week 3 post op- small loss

Apr 13, 2009

I had a tiny loss of 0.4 lb overall for the week. I won't freak till next week but I wanted to fill this out that jenstock1970 posted on the discussion board for me.
stallbreaker checklist:

• Are you tracking your food intake in a food journal? Is it on track?  YES, I think I'm mainly watching protein and calores are between 450 and 650
• Are you tracking every single calorie that passed your lips? (flavored water, vitamins, gum, single pieces of candy) Even if you aren't keeping track of calories, your body is! - Yes
• Are you eating too MANY calories? ??? I'm I?
• Are you eating too FEW calories? ?? not sure
• Are you taking in enough protein? 80-100g/day -- NO 45-58gm/day so far trying to get to 60 but must have at least 50
• Are the fats you're eating healthy (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated) - no
• Are you eating too many simple carbs (bread, pasta, potatoes, sugar, pasta, rice) -NONE
• Are you eating enough fruits and veggies? - Small amounts- very limited like an once if that a day
• Are you drinking enough water (water flushes fat toxins from our body)? - NO, I'm trying
• Are you grazing? - NO
• Are you eating the right quantity? Measuring and weighting foods? YES
• Are you eating on a schedule? - Not really but kind of
• Are you exercising hard enough? Long enough? Fast enough? - 4 weeks post op and mostly walking
• When's the last time you changed your exercise routine? (The body becomes efficient and doesn't burn as many calories after we've done the same thing for 4-6 weeks) - going hiking now started last week
• Have you added weight training to your workouts? (muscle burns more calories at rest) - not yet, can't
• Are you taking all your vitamins and supplements? yes
• Have you started taking any new medications that might promote weight gain? NO
• Have you taken your measurements (you might be losing inches even if the scale isn't moving)? Yes they have changed
