Soooo Sloooow

Jul 08, 2009

My weight loss is still going excruciatingly slow.  I am still losing weight but just a few - five pounds a month.  I couldn't understand because I am still obsessive about my food intake and still exercising.  So I started a food journal (at dailyplate.com) and found I was getting less than 1200 calories a day and 75-90 grams of protein but according to the "Nut" at my surgeons office the 100 grams of carbs I am getting a day is too much (she said I should only be getting 50).

The problem is obviously the protein bars I depend on.  I had been warned by some experienced WLSers that protein bars are a trap that a lot people fall into but since I don't like any protein shakes and I was worried about not getting enough protein I started using them anyway.

Now I need to find a lower carb option to replace the 25 grams of protein a day I get from my bars.  I am going to try adding another piece of fish to my lunch (17g of protein & only 1 carb) but that is a lot of food for one sitting.  I don't like yogurt or cottage cheese.  Maybe I will try making some SF pudding and adding some protein?

Of course the other problem is I already have trouble with my glucose dropping if I am not on my normal eating schedule (weekends and such) and so I am a little scared to make adjustments to my diet.
