Finally Post-op!
Hi all,
I have found that I am really neglecting to update this thread... I always keep an honest food diary at home, its just getting on here and updating it for everyone to see - and comment on!
However, last week I weighed in with a 2lb GAIN!!! Although I am not too worried as I realise it could be a simple case of water retention - it has given me a wake-up call regarding some of the bad habits I have been slipping into!
I am eating around 700-900 Kcal per day, so I don't think I have much of an issue there; however I noticed looking over the past few weeks how my snacking and slight reliance on carbs (majority of which was Seeded toast or potato) has creaped back into my diet on a regular basis!
As a result of this I am hopefully going to keep updating my food diary in the hopes I can see where I am going 'wrong' other people can comment and help me along.
I am also going to make some improvements to my diet in other ways. I am going to:
- ensure I have a Protein based breakfast (where possible) - I find that if I have toast, I have increased hunger for the rest of the day.
- have a food plan - so that I know what I am having during the week to reduce impulse meals and naughty snacking.
- try and introduce new foods (especially the ones I have always avoided pre-ops - focusing on veg and protein).
Any and all comments on my posts and daily diet are welcomed greatly!

PS - just so I don't offend anyone - when I mentioned snacking I was talking more about unhealthy and unplanned snacking, as opposed to good protein/veg based healthy planned snacks. I think snacking can help some people in some diets, however, for me I do not do this in the appropriate way and as such it has become a 'bad habit' as opposed to a 'good habit'.

I noticed it's looking a bit empty in here recently so I'll add my last few days' menus - I still write a daily food diary at home and still find it very useful for keeping track.
Friday
1 boiled egg & 1 slice wholemeal toast
1 homemade fishcake, 1 new potato, green beans.
1/2 chicken hotpot ww meal
Snacks - piece of easter egg.
1250ml fluid
Saturday
3/4 bowl porridge with added blueberries
3/4 cheese & pickle sandwich, few l/f crisps, 1/2 banana
2/3 steak fajita, 1 tbsp salad
Snacks - 6 mini eggs, blueberries
Hungry in evening - 3 crispbreads with dairylea light
1150ml fluid
Sunday
1 scrambled egg on 1 wholemeal toast
1/2 banana
Out shopping so M&S ready to go salad with curried chicken and prawns - 1/3 eaten.
1/2 small steak fajita.
strawberries, blueberries and handful of almonds/walnuts
Snacks - 2 rich tea biscs, easter chocolate. D'oh, can you see a pattern emerging here? Think the easter eggs are going to have to go. I can normally ignore chocolate but I'm due on so it's all the more appealing...
1100ml fluid so far.
Was ill all last week and barely ate but my appetite has returned with avengance this week, need to watch my carbs and chocolate indulgences! Also need to up my fluids again to minimum 2ltrs a day.
