs and drink plenty of Water and compared to some, I'd be considered a " slow" loser. Although I'd love for it to melt off of me, I am grateful for what has come off. I know that I would never have gotten this far without surgery. Along with everything I'm learning lately, being patient is the hardest.

I've had a few bites of salad. It has been fine- lettuce is almost all Water so it doesn't take up much space. I've only had it 3-4 times. And only 2-3 bites each time

I have a problem with boiled eggs too. Which is odd because I can eat most other things.

My weight came to a standstill this month...but I did eat a lot of chocolate covered valentines strawberries! I have about 23lbs. to go so I guess I can't complain..I'm going to try to get 5lbs off in the remaining 8 days of this month but don't think I can do that since I've been averaging 7-8 lbs for a month.

I'm also at a standstill. To have a bmi that's not obese I need to lose 70 more lbs. I believe I started out heavier then others. I'm still having trouble getting liquids in. Which is shocking for me because I used to drink 80 ounces before surgery.

It's weird that there are some things I can eat more of,than others. For example I can usually only eat 1 taco, yet I can eat 18+ mini rice cakes (130 cal.) with no problem. The sweet chili ones are unfortunately my weakness. You would think I wouldn't be able to eat many of the rice cakes.

      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.
