No, I eat a LOT for a bandster

breakfast: a chocolate Peanut Butter and banana Protein Shake

mid morning: small handful raw cashews

lunch: zucchini and leek Soup

afternoon: leftover green bean and zucchini salad (just 1/4 cup) and an iced coffee made with skim milk, and later, a teeny piece of chocolate

dinner: lamb shank, lentil and pearl barley stew

I did the most torturous workout today with a 20kg sandbag, and its left me quite hungry. I'm maintaining now so as long as I dont gain, and I dont fill my stomach to uncomfortably full, I really try not to worry that I'm eating too much. In fact, I must need it for the amount of exercise I do because I've actually lost a bit lately.

Not such a great day for me today, no time to eat properly. its 115 degrees here, we went to the beach:

Breakfast: oatmeal with organic peanut butter/maple Syrup

during the day: handful of cheezels, an icrecream, 2 diet cokes

Dinner: (will be) salmon done in foil on the BBQ with coconut milk/sweet chilli/lemongrass and coriander, and a salad. I'll serve rice, probably skip it though.

I am hanging out for a nice very cold glass of wine (its SO HOT, 4th day in a row over 110).

today's my weekly "cheat day" so it won't be good lol...

b: iced chai tea latte & a caramel macchiato biscotti from starbucks (460 cal) :rolleyes:

l: i'll probably order a salad or something, around 400 cal

d: going to bonefish..again...won't be good. i'll order crab cakes (i'll eat a half) and pick on these cheese potatoes. i have no idea how many calories, but it isn't low. i would guess it's in the 900 range. :eek::eek:

Total estimated cal: 1760 (i'll just round up to 2000 though just in case if my figure for dinner is off a bit).

Tomorrow I go back to working out and making some better choices, but i know i'll "cheat" a litte at dinner because i'm making:

Saturday Dinner: 1/2 slice of pizza and a salad. Will have some of the weight watcher apple and pear crisp i'm making for my company.

Sunday Dinner: Latin burgers (i'll eat half a burger), but it has mexican cheese and onions and jalapeno peppers on it. I'll use a flat bread that's low cal for it.

I'll be strict for Breakfast and lunch for both days and will exercise with my at home 3 mile walking tape (with toning bands).

Ok, see ya Monday!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
