What Did You Eat Today???? Accountability Thread



Recommended Posts

Anyone out there need support and accoutnability daily as far as diet??? I know I sure do. This thread is for those of us who would like to check in daily, tell what we ate, share recipes, and provide support to one another on this journey!! We all have good and bad days. Having support from others helps me get back up and keep going. If you're game, just join in.

Make it a great day!!!

Thanks Renewed for getting this started!! I will start by posting what I had today, or yesterday rather! I'll for-warn you that I do not have accurate measurements. My sister had a bridal shower tonight and I saved up all day so I could enjoy the food, so I'll do the best I can in describing what I had.

B'fast- Low carb slim fast

lunch- Low carb slim fast

dinner- 2 pig in the blankets, 3 bite-size cheese cubes, a small spoonful of chicken salad, a small spoonful of pimento cheese, 5 ritz crackers, and a mini muffin.

Here's what I had

B-Nothing

L - 4 chicken bites from sonic

D - 1/2 cup meat with fried rice

S - white chocolate mocha

Not great, I know. I also went to the gyn today. Maybe that will help a little.

I am not going to count calories right now. That really stresses me out after awhile. It is much too dietlike. I am going to focus on eating good foods and eating the right portions. If that doesn't work then I will change something. I am still looking for what is going to work best for me.

You are so right, we can all use all the support we can get! It is nice to share ideas for menus and have accountability as well, but isn't there already this kind of thread in the food forum? Are you aiming for this to be more of a support each other type of thread versus the other thread that I think was sort of examples of what we bandsters eat?

Definately a support thread. I saw the other thread right after I started this one. I probably should have called it something else. Several of us were on Atkins diet together. Some of us are not doing atkins anymore, so we felt that we should start a new thread so those that wanted to do atkins could continue on that thread. However, we still want to provide support and accountability to one another, so I started a new thread to do that. Probably should have called it something different, but oh well, we can't have too much support.

Well, today wasn't too bad. Here's the menu:

B'fast- low carb slim fast

Lunch- 3/4 c. pumpkin chili

Snack- 1/4 c. dry roasted edamame

Dinner- 1/2 mushroom and swiss stuffed chicken breast & 1/4 c. green Beans

Snack- a brownie :thumbup:

Even though I'm not doing low carb anymore, I'm still going to drink the low carb slim fast for Breakfast. It still has more Protein than the high Protein slim fast and I think the calories are about the same.

I will admit it, I ate nothing but crap!!! :thumbup::cursing::angry:

I am losing, but not from restriction, it is only becuase I am being VERY disciplined!!! Down 34 pounds (banded 12/12).

Just for dinner: :tt1:

3 glasses of white zin

3 wings

1/2 buffalo burger with cheese (sans the bread)

1/2 order of bread pudding

Go ahead and chastise me...I deserve it. I will be better tomorrow. I promise!!! I am hoping that since I posted, I will be better to move on, rather than feel guilty.

Are you all at your optimal restriction? It seems like your eating so little....

Brandymom

I don't think I'm quite at my "sweet spot", but I think I'm very close. I now have 6cc's in my 10cc band. It's pretty strange, because some days I can eat all I want, and other days I can only eat a few bites. This band has a mind of it's own, lol!

Renewed, sonic has THE BEST drinks! I love their slushes! I like the strawberry cream slush, I would imagine that is pretty high in sugar and calories! I used to always get a cherry limeade too, but now I can't have carbonated drinks, so I haven't had one in over 5 months!:thumbup:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
