I've had people ask if they could just eat like I do without the surgery and lose weight. Yes, you can and hopefully you won't eat your arm or kill someone in the process. Anyone can eat less and exercise more and they will lose weight. But will you? The problem is sticking with the plan. Surgery makes this a lifetime commitment.
Here's what I had today:
Breakfast was part of a Vanilla Cream Muscle Milk. 11oz of this only has 170 calories and 20 grams of protein. Yummy!
Lunch was a small piece of pork chop baked in Italian dressing and mac & cheese made with 2% evaporated milk.
Yes, that is on a salad plate and no, I couldn't eat all of it. However, what I ate stayed down and didn't hurt!!
Since lunch, I've had a couple of sips of low sodium tomato soup. Mainly, I wanted something salty and not sweet for a snack. I've also been working on getting water in. That's a daily chore.
I'll probably have the rest of the muscle milk this afternoon. I have no idea what's for supper - maybe some Greek yogurt??
What a drastic change this is to my life.
