So I have been feeling like I've been at the same weight for a bit now.  I am trying to exercise 3 times a week at least, whether thats going to the gym or doing my elliptical at home, going for a hike, etc.  When I go to the gym I do 20 minutes on the elliptical and 20 minutes of machine weights.  If I'm just doing the elliptical, its usually 30-45 minutes.  I have been slacking this week, but I am going to see a PT for the first time Friday morning, and have a long hike scheduled for Saturday.

Here is an example of a "day in my pouch."  Would anyone change anything they see in my diet?  My water is typically 80-100 ounces per day.  Typically for dinner I've been trying to incorporate a meat and veggie (like spinach) instead of the shake, but I have an appointment tonight.

HI, what it the name of that meal planner you are using, I need that for sure.  I am almost two weeks post op.

I use My Fitness Pal religiously.  It is awesome.  You can customize your daily goals if you want to, I just don't pay attention to their goals and know what mine are.

Hi! 

My surgery date was June 30th and as of yesterday my nutritionist ( who is Bariatric certified) upped my calories to 1000 per day.

I have to get 60-80 protein per day, around 100 grams carbs ( i eat no bread of any kind) and 28 fat grams per day.

If I had to guess,  I think your calorie intake is way too low, especially since you are exercising so much.  I barely make it to 900 calories

per day but I really try.  Maybe consider seeing a nutritionist (?) 

Hope that helps!

1000 calories seems like so much!  I freak out a little when I get close to 800.  But its valid advice.  Maybe I need to up my calories on my workout days?

My take is that you are not getting enought protein.  My minimum requirement has been 80 grams per day.

Are you allowed to eat crackers?  I am almost 6 months out and the only crackers I can eat is Melba toast.  How about eating dome type of neat protein, tuna, chicken,etc.

I am "allowed" to eat anything as of six weeks out.  I struggled with adding meats in, but am advancing slowly now.  Cheese has always been my go to, but I am starting to add chicken salad etc.  

Maybe I do need to up my calories.  I met with my NUT Monday, and she thought I was doing well but should work on advancing more. My goal is 60g of protein a day and 60 ounces of water.

I ate crackers. I made goal. If I eat crackers now... I want more crackers!!  LOL  I miss the days I was trying to fill up the pouch and make it to a calorie goal!

My NUT says 800 calories should be your minimum.  I would just add some lunch meat with your snacks!
