umm. hopefully you will be able to find some help regarding that. i don't think there would be any suggestion other than make sure that you don't eat than your daily allowance. but if you are still gaining weight. you should talk to your doc. maybe try another medication?

Thank you :) indeed it is.

yeah i know what you are talking about. I've been feeling bad for quite awhile so i don't really feel like i want to eat most of the time. but i eat anyway to reach my daily goal. but once i feel slightly good for a few hours. i feel like i need to raid the fridge. :D

Umm, do you feel like your appetite increased?

Thank you for the suggestion, i am going to write down the names of meds you guys told me. and hopefully i will find it here. i know that some medications are not the same name in every country. but my dr should know that.

True, :) i am just afraid that i will get all the negative effects and nothing good :D i understand that it is important to get my mental health in check especially when i feel like i am lucky i am still breathing. focusing only on my body won't get me far in life. my dr is in a trip to US right now. so i will talk to him…

I will do more research :) thank you for your replay

Good, thanks for the replay. I am like always questioning if Antidepressants actually work. even though i never actually committed to taking it everyday. i have the feeling that nothing can fix me. so hopefully i will be able to follow the prescription and not gain any weight. that would be a plus.

well, i just had a surgery, so i wasn't excising. but even before surgery, i did exercise. but i tend to forget or only exercise when i feel good mentally. I lift and run so my routine for running is i run at night "i use the 5k run app" because i am not really good at running and i had a plan of becoming more fit. and i…

Most of the inputs are in grams. but do you use a scale to weight your food or log the most close entry?

i am 5'8'' and i am 69 kg (152 lbs) and my heaviest was (185 lbs). i carry most of my on my hips. i am in the healthy BMI range now. i don't really know how much i need to go down to lose fat in my thigh. but i am trying to lift some weight and keep losing weight and i will keep losing until i feel i look good. but i don't…

it is really weird how food and water and rest can change you in a couple of hours. i woke up today after 9 hours sleep. my neck, throat and chin were hurting really bad still. :D but i just had a good meal and i feel much better already. the swelling in my neck is better and my throat doesn't hurt as much.

yeah. i will try too :)

i will try to eat some eggs and yogurt, my mom made me two boiled eggs yesterday after the surgery, i felt horrible cause i couldn't even open my mouth :). but i feel better now than yesterday so i should be able to eat it. maybe not boiled though.

thanks for the tip :)

Amen, food is not the enemy :D thank you for your reply.

thank you, the problem is i don't get enough protein in regular days :/ i can't reach the protein goals set by MFP. but since it doesn't matter i will just try to eat balanced meals. just kinda hard when you can only eat soft foods.

do you think i should focus on a certain macro? protein maybe? to help in recovery or does it matter in anyway?

thanks

yeah, i feel like i need to focus on recovery and rest, not on logging every drink and meal. but i wasn't sure if this could lead to me gaining weight. so i thought maybe people can give advice on not logging for a few days and how do they manage it.

i am not sure what my exact maintenance is though.

yeah, i guess that here on MFP "very active" means that you have very active job. it doesn't count exercise calories. so i believe if you go cycling and then your job is a desk job you would be better off choosing "sedentary" or "light active" + exercise calories

I hate it too. just not being able to workout. i know that lots of people say that working out will actually help you (less cramps) but i don't really have awful cramps (i take pain relief first day) and i am fine. I just feel like my battery is completely drained, i get dizzy whenever i stand up and i just don't feel like…

I don't drink alcohol but i think if you can fit it in your day then it's fine just don't drink too much that you don't have much calories for anything else :)

the package doesn't have any information regarding fiber intake Nutrition facts per 100 gm energy: 238.58 total fats: 2.26 sodium: 415.10 carbs: 45.25 protein: 9.31 it is a local bread company so i had to enter the food in the database myself. the ingredients are wheat flour, bran, water, vegetable oil, sugar, sali, yeast,…

yeah, i just downloaded libra yesterday. i will definitely start eating more fruits and veggies

Thank you so much for the inspiring post. very helpful :) i appreciate the support and words of encouragements!!

maybe i am, i dunno. but i get genuinely concerned about my diet. i don't want to mess up. i've been doing so good for 4 months now and if i am doing something wrong now. then i need to know so i can go further. that's probably the main reason i am so obsessed right now. thank you for the input. i will talk about that with…

yeah, i probably didn't even remember that i didn't go for days, or maybe i did go but didn't empty my stomach. i feel very bloated though. my stomach feels like me when i was 85 kg

umm, that's something to think about. i don't eat lots of fruits and vegetables!! my mom is staying with me for awhile and whenever she is here. she do all the shopping and i just eat what she gets. but i asked her the other day to get my some fruits and vegetables. is there's fiber in whole wheat toast? i eat that with…
