Hi, thank you so much for replying to my post. I am not struggling with any particular foods, my pouch is very well behaved I just wondered if I should be eating more or less, and i have now registered with the site you mentioned which should help me. I have a regular pattern of losing,then stalling for 4 weeks then losing again. My dietician keeps telling me that is just the way it is, but I just wondered if there was anything else I can do to break those darn stalls, I do exercise, but I have fibromylagia which makes all exercise quite difficult. I am one of the Just Dance and Step to the Beat fans! I tend to avoid carbs, they make my diabetes hard to control. So didn't eat them pre op, also I know if i do they always leave me wanting more!Hi Dawn
I'm a little behind you (1st Feb). I'm eating pretty much what I want. I've stayed away from bread, pasta, rice & spuds - more through choice than anything as I've not fancied them & if I can do without them I will.
I'm not counting calories as I'm happy with my weightloss and am loosing at a steady rate. I do use www.myfitnesspal.com to keep an eye on my protein intake, and without adding shakes I'm getting between 60-80g of protein each day from lean meats, fish, eggs,cheese, milk etc. I'm eating all the fruit & veg I used to eat before my op.
That site does tot up you cals for you and I go from anything from 500-1000 cals each day I've logged stuff.
Some days I manage to eat more than others, but it tends to even out over the week.
On the days when I don't feel like eating I make sure that I have extra latte's or yoghurts to up my protein.
Is there anything your struggling with in particular?
hey Dawn as you know I'm 2 days in front of you, Normally i can eat a small portion of anything sort of toddler size meals, although the odd day i'm able to eat more and then some days i'm sick after everything i eat.
My hair is still coming out in ruddy great handfuls and so i think i maybe need to get some kind of protien suppliment although i do enjoy having less hair its much easier to manage and only takes half the time to do. lol
