Crossing that bridge...stall?! OMGoodness...there's that word some hate or skip....

Yesterday, I went to a support group meeting at my weight management center.  While I was there, I weighed myself.  All along, I've been losing like mad...in my opinion.  Last night, I was a little less than a pound off since the last surgeon appointment about a week ago.  For a brief moment, I was let down.  Then, it occurred to me that this is better than I've done in the last 15 plus years!  I've never, in a healthy way, lost such a great amount of weight in such a short time.  I had to refocus and know that this is a "tool" to assist in my new life, not a way to melt away the pounds.  Also, I've changed the way I was taking in my foods, as per suggested by my NUT, and I just don't think her recommendation was right for me.  I seem to have less energy since changing.  True, my blood sugars are better, but who's to say they wouldn't have adjusted with my previous intake habits. 
Prior to my visit with her, I was having a coffee protein drink in the morning.  A snack of a dense protein a few hours after. Then after being able to drink, I'd do my exercise and follow that with a protein drink.  My NUT thought that I was taking in too much protein at the beginning of my day and then I'd be hungry later in the early evening (between lunch and dinner, actually) and often, I'd eat a small snack of protein.  I'd have my lunch, then dinner and then a small amount of turkey or cheese stick at bedtime to keep my sugar stable.
After adding the bedtime snack, my fasting sugars started to be so much better.  So, I decided to keep that up.  Anyway, I started skipping the dense protein after my morning coffee, moving it to an earlier lunch.  I'm still hungry as I was before, but I've tried to drink broth, hot teas, whatever I can do avoid eating...as per instructed by my NUT.  I'm thinking I NEED the protein early AND maybe later in between lunch and dinner?  I skipped my exercise the last two days, because....well, no real excuse...just because I don't feel like it.  I'm tired. 
Today, I've gone back to my old routine and honestly, whether it's in my head or not, I feel better!  I enjoy that coffee drink and then egg white veggie omelet or other dense protein early in the day.  So, if it works for me, I'll stick to it.  We'll see how the weight loss goes, too!

I am only 6 months post bypass. But girl I hear u 

 I was doing great and than my nut was like yours . Saying how I was not getting enough carbs or protein. He upped my protein to 80 to 100 grams an wants 60 of carbs!  Well I tried that an not only did my sugars go threw the roof but my poor tummy hurt sooo bad.

Like you I have gone back to what works for me. Very low carb and i am trying for the 80 grm of protien each day (because of HUGE hair loss.) I have read it here a million times we have to do what is rite for OUR bodies. watch our levels and how we FEEL.  We have exceptional bodies and have made the life choice to be healthy.  Some times we just gotta do whats best for us and go on. Keep us posted I for 1 will be interested in how things are going for you.

Will do!  I already feel better today after going back to my routine.  I try to get at least 80 grams of protein, too. I'm so not wanting to lose any more hair than I lost with my thyroid cancer bout.  But, if I do...I may just shave my head and go bald or wear a wig!  Who knows!  It could be worse...
