Oooppsss


Didn't lose any weight when I weighed this morning.  Didn't gain but didn't lose. I know the pre-op diet isn't about losing weight but maintaining Ketosis.  I ate too much yesterday.  Ate healthy just ate too much.  Baby steps.  The apps I put on my phone have been wonderful......Calorie Counter and TrackerSavvy.  I have an Android Smartphone.  Both apps are free and super user friendly.  Especially doing the pre-op diet when protein and net carbs are so critical (Calorie Counter). 

Two mistakes I am making are: not eating enough fruit and veggies (got a little plugged up and had bad tummy ache) and not eating enough chewable protein (chicken, turkey etc.).  I think I need to chew.  Psychological but feel the need to chew.  I want warm comfort food too so I need to make some warm, healthy proteins to satisfy this need.  I will not be chewing anything for a few weeks post-op so should chew, chew, chew while I can.
