Thanks Shelley!

Today I have a small camping side plate now for every meal. I dont feel like i am missing out at all. ?In fact I feel better and I am convinced I was eating too much.

Todays Menu:

Breakfast - 1 egg omlette, 3 cherry tomatoes, 2 small slices asda smart price bacon (cooked with fry light and water) very tasty!
Lunch - Left over dinner - chicken breast and salad. 1/4 pitta bread. 2 tsp extra light mayo
Dinner - Chicken breast, broccoli and cauliflower, cheese sauce.

Snacks - 1 slice cantaloupe melon

Drinks - 1 small glass water, 3 cups of tea, 1 large glass fresh exotic juice with water.

Totals (approx): 680cals, 53g protein, 52g carbs (got it down! whoop) 30g fat :( its up


Took kids swimming for an hour today, I did 15mins not stop widths and played the rest. Also bought a mountain bike today! Its been 10 yrs since I've been on one but what the hell lol.

Sounds good. I'd love to ride a bike again but I've never had good balance lol. Fat wise I put my setting so I can see the sat fat because our bodies need healthy fats so I allow myself around 27grams on fat a day but a max of 17g of sat fat so 30 isn't too bad at all.

Breakfast - Boiled egg. Took me a while to eat it.
Lunch - Pork Medallion and broccoli
Dinner - Pork Medallion, cauliflower and lf cheese sauce.
Snacks - Going to have some ww tomato soup.

My calories are pretty low as I need to do some shopping but my protein is great today :)
 
Thanks Chrisa. I normally have fruit but cupboards are bare today lol. Big shop tomorrow :)

Been to NGH today (two weeks early) as been struggling to eat crispy mushy stuff. Everything feels like sticking in esophagus so on fluids for time being. Had a barium swallow but they couldnt find anything? Hmmmm dunno what is going on
 
Ooooooh I shall look up my fitness pal!
Yesterday awful day everything came back up!
Today!!

B 1 rich tea

L. Sushi box with wasabi and it was very filling and yum!

D 3 slices of chicken breast in nandos peri peri sauce very hot and a table spoon of roasted vegetable Cous Cous

3 teas litre of water 1/2 a can of diet red bull I know tut tut but been very tired! 1 skinny latte from costa?

Hope your all good xxx
 
Ok found my diet pal my calories where 1100 ooops protein 80g carbs 110 and fat 43
So what should I be aiming for?? I know protein was 80g so was pleased with that eating a lot less calories a day than before! But what is more important??? Calories??? Carbs?? Protein?? Fat??
Think I need to re adjust this to help me more and incorporate more exercise x
 
I am for 800 cals but mist days end up around the 600 mark to be honest, my meals are pretty much protein plus veg so I font worry too much about that side of it xx
 
Those number all sound good to me. Some people say we shouldn't go below 1200 calories but I find I can't eat more than around 800 a day but that isn't a sustainable amount of calories for long term nutrition so will up them later on when I've got a good amount of weight off if I can manage more, you should go with what is comfortable for you and probably why they tell us not to count calories as it does lead to worry. 80g's of protein is fantastic, the fat and carbs sound fine to me. We need healthy fats but watch out for saturated fat as that's the stuff that really clogs our arteries so I try to aim for less than 17g's of sat fat a day. Hope that's helps :) x


On another note my hair started falling out today, quite a lot in the shower. A couple of weeks early by what my provider said but then again if you factor in the pre op diet too... I'm going to make sure I hit my protein targets and try and increase my iron intake as well as just generally try to stay well rounded nutrition wise but has anyone got any more tips? I'm lucky I have thick hair to start with but I don't want it to get too thin :(

I am losing loads as well Shelley I am blessed to have a massive amount of hair that is almost Afro like when let lose! I was told it would happen to keep vitamins up and protein!

Looking at my Calorie intake I am pleased really to be as fat as I started I was eating quadruple that amount and some so realistically I will still lose just not as fast! Which is good for me I want my skin to keep up lol!

At the moment protein is my concern and fresh fruit and veg! Then I am sure the rest will follow and I think it's a healthy amount!
We shall see!!!
Xxx
 
hair loss not going to be a problem for me. Lost loads over the years and not I just regularly have it shaved
 
Melissa!! I am so happy you said you can eat sushi! Lol I LOVE sushi so me thinks as a treat I will have a try.

I started myfitnesspal because I was convinced I have been over eating although the loss has been there but still ya know haha.

Ahe Shelley I'm sure all will be fine, you probably know this but, it's only temporarily :) I've not noticed any hair falling out myself *touch wood* although mine is thick too but, mine has felt shorted since surgery it's weird!

Melissa when can we start taking tablets? is it 6 weeks? I am going to email tamara just to be sure. But naughty naughty the only meds I've been having is my fastabs! I cant stomach the calcium soluble - tamara said it's not essential at the moment and can get tablet form, the dalivit or whatever its called went in the bin - it made me sick just smelling it - again tamara said not too big a problem as long as try chewable and take vitamins when ready for tablets.

All in all everyone sounds like all is going swell! Have a good afternoon xx
