Hmm try not to snack often. Even healthy options are still what we call "grazing" and will lead to a slow down in your weight loss or a stall. I had NY Surgery September 22 and ate 1/4 cup of food until late December. I'm eating 1/2 of a cup now and my nutritionist said I should stay closer to 1/2 a cup vs 3/4 of a cup for many months.
Try eating some protein you like: fish, chicken, pork, beef (not my fav!), turkey. I constantly look up healthy recipes for guidance. But I work had to keep that carb to once a day. For my Human Nutrition class, we have to record what we eat and my daily average for carbs is 10g lol! I think it's silly for me to fill it out, but everyone else in class has to so I suppose it's not fair if I skip it.
Today my food was: chocolate raspberry flavored protein shake at 6am, leftovers at 10am (thin slice of corned beef, cooked cabbage, and 1/2 or 1/3 of a cooked carrot), when I came home at 2:30pm or so I had 1/2 a cup portion of the ricotta bake and I almost couldn't finish it - very filling!, and for dinner I made blackened chicken, green beans, and brown rice I had cooked and flavored with seasonings. I ate about 1/3 of my chicken breast, 1/4 cup of green beans, and 1 forkfull of brown rice since I wasn't hungry, but wasn't full and needed some carbs. I made some black bean brownies the other day that are so tasty so I might eat one later to tide me over for the night Does that help you any?

Well it depends on if I go to work or not on the weekends when I work 6-2 I eat breakfast twice - at 5, 5:30am and then again at 10am. I like eating yogurt or a protein shake. Syntrax Matrix is my favorite then I eat again at 2pm. Dinner is usually 5-6pm and I eat mostly protein, but this is when I rend to eat my carb of the day whether it's a couple bites of a sweet potato or brown rice, etc. I enjoy eating mixed nuts, babybel cheese, yogurt, I make the ricotta bake from

I just add what I want like green bell peppers, turkey sausage or turkey pepperoni. Yum! I double the recipe and use a measuring cup and freeze a bunch of it in individual portions. Oh and for lunch I tend to eat leftovers. I drink coffee and the one cup I have takes a good hour to hour and a half to drink so that's cutting into my water-intake unfortunately

Thanks girl! I'm going to weigh myself again on the 22nd as I'll be 6 months post op then

Your only 4 months post surgery. You really are doing amazing. You will get there be patient (easier said then done) I was the same at 4 months post. I thought I wasn't loosing quick enough or I was messing up. When I was 4 months out I was down 55lbs. Your where I was at. Just gotta stop comparing ;-)

Munecagirl85 , I know how you feel I'm 5'1" and weigh 154 and I'm still a size 16 . But ya kinda not compare your self to anybody ,you are on your own individual mission and this is not a race it's a life change so don't be so hard on your self your doing amazing ! Now you need to stay focus.

Hi! I saw your comment under 'thesinger' blog 'I love the new me' where you said you were still in size 22 and loosing slowly. Your ticker shows a loss of 59lbs. That's amazing!! We're all built differently. For example, you said you were in size 22 before...I assume that's when you were 365.......'the singer' was a size 22 at 258 poinds. That's proof that were all built different. Your loosing inches everywhere and I wouldn't be surprised if one day the 22's fit and they next day there too big try not to compare your loss to others. We're all different.
