  • Thanks everyone for the knowledge. I got some crappy sodium filled frozen meals (though I did get the newer "natural" ingerdient ones) to make it easier to get dinner eaten. I ate more today, and am planning on a snack but am having horrendous gas pains so idk if it will happen. Went to the gym today, got my active Trax…
  • I'm really not intending to under eat. My go to food in the past has been fast food. I've done my best to eliminate that, but am not always able to replace it. I am a full time nursing student, part time teacher, mom and foster to puppies. I just bought an instant pot. I'm hoping that will help me get more quality calories…
  • So- in terms of not having enough. I hear what you are saying, but doesn't that primarily matter for smaller people? When I go to bed sans enough calories, my thought is that I *was* going to have a gastric sleeve. If I had, my caloric intake would be what I've had some days or less. It isn't magically safer for someone…
  • What can I improve with my logging? I did have one day recently with a lot of eating out, so I tossed a big number in and called it a day. But aside from that I *think* I've been pretty on top of it. I would love to do better though if you wouldn't mind telling me how.
  • Started 60 days ago. Plateau was just over a week, then dropped suddenly. Then have been gaining about .4 to .8lbs a day, some days losing part of what I gained the day before. That's been going on for about a week. The scale read 279.8 this morning. I started working out a week ago, which is much more than I was doing…
  • My goal is 1200. At least 4 days this week I was under 600. By the time I got home (ridiculously busy with kids and school etc) I was more tired than hungry and went to bed. It wasn't intentional. Plus exercise calories, which again I don't eat.
  • I have a pair of size 24 jeans from a few years ago that barely button, and I'm currently wearing size 18 jeans bought new from the same store (Torrid). It's crazy!
  • Sorry to have started a debate! So far so good. In fact, I have been pumping more milk than I was previously (though that could also be contributed to better hydration), and the milk is fattier. Although I am able to directly nurse my toddler, my infant has a few issues that make her breast feeding unsuccessful at the…
  • Thank you all for the replies. I actually nurse my toddler and pump for my infant, who is unable to latch. So I will be aware of any change in out put (why I'm willing to "risk" it). I have plenty of milk frozen if my supply suddenly tanks, to last while I rebuild. I'm going to give it a go, thank you for the articles.
