Calorie Countdown - Thursday, crap I need to finish cleaning! What are you eating?

Good morning/afternoon.  I hope everyone is eating HEALTHY protein-filled meals today.  I am losing a lot of weight this month, so I sort of don't want to mess with success, but as per surgeon's suggestions, I am going to try for 100g of protein today and 1200-1400calories.  I've gotten there before, but its still kind of an intimidating goal to me because I am nervous about not losing, or even gaining.  Who knows what my metabolism is like now?  Well, we shall see.  At least now when I get hungry at night I can have a small meal planned.  Here is my plan -  B - 16oz mootopia, 1 packet nsa cib S - 16oz vanilla soy plus fiber L - roasted chicken breast (3oz) and 1/2c edamame S - fiber one bar D - thin center cut pork chop, 1/2c nsa apple sauce S - fiber one yogurt Calories - 1170 Fat - 36g Carbs - 117 Fiber - 31 Protein - 107

Another beautiful day on tap here! I too hope everyone is making healthy choices. You might be surprised at how you can lose more by eating more Jen, hope it goes well for you. Pre B - SF NF Eggnog Latte B - 1 cup Greek yogurt w/black and blue berries added in - no idea why but less than 2 hours later my BS dropped to 54! S - turkey jerky, 1/8 cup homemade trail mix S - SF NF iced carmel latte - homemade L - going to Dock Side Grill with coworkers - so broiled fish of some sort and salad S - Kay's Naturals something or other D - chicken salad on romaine leaves (instead of bread for me) with tomato slices S - ?

So.....I weighed this morning.  Up 6 pounds.  I know it's not physically possible, but it still sucks.  It's water and I feel full.  I'm going to work on adding the veggies this week to get this gut moving.  Sluggish is the appropriate word that I can conjure up to describe how my tummy feels. B- SBD protein bar S-1/2 serving planters healthy heart nuts L-Salad with chicken & vinagrette D-Fish and grilled squash S-unjury protein shake

Good afternoon QT,  I woke up and felt great and sunny and all was good and on my way to work I grabbed my son a very AHUM healthy rice crispy treat lol   (we were very late) and I proceeded to take not one but 3 bites of the poor kids rice crispy treat......It didn't make me sick they were small bites but it still makes me angry that I have no control.......so on to a better rest of the day.... Besides the rice crispy treat i had  B=Coffee w' skim milk  Protein shake......... L=beef stew  D=going to a friends for a BBQ so I have no idea... 

I'm working on the healthy protein-filled meals today, after being on vacation for a week.  I ate pretty well while I was on vacation, but definitely ate more calories and exercised less.  Of course, that leads to additional pounds on the scale, but I know what I need to do to lose them, so I'm happily back to my normal routine.  (Sometimes being a little OCD is a good thing...).   Anyway, here's what's on my plate today edited 5/30: Breakfast:  1 c. 1% milk in my coffee, 1 packet Quaker Weight Control oatmeal Snack #1:  1 c. low-fat cottage cheese, 4 tbsp. SF preserves, 2 diced strawberries, ~1/4 c. blueberries Snack #2:  1 medium banana [workout #1:  upper body strength training, core work] Lunch:  Lean Cuisine thai-style chicken Snack #3:  6 oz.

For 5 weeks your calorie count is fine. Remember this is your prime time to lose as much weight as possible. As you progress you'll eat more and add more calories per day.  Your protein levels are outstanding for a new post-op!

Thanks Jan. I just don't want to screw up my system

You are doing PERFECTLY and you are getting more calories and protein in than I could that early out.  Don't worry! You are going to see fantastic results.
