Oh many breakfast today!



Recommended Posts

I somehow just consumed 300 calories for breakfast! I am averaging 600-700 calories at 5 weeks out but I didn't plan today and ended up with a 2 egg omelet and a piece of bacon from a takeout place and I had already had a skim milk latte. I wonder if it will have an adverse effect and ramp up my weight loss? I have been averaging an ounce or 2 every couple of days and no more than 1/2 to 1 lb a week since week 3.

Edited to say please forgive my typo in the title!

Sometimes when I eat few more calories I lose more.

I hope so. Do you think my calories are too low at this point? Some days my carbs are VERY low like under 20 some days they are slightly above 50. I feel like I am losing more slowly than with the band but maybe that is just my perception. I can't find my weigh-in records from that time. My husband thinks I am crazy by the way.

I still stay around 800 calories a day and I'm 9 months post -op. It's getting harder to do though. It was easy in the beginning. I also try to keep my carbs low. I usually track everything I eat. I just knew it would get harder eventually once I lost so much and it has, now I will have to exercise to get the rest off I'm sure, I didn't exercise at all the first 96 lbs.

      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.
