Share ideas, What did you eat today ?



Recommended Posts

I see that many people tell how many oz of meat you eat. Do you REALLY weigh your food or are you giving "guestimations"?

I have started working 10 hour days and discovered that i am a "grazer/snacker'----100 calorie packs are NOT my friend....Chocolate covered almonds--NOT my friend!!!

I went today and bought trail mix and yoguart covered almonds....Don't know how healthy that is--but at least it's fiber!!!

today--

b-choc pb Protein shake

l-camplbell's cup o chili

s-snack cherrios, 2 raspberries, 1/2 kit kat

d-left over chinese food (about 3 tbspoons)

big baby - outside of going out to eat, i do measure/weigh out my food...if i don't i WILL eat more, even when i don't need it.

since your days are busier - might need to plan out your meals; make in advance, if i don't start the day with a good idea of what my meals will be, the tendency to make a poor choice in food is likely in my future.

yesterday -

b- 1/2c kashi oat w/2%milke with half banana

l- 2oz grilled chicken

d- 3 coconut shrimp, glass of chardonay

s- SB chocolate soy nuts

Big Baby, I agree totally with Luluc. I weigh my food as well, because I believe it's important to (1) keep my portion sizes consistent, (2) ensure I get enough Protein in my day, and (3) not overstretch my pouch with too much food, because my eyes are ALWAYS bigger than my stomach! :thumbup:

I also strongly believe in a "food plan" - I pack my lunch box every day (sometimes even on the weekends) with my planned meals, and stick to it. More often than not, I don't even eat everything in my lunch box. ("Lunch Box" is a bit of a misnomer, since it includes my Breakfast and sometimes my dinner also.)

It's a different lifestyle, requiring many changes to personal habits and strategies. But it's worth it!

Hugs,

Donna

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
