What did you eat yesterday?

First topic message reminder :

Yesterday I Had:


Protein shake

1 arrowroot buiscuit made mushie with a Jarrah

soft noodles in plum hoisen sause about half a cup

scrambled eggs about 3/4 of a cup

1 yogo

1 Jarah

1600mls of water with a small amount of diet cordial.


I think I am having the wrong foods to lose weight? Do you think there is enough protien in there? Also I am finding I not hungry at all in the morning and then get hungry at night (or empty) and have like a sore churning tummy.

Is anyone else willing to critique me and/or post their food intake for the day so I can copy the successful sleevers? I was hoping we could make a running post so that I can continually record what I eat and compare it so I don't go to far off track.

I am still restricted a bit as I am still on mushies. That finishes in a week or two so I am starting to move towards normal foods.

Ok i havent been on much this week but here goes

1/13 weetbix with skim milk
1 scone with butter and jam
a couple of lollies
A very small piece of roast beef, a sppon full of mashed potato, and a spoon of carrots and peas and corn
Went out to a girls night in party and snacked all night on cashews and brie cheese and a couple of crackers...then they had supper...omg....so much food but i limited myself to 1 pinwheel

I had about 3 coffees and water with diet cordial throught the day..then a can of sprite while out

thanks everyone for helping me. I feel so supported! I am glad that others seem to be having the same thoughts as me....it makes me feel normal and alot less of a freak case.

Chrisbychic I have taken your suggestion into stong consideration and am not going to be snacking at all.
I am going to do a two day optifast if I have enough self control for it....lol:)

Hmmm for me yesterday since im feeling brighter felt like i ate all day... looking at what i write i think i did...

b/f 1 scrambled egg and half a piece of toast

and 500ml of water
200ml of milk

exersize.. hmmmmm have done the usual cleaning of the house and dishes but since i have been sick havnt really done that either but going to start again next week... Going to the markets now to get some fresh air so thats a walk..

Can't remember yesterday already but I am six weeks out and had the following today
Breakfast - glass of skim milk
Lunch tried the inside of an eggplant and spinach calzone - ate 4 bites threw up one- tummy sore
Snack - glass of skim milk, a teaspoon of vanilla lite ice cream
Dinner - don't know yet- but I will post it when I get back from the restaurant

Okay, let me do another day, so we can get some more info.
Yesterday I had (as well as lots of tea, some ginger beer, and a cap)
Breakfast - 1 slice raisin toast
Lunch - small portion smoked trout, about 6 rice crackers with 2 types of dip (tzatziki and taramasalata), a slice of tomato and a few small pieces of greens
Afternoon tea - naughty - about 1/2 - 3/4 cup twisties (amazing how well these went down, too!)
Dinner: 6 pieces sushi - the ones with just rice and a flattened prawn on top - with a little avocado, 2 bites of a pear
Apart from the twisties, this is a fairly normal type of quantity for me.

Charmaz

i was sleeved at the end of July
my weight stalled for about 3 weeks. which was when i had just started eating normal food again
it got me worried so i started having optifast again for breakfast and lunch for a few days which got scales moving again.
i worry that i eat too much
i have a snack between meals because i get hungry a couple of hours after a meal. but try to keep it to a yogart or cruskit. or some other low cal thing
but i still eat high calorie things each day (but just a tiny piece of something) trying to break my bad habits gradually
i hate counting cals and i forget to write a food diary most of the time
i think i will start using the weight watchers points because it is so much easier and counting cals.
hope that helps

Yes, you're right, Charmaz - everyone's different. I don't think you're eating much more than me - just that it's spread out a bit more. The quantities are, I think, similar. However, if you're still concerned, call your doc and ask.
Last time I talked to my doc (and I'm due to see him again next week), he told me that I was getting to the danger period, ie when you can eat more different types and textures of foods. He said that I should limit myself to 3 meals a day and nothing in between, if I could. And that when people with sleeves had problems with not losing enough weight, it was usually because they grazed their way through the day instead of sticking to 3 meals.
I've discovered over the last few weeks that this is true. I can eat more if I graze, ie have something, then something else a couple of hours later, and something else a few hours later. I started to do this without realising, and when I discovered what I was doing, have tried to stop it (not as easy as starting, though!).
I have noticed something else that might help you though. When I went from clear fluids to nourishing fluids, my weight stalled a little before I started losing again. Then when I went from nf to mushies, the same thing happened. And when I went to more solid mushies, the same again. Over the last few weeks, my weight stayed the same for nearly 3 weeks - and that's when I've been able to eat a more normal diet, and a little more than before too. I have just started losing again, though, so I think this is just my body's way of adjusting to the changes. Perhaps something similar happens with you?
Bye for now
Chris

Thanks applesauce. I am feeling a little less freaked out about it...I suppose we should not compare too much cause everyone is different and some have blockages and other things going on for them... I suppose my weight has plateaued for about 3 weeks now... bit of a dissapointment. maybe im exercising too much or something...never mind I think I will have to trick my body somehow but need to sit down and nut it out...

Thanks again,.

charmaz the only thing to watch there is now you are eating is IF and ONLY IF the weight stops moving for you is to start limiting the snacks you are having.

but I can not stress enough that you are so not doing a thing wrong :)


Yesterday.............

crunchie nut corn flake clusters skim milk breakfast

mcains snap in half chicken lasanga frozen meal lunch

starburst rattle snakes 6 of made me sick as a dog, never never again *LOL* talk about sugar rush

mcains snap in half tomatoa and bacon pasta eaten early to try and get me out of the sugar rush but ended up being sick any way

6 ritz crackers with a scrap of danish feta on them as my dinner had not settled after that sugar mess


applesauce

wow thanks Chris...I seem to eat so much more...I think

Yesterday I had

1/2 cup of porridge
2 coffee spread out over all of morning.
1/2 piece of toast 2hr after porridge
50-100g natural yoghurt with some small bits of pinapple in it. (not much pinapple.) 1 hour after toast
weight watchers potato chips (1 point)
1 cup of potato bake for lunch with a small bit of cheese on it. yum yum (only 3 weight watchers points)
3 mcdonalds nuggets and small garden salad from mcdonalds (2.5 weight watchers points)
some cooked veges (1/2 cup about 730pm)

whilst watching a movie in the evening I also ate some microwave buttered popcorn which I overate and then had to be sick (sorry to be gross) so I dont think my body absorbed much of that...

I have now discovered that you can put some popcorn seeds in a brown paper bag with no butter or anything else and fold top of bag so it wont come open when cooking and it gives you air popped corn. I think that 3 cups of popped corn is about 1.5 weight watchers points as long as it has no butter or anything. I am going to do this for some snacks.
I also had about 3 cups of tea during the day-evening and lots of water.

Do you think I should be able to eat all this?
Is there any such thing as slide foods with the sleeve?

You're doing great, Sam - good on you! I found liquids hard - missing the whole crunch factor.
Charmaz, I was done at the end of June, and although yesterday was a bad day, here it is - you can add several drinks, including a skim cap.
Breakfast: 1 fried egg, 3/4 rasher bacon, small piece each of mushroom, tomato, eggplant
Lunch: 5 medium prawns, 4-5 rice crackers with dip
Later: 6 squares chooclate
Dinner: 1 x 200g frozen Healthy Choice meal, 3 squares chocolate
Not a day to be proud of, but I was punished by feeling sick after the chocolate.
Chris

200ml skim milk + ice
1 icey pole
250 apple juice/+ice
250ml V8 juice + protein powder tsp
250ml opti chicken soup
1 icey pole

First week of liquids doneand one week to go. Liquids are easy, I just do the above every day. No blending, no fussing. Keeping it simple and watching the kilos melt off.

WAHOOOOOO

Can anyone who had surgery in July 08 tell me how much they are eating on a daily basis, ie. ammount and type of food.
I am really concerned that I have stretched my sleeve and am quite anxious about this. I would really appreciate anyone else's input who has had their surgery then.

It seems that I have not had as much weight loss as others. Thanks all

Like you, Applesauce, I tend to park further away and walk, and do more things around the house. And I'm not avoiding doing things now just because I have to get up (it was so difficult to get out of a chair before). And putting shoes on - what a difference!
Yesterday's food:
Tea
1/2 cup rice custard
Tea
about 6 rice crackers throughout the day, as I was feeling nauseous for no apparent reason
Optifast
Tea
That's all folks - just as well, after the day before!
Chris

Hi Apple,

I used to have a terrible addiction to Kopiko coffee lollies several years ago so I daren't not try them again anymore LOL.

steph

coffee produces masses of acid for me, I could not handle it before surgery and since it is just a no go for me beyond the odd mocha which I pay the price for in a nasty way. Any way I LOVE adore crave the stuff I get high sniffing others coffee I love the stuff. I have found these lollies and they have NO reaction at all to me but taste like a rich cup of coffe they are sugar free kipiko coffee drops. I just love them to bits. So anybody else out there with the coffee love but a problem since surgery can try these for a wonderful hit and so low in calories as they are sugar free.

applesauce

can I make a suggestion here. at the bottom of what you ate today to encourage you a little bit how about I moved my butt line......
Nobody is expecting I worked out for 4 hours at the gym *LOL*
I mean I parked my car at the back of the car park and walked that bit more
I went shopping and did 30 minutes window shopping
I walked the dog
I raked up the leaves
Just those little things that made you go geeeeeeez girl (okay or guy) I did good for myself today)
I just thought it is so not worth an entire thread but just something you can have a tiny little smile or brag about when you do your food :)
any way not a must do just a hey if it makes you feel good do it :) Hell if it is I did my own shoe laces up THAT damn well counts for a lot of us as well. Just remeber a line of pride never hurt nobody and I can not see that dragging the thread off topic :)

applesauce

lol em
As soon as i saw you write "recess" i new you worked in a school...........like me
You sound like your doing well. I find it hard getting my fluids in when im in class.....have to remember to keep going back to my bottle.
I also can only manage 1/2 a sandwich, i tend to not eat at recess as i enjoy my coffee more at that time of the day then i do food...lol....or should i say i need my coffee....to keep me sane.
