I did pretty good yesterday.

B - 2 scrambled eggs with taco meat and sour cream

L - 8 kashi crackers, sliced ham and swiss cheese

D - salad and grilled chicken breast

S - cottage cheese and dry roasted endamame

Total carbs for the day was only 22, Protein was 65, but my calories for the day were a little low. I'll have to watch that. I need to keep them between 900 and 1000. Was only 790 yesterday.

My carbs are up a little today at 45, (toast for Breakfast and brown rice for dinner) but once again my calories are a little low (709). I'll have to sneak in some extra protein or a low carb slim fast to boost my calories.

Where do you get this dry roasted endamame? I keep hearing about it.

I don't know what it is, but I want something to snack on that's not

a bad choice. I see a lot of people eating it and I don't know what it

is or where to find it.

What part of the grocery store is it in?

I get frozen endamame from sam's. It comes in individual containers. YOu cook it in the microwave for 3 minutes and then eat the peas out of the pod. It is one of my favorites, and I think it is better for you because it is steamed, not dried. I could be wrong, but less sodium I think???????? I actually bought some more today.

The dry roasted endamame can be purchased online at either snackaisle.com or thru Amazon. I haven't found them at any local stores, but then I live in a rural community.

I really like them and they have lots of Protein and fairly low carbs. I keep some at my desk for when I have the urge to nibble.

Ok, time for me to get serious with this low carb thing again. I am soooooo ready to be in onederland, but I am not going to get there on Starbucks and Sonic slushes. So, here I go.

So far today

B - Atkins Caramel Latte shake

That's it so far, but I wanted to post to hold myself accountable.

l-one tbs of spicy guacamole and about 3 Veggie chips, hot raspberry tea w/ Splenda

d-chicken broth, hot tea

I've had to order mine online at either snackaisle.com or at Amazon. I live in a small southern town and have trouble finding things like this.

      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.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
