WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.

Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.

I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!

Good Morning LW's!!! My hubby finally goes to see the Surgeon who did his neck fusions 5 weeks ago. He is still in a lot of pain. I can usually tell he's going to have a bad day if he is sleeping in his recliner when I wake up. He is very uncomfortable laying down.

Good morning All! Supposed to be a nice mild day, I'll take that. I am sooo sore and tired this morning. I think I'll take a break from my routine and just take the dogs for a good walk this evening. Must remember that I am not a machine (yet)! Likely a quiet day at work which will give me time to get started on my next assignment.

Eats today:

B - 3 BLT boats with light mayo

S - Skyr yogurt with blueberries

L - 4 oz chicken with sautéed veg, 1 tbsp. of cheese

S - 4 slices deli turkey

D - light crusted herb haddock with some tomato slices, bit of coleslaw

Total Cal 951, carbs 58, protein 105

Have a great day!

Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!

Hi!

I'm moving from lurking here to posting as my WLS is only a week out!

I'm still struggling with the desire to hold food funerals! Tonight I'm cooking for a friend for the first time, and want to show off, but at the same time I know he had WLS a few years ago, so trying to cook SMART!

B- missed this but had a piece of dark chocolate

L- packed chicken but my roommate brought me a McDonalds fish sandwich which I ate without the bun, and 2 oz. of french fries, which I dipped into mayo. I know I know!!!

AS- smoked almonds

D- I'm planning on grilling a couple of chicken breasts, and serving them under steamed veggies (red and yellow bell pepper, mushrooms, snow peas) then adding a slice of low-fat cheese on top and melting it under the broiler. Not fancy but it will look pretty! I'm also going to roast some cauliflower and broccoli and toss it with some horseradish sauce (LF yogurt and grated horseradish).

I'm super excited for you!!!!! Don't feel bad about the food funerals! Most of us probably went through that. After your surgery those feelings will go away.

I don't really have a plan yet. (I know, it's after lunch already!)

I had coffee with cream and a scoop of protein. (30g)

Breakfast was 2 scrambled eggs.

Lunch was mexican leftovers from last night. Chicken, chorizo, melted cheese, refried beans.

I'll have a drinkable Skyr for a snack later, and a handful of pecans at some point.

Dinner is TBD, whatever I make for the family will involve protein, I'll have the protein part.

I'm trying to keep my calories up, but I forget to eat because I stay so busy. I'm having trouble with nausea lately and I'm struggling.

My surgeon and nutritionist tell me nausea is my new hunger. It sneaks up on me when I go too long without eating. If I don't eat often enough I get too nauseous to eat. It's awful.

I've never heard that before but I can believe it. I've noticed I feel strange and a little shaky if I don't even often enough. My body is use to numerous snacks all day.

Did you have a "FULL" sign? I've heard of LW's that get a runny nose and then others like me who hiccup. I use to hiccup if I just took one bite to much. I don't get the hiccups very often now but I'm pretty careful not to over eat.

I haven't noticed a tell yet. It's very likely that I just eat small portions, I tend to stick with 1/2 cup servings. I can eat around 3 oz of beef, chicken or pork at a time. I'm the same as you with eating all day. I try not to go more than 3-4 hours without something that has protein. Even if I'm not hungry, I still have a drink with protein.

I have, on occasion, eaten too much. If I'm in a restaurant and not paying attention, I get a terrible full sensation in my chest and horrible nausea for what feels like hours. It doesn't happen often, but when it does... yuk.
