First day that I ate enough calories. Did it by having 1/2 cup of ice cream. Lousy choice - waiting for a sugar craving. I will get this. It's just hard because I've been eating so badly for so long. Remove the crisp from my diet and there's not a lot of calories left. Need to do better planning. Love ready all the posts and comments. 🌻

One of the ways I satisfy my hunger and that the doctor suggested as minimum after my weight loss surgery as a goal was 64 oz of water a day. No caffeine, no carbonated beverages. If you do those you drink more to compensate. And 50 grams of protein. No more than 30 in one meal, your body won’t absorb it. Try keeping the sugar per meal under 5 g or so and the net carbs (which is your grams of carbohydrates minus your grams of fibre) below 10 per meal. Don’t worry about fats too much as they will take care of themselves as you stay with your recommended daily intake. And that’s a recommendation, not a requirement. You don’t have to force yourself to eat that many calories.🤷🏻‍♀️The important things to do are to get enough protein and water. If you are supplementing with a decent vitamin and minerals most people are fine going back and forth over the RDI. Keeping your magnesium and all your other good minerals up is important to your health as well. 🙆🏻Good luck🙆🏻

Thank you. I do need to plan better. Carbs and fat are way high, water almost nil. My husband is not weight watching so I'm having a bit of a problem with planning meals. But, I can and will. Just started doing some light yoga stretching. It's raining so my exercise will be laundry and cleaning the bathrooms. Lol

smprowett - just reread your comment. Good advise. I'm going to check my meals against it and get going on the water.
