[los in it]

Day 199 ( day 2 LSD)
1X Weetabix milk
L- 1x ham and cheese toastie water to drink
D--tuna with 2x egg size potatoes chopped onion water to drink
Snack- 1x banana water to drink
don't feel hungry like I thought I can only hope im doing it right or that feeling will kick in later and this is just the "honeymoon " phrase!
I keep questioning EVERYTHING that goes in my mouth is it the right thing?
is the portion too big?
am I getting it wrong?
I must really stop worrying so much and believe im doing ok I guess it will take me a couple more days to get it bang on
thanks Stacey and willow and everyone else for the kind comments

Hi max!! Nice to see you!! My photos are in my album which you are welcome to look at! Well done with your diet you have done so well!

 

[los in it]

just back from work then the shops after reading the LSD diet sheet I put together a shopping list tell me if I have got it right!
2x fresh cod loin (to be cut up into 4 portions )
2x plain boiled ready to eat rice(lazy I know!)
2x pasta sauce
1x large bag of ready cut cauliflower & broccoli & carrot
1x large hand of bananas
1x bag of small potatoes
1x chrisp bread
1x small block of cheese
the plan is to have a portion of fish with either rice and veg or mash and veg or pasta with sauce and a sprinkle of cheese on top and will buy salad stuff when I need it and the bananas as a daily snack, the ready rice was so that I can come in straight from work and sort my evening meal out and not give myself time to eat something I shouldn't do.
does that list look ok to anyone?
sorry to be such a worrier I just want to get it right
tune in later for my regular food log in !!

Hi Max lovely to 'see' you its a brave step, it took me ages too
I cant comment too much on your shopping, not sure what you LRD diet is?? if its just a 1000 cals a day it sounds ok to me............although i would probably loose the pasta sauce and the cheese ......... add in a yogurt maybe and an apple......... don't forget nas jelly (it was a life saver for me) have they not given you a list of foods to eat? If it is 1000 cals download yourself myfitnesspal get out those kitchen scales , measure everything and list it so you know exactly what your eating

I'm wishing you all the very best hunni, its been a long time coming now your on the home stretch x x x x xx

 

[los in it]

Hi crystal
thanks for getting back the leaflet I got for this LSD is for 1000 cal a day and does include the pasta sauce but only a few spoons and cheese only the size of a matchbox , I feel so much better having done this as I can see "a meal" now weighting / portioning food out dont bother me got some weetabix and porridge in a pot so easy peasy
see everyone later

 

[los in it]

Day 200!!!(day 3 of LSD)
B- 2x ryvita with pre sliced cheese water to drink
L- ham salad sandwich water to drink
D- portion of cod loin, baked in the oven and 3x spoons of mash 2x broccoli stems and 2x spoons of sliced carrots water to drink
Snack - 1x banana
im sure you can see that I have cut my portions down and I don't feel hungry I was expecting to feel that way but no real signs of that yet I should be happy in not feeling half starved and experiencing the pangs I hear others talk about on here instead im thinking am I doing it wrong?
it is early days so I guess it will happen when I least want it to !
night guys

Your doing brilliant Los.. Is this you now started on the LSD that your team has given you?
I'm just a bit concerned about the rice... If your diet sheet says yes it is allowed then that's fine I just find it surprising but every provider has different rules etc so enough said on that but I do worry that you have bought full portions of pre prepared rice and are using only part of it and are maybe storing the rest for later? .. If you are don't as rice is one of the worst foods to do that with as it contains certain food poisoning toxins that can rapidly multiply. Sorry if I sound a worry wart but just don't want to see your scheduled surgery go down the swany because you have contracted food poisoning. Apologies in advance if I'm wide off the mark xxx

 

[los in it]

Hi Frankie
thank you for your kind remarks
yes it does seem like everyone gets different diet advise mine allows me to have rice but only 2x table spoons of it
what ive done ive borrowed my friend`s vaccum pack thing where you can portion food out in a bag and it seals it and takes any air out of it for you so it remains fresh ive done the rice into 3x portions and the fish into 4 portions the plan been to get either a portion of rice /fish /pasta sauce portion out all having been weighted and portioned out for my evening meal
I know the horror of having food poisoning due to rice it was awful the restaurant got a proper telling off about 20 people were ill I thought it was the chicken but the doctors said it was deffo the rice spent a week at home proper sick. took me a long time to eat rice again when out
thanks again for your concern

[femfrankie]

4lbs is great!!

I still yet to weight myself. My usual day for scales is wednesday. But i was weighted on my pre op assesment, so i know official weight before starting pre op diet. So shall see how much i will drop before the surgery. curious!

 

[Stacey83]

Amazing! 4lb is fantastic! You're doing so well, I love the sound of a vacuum pack machine and your pre measured home made ready meals! Such a great idea!
I had some cod for lunch today, was at a food festival and had a tiny tasting portion of grilled cod with red pepper and fennel garnish and a yoghurt I packed from home, it worked fine and I didn't feel like I was missing out at all ;-)
