Re: Prepare to be shocked...Kristy

[Guest guest]

Kristy,

I am not shocked. I am quite confident that I eat 2500 to 3000

calories a day - somedays more - like yesterday. As long as the

scales aren't creeping up I am gonna keep on keepin on.

Yesterdays menu:

1 cheese enchilada

1 beef enchilada

1 chicken enchilada

1 beef taco

1 beef tamale

1 cheese chili relleno

basket of chips and lotsa salsa

refried beans & potatos (1/2 c. each)

very small portion of spaghetti & marinara sauce

green beans

2 hostess cupcakes

2 funsize snicker bars

3 jack in the box tacos

lots of coffee

lots of water

all my vitamins and minerals

I think we all ate different preop and we will all eat different post

op. EAch of us will have to adjust and eat for what works best for

our bodies. I weigh every 3-4 days - my high is 144 and low 141. If I

start gaining you had better believe I will start cutting back -

FAST!!!

hugs, cindy lee

==============================

No reason to cut back if your not gaining and your getting in your

protein... I did your numbers for fun and as you can see with 123

grams protein your doing fine. It looks like your calorie intake is

about where I am....the difference, my weight is starting to creep

up and I do want to lose a few. I'm sure I just need to control the

sugar, especially the sugar I drink.

Hey JO,

Thanks for taking the time to calculate that for me. I have never

logged onto fitday. I fear that with my tendency toward obsessive

behavior I could become obsessive with calorie counting - which I

have been in the past. Yesterday was a big eating day. We went out to

my favorite Mexican place that we RARELY get to go to so I ordered

big with the intention of eating nothing but the leftovers for the

rest of the day. Well, another case of good intentions gone awry!

thanks again!

hugs, cindy lee

Lee!!!! HEY SKINNY! How are you?

I think that since half your calories are coming from Fat that is

why the calories aren't important. If it was really high in

sugar... and you didn't have lots of fat pushing things through

the " plumbing " ... you'd absorb more of it.

It will be interesting to see what happens in a few years.

I am still bouncing in my ten pound range. I eat WHATEVER I want.

I am very sure I am eating around 3K calories per day or more.

I love seeing what people eat. Makes me feel normal

Hugs,
