Even more so when they ask, “How’d you do it? What’s your secret?” My secret is a whole lot of…STFU GO AWAY! Go run a mile, or 10!

10:1 ratio is what they had me doing in pre-surgery diet so I figured it was optimal. I’ve been trying to focus on protein intake because the book they gave me says I’m supposed to be working toward 60 to 80 grams a day & I’m no where near that yet

Why not? I have been 10:1 on my good days since my pre-op diet and post-op through clear liquids, liquids, pureed, mushies, and the whole other mess of things. Think PROTEIN first. Look at labels. Ditch the carbs! At least for a while.

I haven’t moved weight-wise this whole month, why? because I haven’t been putting protein first. I’ve been scarfing down crackers, and bread and cookies. Not placing protein first. But you know what? tomorrow is a new day - a new low carb day :)

I was so excited to come to Vegas, even with my anti-social-like personality. I had imagined in my head things going a completely different way than they have been going, and I’m more than upset. Last night when I landed I missed registration and instead showed up to the Ho down at 7. I saw a lot of familiar faces, but no one said hi. I lingered awkwardly around the room…and finally I decided that I would take it upon myself to just have fun. I grabbed a cowboy hat and headed to the photo booth. While waiting Jenleigh saw me, and greeted me, hugged me and allowed me to hang out with her. But towards the end of the night I have the personality of a soccer mom. So, I felt like a 3rd wheel. I called my boyfriend in tears. He suggested that I go speak to them instead. I ended up falling asleep. Ths morning I checked facebook and saw that Candisweetenough had posted so I met up with her. She is the sweetest woman ever! She let me be around her the whole day and I immediately felt better. I learned ask her free-bee.tricks and by the end of the afternoon I need a new bag. Taking both my boyfriend and Candi’s advice I decided to be pro active and say hello first. I did, and when I reached the one person i.really wanted to meet she greeted me nicely and then just turned back to the other famous YouTubers. It crushed me. I felt rejected and stupid. I wishes so badly that my accountability girls would have come along, but they all were either broke or had previous engagements.

PERIOD.

(of course protein shakes exceed that ratio, but I will not account for that one. That’s in a separate category all together)

For example:

Cheese A: 60 Calories 2 protein - Not worth eating.

Cheese B: 60 Calories 4 protein - ok, can eat in a pinch. But honestly, I probably won’t eat it.

Cheese C: 60 Calories 6 Protein - YES!

Cheese D: 45 Calories 9 protein - GET IN MY MOUTH NAO! (this is the ratio for Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese, also don’t give me shit about preservatives, I’ve eaten a lot worse in my 300 pound life)

So, If I have 4 oz of grilled chicken breast plus cheese D I will be eating around 165 calories 31 grams of protein. NO BRAINER FOR A Weight Loss Surgery Patient!

is in 16 days. WOWZA! Time flies!
