Back to work...learning to measure

So this is my first week back to work.  I work nights as an RN....we tend to graze all night long.  Been having issues all week with vomiting d/t NOT measuring.  Easy at home, not so easy at work.  When I had my band, it stopped me in time mostly.  The sleeve is slightly delayed.  So if I'm not careful I can get in one or 3 bites too many and then it's 30 fun filled minutes of slimy toilet time! 

So tonights goal was to measure everything and start journaling every bite I take.  Measuring has gone well.  No over eating, no toilet time, feeling sated, and about to journal my intake. 

Who can recommend a good online food intake journal? 

great going , you lucky if you ever need a iv for dehydration you can get 1 at work

Signed up, easy to add foods to my list!  Not sure how to add you Angie.  Maybe you could add me once you're on.  Lorikelly1 is my username. 

You turned over a new leaf today! Great for you! Keep up the measuring, pace yourself, and keep drinking your liquids.

I have done better with my liquids, and it's such a relief not to have nausea! I'm sure you feel the same way! :-)

It's a shock to see how little calories I am taking in, even though it seems like I'm eating a lot!  For example, one RN passed out home made X mas presents...chocolate covered pretzel sticks.  Now I did eat them, but it took me 2 days to do it.  I don't plan on this indulgence everyday, but not trying to kill myself during the holidays either.  I am not going to freak out about a goodie every now and then. 

According to myfitness pal I am 70 gm of protein in, 604 calories, 21 fat, 35carbs.  Not totally ideal...but I got the protein in!

My fitness pal. It is loaded on my phone so I can plug anything in BEFORE I eat it and see if it is worth it or not.

THAT is an awesome idea!!!  Thanks!!  Going to do that today!

I use fatsecret.com for my tracking.
