Good morning everyone. Well I didn't get posting at all yesterday since my dentist had a cancellation Monday afternoon and I went to have my one wisdom tooth pulled spur of the moment rather than wait until mid April when I was scheduled. Needless to say I wasn't doing too much eating.
QOTD: Hmmm I would have to say a good stew is my favorite crockpot food.... then chili is a close 2nd. I really don't have recipes for anything I do in the crockpot, I just throw in what my taste buds are shouting for and of course lots of spices. My mother was a by the book cook and didn't even have a spice rack so always comments that when I cook it tastes better than hers ;) Pulled pork is a great crockpot meal CC. Go for it!
My menu is boring since I have to do liquids and puree for a couple days.
B - protein shake
S- egg bite
L - cream of mushroom soup
S - SF pudding with powdered skim milk powder
D - either more soup or possibly canned chicken with some Swiss Chalet sauce
S - few swigs of protein shake
Good morning everyone. Late start for me today. DH is working from home today, which means I have to tiptoe around the house because he's on conference calls. Didn't end up going out last night because the fur baby wasn't feeling well.
Today I am going to the gym and then I have to make some calls. My workout at the gym yesterday has me sore all over. It's a good reminder to get back on track.
QOTD: Fav crockpot recipes please? Yesterday I bought a pork blade roast that is already to throw in the crockpot for carnitas. It came with the spice and everything for only $5. Gotta love the weekly meat sale. So I'm thinking pulled pork, with avocado, sour cream, and maybe some salsa on top.
The eats today at 4 years 8 months post-op are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee
L. First meal of the day. Scrambled egg with a little melted cheese, bacon, 1/2 of a spicy Italian sausage, small half of an avocado and fresh salsa.
D. Pho with shrimp, greens, shiritaki noodles. SF/LC French toast muffin with a few raspberries, a dollop of whipped cream
S. Hot cocoa before bed.
Today's totals: 1123, Carbs 27, Fibre 11, Fat 85, Prot. 65
1 hour at the gym
Have a great day everyone and remember to smile at a stranger.

Hello All.
It turned into such a beautiful day here, I went for an extra walk when I got home with pooch. I'm just coming up to my 5 month post surgery, and still find it amazing how quickly I feel full. I learned the hard way the signs that I'd eaten enough and that one time having to purge really made me be aware of my body signs (pre surgery I would just eat my whole meal, seconds, dessert, whatever and enjoy the stuffed feeling).
I still find I eat between 750 to 900 calories each day - I know everyone is different, and as I am still losing weight at a good pace and my hospital support staff all are happy with my food journals/weight loss I guess this is what works for me.
Reading what others post, I guess as time goes on I will adjust as needed - my goal weight is 165, so I never plan to be skinny just at a healthy weight that works for me. Actually, I'm amazed at the compliments I'm already getting at 220 pounds and I'm out of the bigger plus size clothes, wearing size 16/18 pants and xl tops - so exciting!
Here is my food plan for today is:
B: 1 hard boiled egg & decaf coffee with milk (1/2 hr after egg)
S: sugar free source yogurt with 3 strawberries
L: 1 protein bread (9 g protein - and taste great) with my homemade chicken salad
S: sugar free pudding (because I just really wanted it today!)
D: plan to have homemade chili (3/4 cup and still takes about 20 -25 minutes to eat)
S: plan to have Protein shake ( maybe just 1/2, will see how I feel)
Plus lots of water and all vitamins except evening ones to still take.
Tomorrow is Spring - so excellent!
Sunny
Hello there,
Same thing happened to me, actually the alarm code is one of the first thing that really alarmed me and then my passwords for my computer, my brain would just go blank, it would take me hours to remember things.
then I found out my ferritin was a low 2!! my b12 was low in the 200's and my other vitamins as well.
took me a long time to level out and I am still struggling with my ferritin after years of infusions
check your vitamins and take care of it now
good luck!!
Good morning! I was so tired yesterday too CC but I didn't sleep worth a hoot. Up every hour to the loo, and then awake from 2:08 until after 3:30. Dosed off after that but not great. My best time was from 5 - 5:50 after my Trucker got up! My Garmin told me I slept 3 hrs 37 mins, and only 1 hr and 3 of that was a deep sleep. Going to be another long day!
GF - 1 small banana with 1 tbsp PB
B - 2 eggs scrambled, slice of cheese
S - not likely needed because my breakfast has been delayed - but I have Skyr with raspberries
L - left over chicken stir fry - he made this one a little zingy last night!!
S - beef stick, 30 gr extra old cheese
D - bunless cheeseburger, with tomato, onion, mustard, pickle
I find I often don't end up eating my snacks just because my day gets sidetracked a little.
QOTD - no not usually hungry - I have a coffee and then go to the gym - I eat my breakfast once I get to work - so up at 5:50 and breakfast around 8:30 - 9:00 I don't think I could wait till lunch.
Have a great date night whatever you decide to do!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Good morning everyone. I must have been beat yesterday, because I went to bed early and slept for 11 hours. Maybe my body just wants to hibernate until winter is over.
Today I'm running some errands in the morning, going to the gym, and then I have appointments at the University. Tonight DH and I are either going out for dinner and to listen to live music, or going to the VIP movie theatre and having dinner there.
QOTD: Do you wake up hungry in the morning? I usually am not hungry until noon, so I am giving intermittent fasting a try. The hard part is to not eat late in the evening.
The eats today at 4 years 8 months post-op are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee. All decaf
L. I will fast until lunch, so my first meal will be: scrambled egg, half of a spicy Italian sausage, 1 slice bacon, mushrooms, half of an avocado, fresh salsa. One teaspoon Omega 3 oil.
D. Either slow roasted duck wings and salad, or cobb salad at the movie.
S. Hot cocoa SF before bed.
The totals without dinner are: 425 cal. Carbs 11, Fat 37, Prot. 18 Fibre 6
Exercise 1 hour at the gym.
Have a great day everyone.

You are absolutely right. I am derailing myself because there is no damn answer other than I am derailing myself. I am up 10 pounds from my lowest of 161. I have to take accountability for my actions!!! Thank you for your kind answer. You are not being judgey. You are being truthful. I appreciate it.
