  • Are you eating or drinking any added sugar? When I cut out added sugar my weight dropped significantly over a short period of time.

  • Breakfast: Berry smoothie with protein powder and almond butter. Lunch: medium chicken breast with avocado oil spread and veggies, asparagus is my favorite. Dinner: Fish & veggies, with low-sugar sauce. Snack: I try to get a 100 calorie snack in every day but it is a challenge. Beverage: Water or sugar-free iced tea (5…

  • 5'2", 135 pounds. I want to get down to 115. I used to be 300, so I think I'm doing pretty well. Is six months out long enough for a goal of losing 20 pounds? I'm good with my diet, my biggest problem is getting all my calories in, but doing better. Exercise I need to work on. I've been working out 1-2 times a week but…

  • I've lost a lot of weight but still have high cholesterol. I am cutting out red meat. I always thought pork wasn't a red meat but apparently it is. I was eating a lot of pork, beef, and lamb. Now I stick to fish and poultry. Thank you for asking this here, the responses are helping me.

  • Thank you for this list! I have a terrible time getting my calories in! I had the Gastric Bypass, and although I feel like I eat and eat I just can't reach my goal. Some people on the discussion forums have suggested eating pizza or "whatever you want" but with my surgery I can't tolerate just any food. Others suggested I…
    in A List of Calorie Dense Foods Comment by joyputnam04 October 2022
  • Unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover RD, and it only covered 6mo of aftercare at the bariatric office. A support group would be helpful, thanks for the suggestion. Thank you to the posters that suggested adding a couple calorie dense foods I may be able to tolerate. I am sorry, didn't mean to start drama, I know I need…

  • Also, I can't eat foods like pizza or bacon because even a little makes me throw up.
    in How do you get all your calories in? Comment by joyputnam04 October 2022
  • I am 5'2. My body fat percentage is 39%, so I'm trying to get that down. Some context: I had the Gastric Bypass is 2015 and cannot eat very much because my stomach is so small. I feel like I eat and eat, but can't reach my calorie goal. Simply saying "eat more" is not realistic for me.

  • I've tried WW and Jenny in the past, with limited results. Now I just eat fresh healthy food and do my cooking at home, not counting "points" all the time. I track my food and exercise on MFP and that helps. I've lost over 160 pounds, with about 25 to go. Eat healthy, exercise. It's not that complicated.
    in What weight loss program do you use? Comment by joyputnam04 October 2022
  • I have been there! Daily fast food got me up to 300 pounds. Bring your own lunch with some healthy snacks and keep your credit card at home! I am proof that diet and exercise works. Since I started cooking my own food I have lost over 160 pounds, all while saving my money! The first week is the hardest just like quitting…
