My daily food intake

Nykee,

I would encourage you to begin logging the grams of Protein, fat, and carbohydrates you are eating. A good way to do this might simply be to visit nutritiondata.com and enter the name of the foods you frequently eat so that you can learn about their nutritional value. I have found this to be very helpful to me as I have changed several of the items in my fridge. Remember: a gram of Protein is 4 calories, and a gram of carbohydrate is also 4 calories, a gram of fat is 9 calories. The calories of a typical diet should be composed of 20% calories from protein, 20% from fat, and 60% from carbohydrates.

You and I like the same kinds of foods; unfortunately, they don't provide us with the quality nutrition that hotties like us need. Play with your food a little more: try sushi, have a Bocca dinner, experiment in the kitchen. The point is that there are lots of wonderful foods that taste great and are super nutritious. By the way, I noticed that neither of us are eating much. This means that every bite needs to be that much more nutritious. There's just a little room for junk in our stomaches (and I usually try to fill mine with vodka).

I love milk. It is one of my favorite foods. Sadly, unless the milk is skim it brings a lot of fat into our diets. Now fat is not a bad thing - unless it hangs over your belt or keeps you from seeing your toes, but as we all know too much of a good thing is bad. Also, watchout for the cheese. It is another personal favorite, but I have switched to mozerella and cut back because there is just too much fat in cheese. Saturated fat should be avoided and anything hydrogenated is a big no-no. A good rule of thumb regarding hydroginated fat is, if its baked and crispy look out! (think oreos, many chips, snack foods)

Everything I eat comes from a can or a box. Most everything in a bag is junk - so be cautious. If you ever find yourself sitting on a couch in the dark with a bag, run. The bag is a suave lover who first warms your heart but leaves you with stretchmarks. As for the box and can, they're not the best either, but lets face it - we wouldn't eat anything we did cook anyway, right?

Enjoy your food, get some Vitamins, balance your diet, and keep up the fantastic work.

Congrats on your weight loss. I just wanted to mention that my docotor said the only cream Soup to avoid is Tomato, that is because it has so much hidden sugar in it. When I am on liquids I warm up regular tomato juice and spice it up with hot sauce and italian sesonings and it taste great. Also if you like milk especially choc. try hoods carb countdown. It is 90% lower in sugar and actually tates very good. Keep on with the awesome weight loss.

>>>>>>>I know this like second nature.. I dont really need to keep track anymore.. I mean I need to, but I just take a look and I know pretty close to what it is.. Calories, fat and carbs that is..

it takes me a long time to log it all on fitday, so I just come here sometimes to list what I had so I have a record I can look back on...

>>>>>>>>>lol... your right....I went from 135 pound strechmark free 15 yr old to a 325 pound 19 yr old.. My streachmarks are two inched wide and up to 10 inches long.. and cover every part of me just about.

Enjoy your food, get some Vitamins, balance your diet, and keep up the fantastic work.

>>>>>>thankyou... Your advice is great.. KEEP GIVING IT!!!!

        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
