birdee, and starbucks has SOOOOOO many carbs. Even with my starbucks I stay under on calories, but those carbs kill me. They don't help my sugar cravings a bit either.

Ok...Low Carbers does anyone worry about fat? My calories, carbs and Proteins are where they need to be....but my fat is a little high. Should I be concerned. Is there a range where fat should be....

I had cauliflower with cheese sauce and a steak and cheese sandwich(2 steak ums) with cheese...no bread.< /p>

Everything is OK with this meal as far as carb, calories, and Protein goes....just wondering about that fat?:)

Let me know your thoughs!!!

Thanks!

I try to watch the fat. I don't go nuts counting fat grams but I will choose something that has lower fat even if it adds carbs, such as skim milk.

I am glad there is no star bucks here. The nurse at our support group is always saying that the people who have trouble are those that choose to drink their calories.

Today my plan is: Atkins bar for Breakfast

chicken salad for lunch

Protein drink for dinner

B: 4 oz lean ham

L: 4 oz tuna/light mayo 2 tbls

My plan for dinner: 1/2 cup brocolli and pork loin

S: cottage cheese

The scale hasn't moved this week but it will (at least that's what I say when I'm talking to myself)

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

    • 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
