Need opinion

[JayEls 1]

Hello everyone

I've been on the preparation program for 14 month, but the information I got here in the past few days was way more informative, so thank you all.

Now I had my wls on Dec 9, I lost about 7 pounds and seems like I lost my diabetes and hypertension in the process hoooray.

I didn't have any complications with my intake. No pain or nausea or nothing.

My starting wight was 267 and day of surgery was 252 and today I am at 245.5.

I am a female, 54 years young and my hight is 5 7

Attached is an example of my daily intake, witch I would love to hear your thoughts about it.

It is still super early on for you, but it seems like you are doing a great job; both with your Protein intake and your weight loss. We all lose weight at different speeds, but it's about not adding foods in too fast to let your body heal and making sure you are getting all the protein and Vitamins you need to keep your body healthy.

Keep making good choices and enjoy the journey!

Thank you Chatterboxdea for the postive encouragement. I try to follow my instructions as strict as possible but I was worried about the carb intake, I am thinking it's high but I don't know how to fix it.

You have made a fantastic start. Write down all your thoughts in a journal. I found it has really helped me reset later when I mentally went off track. I’m really happy for your recovering overall health!

Hello learn2cook,

Thank you for replying💝. I love the journal idea, reminds me of my young days 😉 when i kept a journal for almost 13 years.

I will start on it right away.

Unless your program has given you an extremely restrictive carb limit, your carb intake is perfectly fine with a reasonable calorie intake for early on and most of your calories coming from Protein. The only thing I would question is if your sugar intake is natural sugar or added sugar. If it's fruit, great. If it's added sugar in your coffee, not so good. You don't seem to be getting more than 3g of fat right now, which you may want to ask your program about just to make sure that's not too low.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply 💝

The Sugar probably from my no added sugar fruit yogurt. I stopped added sugar for 8 month now, about the same time I stopped drinking pop which was one of my biggest problems. I had GERD and i thought pop helping me when in fact it was making it worse "a fact i was told when i was admitted to hospital because of GERD".

I will ask my team about the fat intake .
