Eating & Drinking question



Recommended Posts

I too write it down, yes old school. I actually purchased a few biggest loser food journals when they were on sale and it was a good investment. I will probably always keep journals of my food intake; I want to keep this weight off for good!

It's somehow magical! I find the same thing. If I write things down, it works. If I don't, I feel like I am doing all the same things but am not losing! I don't know what it is but it works. I had heard that years ago in Weight Watchers and also in therapy (though it wasn't about food). There is just something that happens with the brain/hand connection!

I eat whatever I can, please help me structure a quality diet. Any suggestions? My I had my Surgery 11/5/2015. I'm 50lbs down but my wl had stopped. Help!!!!

You have done really well on your weight loss! I received an outline from my nutritionist showing what to have each day. It set out the amounts of liquids and food to take in the first week, second week,etc. From that, I was able to plan out my meals for the week. This helped me with grocery shopping most of all. I don't really stick to my plan all the time, but it is easy to substitute, for instance, 2 ounces of turkey breast for 2 ounces of some other Protein. It has helped me get into a routine which I really needed. I also write down what I eat and drink during the day so that I know if I'm meeting my Protein and Water requirements.

If something along those lines doesn't help, I suggest that you meet with your nutritionist. That would actually help most.

I hated all the myfitnesspal tracking things. Mostly because you have to set things up first so it knows what to count and I just didn't have the patience for that. Was I missing something on how t use it?

I personally didn't like myfitnesspal. It was the one my NUT suggested. My nurse uses LOSEIT. Tried that one- much easier for me and more user friendly IMO.

I just saw this question.if you want more responses, I recommend you start your own thread with your specific question.

Do you have a NUT? A 50 pound weight loss in three months is great. What is your concern?

Are you getting in all of your Protein and fluids every day?

I have an app called fat secret, I love it!!! Very simple and easy to use, tracking your food definitely makes you accountable for what you stick in your mouth!! Try something like that and drink,drink,drink! Water is the key to success as cliche as that may sound. Good luck!!

      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.
