Doesn't sound like you are eating too much to me. But that my weight loss is slow at best. Hopefully someone can help you soon

Am i eating too much?

I am 6wks post op & after losing just 2lbs in 2 weeks i'm wondering if i'm having too much.

I am struggling with fluids, i'm having about 1 - 1.25 litres a day of NAS juice.

I'm having either a scrambled egg or a weetabix & lots of ss milk for breakfast.

Lunch is either half a tin of lentil soup or baked beans & lf laughing cow cheese mixed together.

Dinner is either quorn chicken or mince with some vegetables & gravy.

I'm also having 2 protein shakes a day. Its protein powder (1 scoop) made up with 150ml of milk. I have one in the morning & one in the afternoon.

If i didn't have the protein shakes i don't think i'd be able to get anywhere near the recommended daily intake for protein. I am feeling a bit better for taking them, i was exhausted before starting on them but have a bit more energy now.

Sounds bout right at thta stage you don't mention having any fruit?? strawberries are lovely at the moment as are grapes, bananas and pears all fresh but you can blend them if you wish. YOu could even make a smoothie with them and your milk. xx

I tried so so hard to make sure my protein was high and when I saw the dietician at my six week check she saud to start to reduce it slightly and bring in fruits and vegetable which would not only help toileting issues (sorry!) But also boost my weight loss and boy was she righ try mixing more in to give yourself more balance, she warned a high protein intake could reduce my losses xx

That's interesting , I rarely eat fruit cos like you I concentrate on protein . My losses need a perk up so shall try that

 

[Nanny Og]

Today all has stayed put

B 3/4 weetabix & Skimmed milk
L 3 strips chicken, 1/2oz lf cheese, salad leaves
D stew, cauliflower & 1/4 potato croquette

I won't have stew again. Although it was really tender I just didn't enjoy it.

I'll probably have porridge later

Drinks have been 4 cups peppermint tea, 2 cups NAS orange squash 1 cup normal tea

Grilled burger, low fat cheese slice, spoon of beans, spoon of macaroni cheese.

Gonna eat some veg later with some protein and have a hot options hot chocolate.

This weight loss journey is so confusing :sigh: :giggle:

I was advised to have a minimum of 60g of protein a day & i think i'm getting about 60 - 65g maybe.
I thought i was doing the right thing
I haven't been able to speak to the dietitian for the last 2 weeks when shes called. I did leave a list of questions for my husband to ask her but she refused to answer them
He sorts out all my meals so it would have been helpful for her to answer them.
Hopefully i'll get to speak to her tomorrow.

I read about someone dumping after having a smoothie which has kinda scared me. Also i felt unwell after my husband made my NAS juice too sweet so i'm scared to eat fruit as its sweet

 

[Yvessa]

Unfortunately, we're all so different. I can eat anything although as I'm still mushy stage everything is cooked to within in inch of melting. But I have not had a moment's difficulty with food. The advice we get is also different. I guess we just have to plod along and hope for the best.

Hope I haven't upset folks, can only say what my dietician said to me and since doing it my losses have increased, my team don't allow salad until three months plus so I'm really looking forward to having some, in the meantime I steam my baby veg slightly and am into spinach at the moment, all I can say is try it and see what u think but check with your team if u gave any worries

Breakfast - some fresh pineapple and a ww fromage frais ate about 3/4 of it
Lunch - half a yellow pepper stuffed with mince, onions, garlic, basil and tomatoes with four pieces baby corn
Dinner - leftover mincemeat with some steamed spinach, one asparagus spear, two pieces baby sweetcorn

Xxx
