Normally I eat around 1200 cal a day, but now I get to eat 1450-1550. I'm still

having problems getting the portions and number of grams of carbs and protein

per day correct. Even though I'm eating clean carbs, the numbers are still up.

That's the start of the vicious cycle where you cut your calories and

get good results, so you cut them a little more, and a little more,

and a little more, and pretty soon you're scared to eat at all AND

you're not losing any more weight.

For the best results you want to eat the *most* that you can while

still losing weight/inches. If you can lose a pound a week eating 1500

calories a day, dropping it to 1200 or 1100 or 1000 isn't an

improvement. It just tells your metabolism that the famine is on and

it better slow down accordingly.

It also helps if you don't eat exactly the same number of calories

every day. Let it go up and down by a couple hundred. If you're using

palm/fist portions, eating a variety of foods, and taking a free day,

that should be happening already.

I was there a while back and totally jacked up my system. Now I meticulously

count calories, but do eat more of them. I'm still having a hard time figuring

out carbs and protein to allot per day without making it too complicated, and

I've only been getting about 10 g of fat per day. Not good and I really need

help with this.

An easy way to bring your fat up would be to add a tablespoon of flax

oil or Udo's. Then you wouldn't have to change anything else about

your meals. You could also add small portions of healthy fats to your

regular meals - a little peanut butter on an apple, a little olive oil

in a salad, a couple wedges of avocado on a sandwich or salad, salmon

for dinner once in awhile.

Barry,

That's wonderful news! Congratulations -- and congrats on making a choice of CI

brand! All the bst to you in your CI journey! I can't wait to read more about

it!

Met the audiologist this morning, went through a few things and put

the hardware selection in writing. I told him that while I totally

understood it was a long shot, I have a naming ceremony for my first

grandchild coming up in mid-April, and it would be wonderful if I

could have the CI activated by then (and, on the other hand, that I

did not want to schedule the surgery in the week before the event).

I'm self-employed, I told him -- if you get a cancellation, I can go

on 48 hours notice.

It's a half-hour drive from home. I called my daughter to tell her

the latest, then got back to work, starting by checking my email --

and there it was: they have a cancellation. Short version: I'm

getting the implant a week from today!!! It's taken a little bit of

scrambling, but I have all the pre-op stuff lined up. " Excited " would

be an understatement.

Now I just have to settle myself down. I have a week-and-a-half's

worth of work on my desk that has to get done first....

Congratulations!!!  Keep us posted, and I'll be praying everything goes like

clockwork and that you recover quickly.  How exciting - you should be hearing

something by the time you have your grandchild's naming ceremony.

Mazel tov, Barry! You just may be able to hear a bit of the naming ceremony

by mid April. If not, you'll surely hear the child's first words! Jackie )
