I found my protein shakes are less sweeter with the unsweetened almond milk. With ff cows milk I had to water down my shakes because they were much too sweet.

i do add miralax every few days to my shake. It helps a little.

B:Tuna steak salad left over from dinner last night

S:Power crunch bar

L:Salad with tuna and some cold cuts

D:Turkey Chili

S:hot cocoa

Water on target vitamins are almost all done. Exercise I need to get my butt up and moving.

I love, love, love tuna steak. I made one last week for dinner for the first time, and my husband thought it was great! If it were just for me, I would have left it rare in the middle, but he's completely anti-sushi so I had to cook it through, but it was still delish. I made a lemon-butter-caper sauce to moisten it, and it was wonderful.

(Edited to update my food amounts, since DCGirl is putting me to shame with her protein numbers! )

Hello, folks! I'm a little late to the party today, but I'll post here for accountability anyway. Good to see everyone, and thanks for all the great ideas for future meals! Today's a very unhungry day for me, I'm actually having to force down what I need to eat. I'm sure I'll miss times like this someday, but in the meantime it makes keeping up with protein a pain.

B: 1/2 C cottage cheese

L: 10 slices pepperoni

D: Crepeomelet: 1 jumbo egg, 1tbsp 2% milk, 2 ounces sirloin steak, 1 tbsp chopped shallots, 4 grape tomatoes, 2 asparagus spears, 1 Laughing Cow light cheese wedge and 2 tbsps mild picante sauce.

S: Jay Robb vanilla protein shake w/ 1.5 scoops

This will bring me to 610 calories, 75 protein, 15 carbs, 27 fat, and 8 sugar. A little shy on the protein from my goal, so I may throw in a slice of deli turkey or something if I can stomach it. (Do we have to say "If I can pouch it" now? That would sound so weird! )

V, W, E: Yeah, yeah, and not really. 

Um yum!  That omelette sounds pretty amazing!  YUM again.  I love shallots.  Damn now I want an omelette for dinner.  But I brought my leftover turkey taco meat to take to friends for dinner.  They're awesome and were like "We are making soup but you can bring something if you want".  Since I hate to waste, I figured might as well.  They won't think I am weird or anything.  Great job on the numbers today!  I just had a decaf americano with a "spot of hot milk" (I was with a sexy Italian Scotsman and when he ordered that I followed suit) so I am going to delete the shake anyway so now I am at 87 g protein, 23 fat and 26 carbs.  DAMN MILK!  lol

Here's to drinking an Americano with a sexy Italian Scotsman! Damn, I want your life now. (Just kidding, I wouldn't trade my husbeast!)

1 month and 3 days post op  Weight loss has been stalled for almost 2 weeks

Your Food Diary For:

Regina, I am so sorry!  That must be so frustrating :(  I have seen other people post about stalls and everyone's advice is always "stay the course, eat your protein, eat low carb, and move move move...and eventually the scale will move".  I bet you will see no loss and then suddenly drop 8 in a couple of days.  I know how frustrating it is.  It's like last week when I went on vacation and abstained from anything off plan and lost a pound.  But the scale then went down 2 and today it was up 1.  But I know I am doing what I am supposed to so I will keep plugging along.  Keep with it girl!  You got this!

I am not overly freaked out about the scale.... YET!  I do know that either I am getting shorter (which would be bad I am only 5'3") or my body is changing.  My jeans are getting longer everyday!  Thank GOD I don't mind looking like a 12 year old with rolled jeans and Vans LOL

Regina, I stalled for ten days when I was three weeks out, so just about the same time frame as you. I almost drove my poor husband crazy! "OMG! I still haven't lost anything! I'm eating 500 calories a day, HOW can I NOT be losing anything?! ^&@#*!" And then the weight loss started again. So hang in there, it WILL happen for you too!
