Aww, I though I was doing fairly well with the protein, Neen. :-(
I did a special protein-for-veggies shop last week and stocked up on tuna, cottage cheese, hummous, salmon fillets etc.
Defo need more veggies though. It's just after the protein bit I find it hard to eat the carbs even sometimes, so I thought to get more calories in I should go for the carbs over the veg, iyswim.
How many cals do you aim for each day? X

Evening all - thanks to those of you that have read and commented on my diary. I feel like it's helping already.

Today I've had:
Cereal Bar (89)
W/W Crackers (74 for 4) with chicken and sweetcorn filler (142)
Babybel - mmm Emmental one, lovely (63)
Chicken Kiev (373) with sweetcorn (105)
2 Caramel biscuits (140)

So that's a total of 986 plus milk in drinks. Might have a hot chocolate later but that's only another 42!

No exercise today but might try for tomorrow.

Feels good to have had a day where I've not lost control. Hope everyone else is doing okay.

sorry i know this place isnt for questions but can i ask one teeny tiny one?
Q. u guys dont eat much...do u get hungry? as in is it like u r on a constant diet and trying really hard not to eat or is this comfortable iykwim?

me:
B: 2 weetabix and milk
L: 1 weetabix and milk then crisps
D: nandos mixed salad with chicken (extra hot!) and spicy rice

bad times: 2 stick of kitkat and maltesers! noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

as u can see a TERRIBLE pre op day. im struggling!!!

 

[Neen]

For me personally, yes definately get hungry!
I have pretty good restriction but still have the old cravings!
I have learnt what foods fill me up for the best calorie and nutritional variant (if you get what I mean) and so what I choose now , I know will fill me up and I rarely snack between meals.
Best not to leave too long between meals so you are not at risk of eating something you shouldn't or grazing on junk.

 

[magicbeans]

oh so ur 'dieting'..its not a case of being comfortable and full and making the right choices..u do have to make the sacrifice.

wheres the magic wand..i need that!!

 

[Neen]

I'm dieting in that I still have that complusive eating disorder / emotional eating issue in the background.
I have tried various times to drop the calorie counting and just wing it, and as much as I wish I could, every time i try , I cannot yet lose weight & go by instinct at the same time.
I can definately maintain my weight which I did all last year, so later on I think, when I stop losing and reach a weight I feel is good for me, then I feel confident I can maintain that this time with the band in place.
But as I still have to lose a lot before I am healthy, I need to have the control and discipline and way of keeping track that calorie counting gives at the moment x

Magic - hi hun x

We do feel hungry, at least our head does, with my restriction, I know my tummy is full. But sometimes I fancy something that I know I don`t need.....like on Saturday at work coming towards the end of my shift, I was tired and felt I needed something to `boost` me.

So I had a bag of crisps, I was`nt really hungry more my head than anything - think I was just fed up!

With having the band and the band fills following, you`re never going to discover that everything runs smoothly without any hitches. You may feel that you have enough restriction, and know you don`t need anything, but there are times when its your head getting you into trouble - not your belly!


So are we on a diet? - I guess we all are to a degree - on a diet for life if we don`t want to fall into the old traps of the past. Eat healthy, keep active, the magic will then work!

thanks neen and kitkat. being on the pre op diet im not in the best of moods and fed up of feeling hungry and having to stay away. i know old habits have to change but good to get an honest view of the band. u do have to work at it but i guess u arent as hungry as u would be if ud had ryvita and satsumas for lunch with a normal stomach?!
