Weekly Food Discussion 3/3/08



Recommended Posts

Happy March.

We do this on another board I am on, it is a much smaller board, but since there aren't that many of us Feb 08er's I thought we could try it here. In this thread, who ever wants to join can come everyday and put what they are eating, kind of like a journal, and accountability place. It really does help. I even did it before I got my band.

So, I'll start:

b- Protein shake - banana, activia yogurt, skim milk, Protein powder

l - 1/2 cup pulled pork w/ BBQ Sauce 1/2 canned pear in lite juice

d - 3/4 cup chicken salad

s - skinny dipper ice cram bar

lots of Water

Patti, you are a doll for starting this and the weekly exercise thread!

I think I'll just copy and paste my Fitday totals to this thread at the end of every day. Great idea for accountability!

I guess it wasn't THAT bad. At least not if you compare it to my old eating habits.

I took my daughter to the doctor and the news was NOT NOT good, so we stopped on the way home for ice cream, and I joined her for some. I did make sure it didn't have anything crunchy... lol.

Then we had pizza for dinner, and I had a slice. I didn't eat the crust, and I chewed the heck out of it, and it went down ok, and I was full after 1. But it's still not something I'm supposed to eat and I sure hope my band didn't fall off. :biggrin:

Breakfast was 1 egg and one slice of ww toast, snack was CIB, for lunch I had a bean and black bean salsa burrito (well really a taco, they were the smaller shells).

So, all told, I guess it wasn't THAT bad. :rolleyes2:

Angie that wasn't so bad. We have a tool, we aren't expected to snap and change overnight. I sure hope your daughter isn't that bad, and that she will recover. Today is a new day, start fresh.

b- Protein drink (not the shake just a premade driink), and I think I'll get a scrambled egg

l- 1/2 cup chicken salad 1 canned pear (last nights dinner, ate yesterday's lunch for dinner)

s - activia yogurt

d - pork roast and a little of whatever else mom makes with it

s - a bite if that chocolate cake she baked for the heck of it and a big glass of milk.

I just made some split pea Soup in the crock pot. It turned out wonderful. I pureed some and had it. It was so nice and creamy. It was worth waiting all day for it to cook. Yummy! I will be freezing this for later since my Dh does not care for it and the boys will probably eat just a little.

okay--- for supper tonight i had canned chicken--3 oz mixed with a tsp. of fat free sour cream and a little ranch mix (you know ranch dressing mix packets- just a little until it tasted good) it was wonderfull! especially if you are on soft foods! i also had just a little dab of twice baked potato and tiny bit of applesauce--- about 1 oz of each-- it was a quite appetizing meal :shades_smile:

Ok so last night's dinner didn't sit so well, I guess for your first solid food, DO NOT try pork roast no matter how juicy it is.

Today I had coffee, YUMMO haven't had any in a few weeks.

B - Yogurt

s - Protein drink with extra Protein powder (20grams)

l - 1/2 cup chicken salad & 1/2 canned pear

d - not sure yet, maybe pot roast or pulled pork with bbq

s - skinny dipper

I had pork tenderloin a few days ago and no trouble with it. It was nice and juicy, though, maybe that made the difference.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
