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!!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
