What I Ate: 12/5/2009

• 1 medium granny smith apple. It's not good to eat fruit without protein post-WLS, especially in the losing phase, but I made this mistake and have to be accountable for it. (80 kcals, 0g protein, 17g net carbs, 0g fat)
• 1/2 pumpkin shake that I made with a different protein this time: Lean Dessert fresh cinnamon roll. I hate this protein when it's just mixed with water, but I liked it when I tasted it pre-op. I think what bothers me about it is the thick, slimy consistency. I've heard that your tastes change frequently after surgery, so figured I'd give this protein another go. Apparently, my tastes are exactly the same as they were seven months ago. I liked the effect of the Lean Dessert on the thickness of the pumpkin shake; it was thick enough to eat with a spoon without having the slimy consistency. However, it still made me feel gross, so I only had about half of it. 1/2 Oh Yeah! vanilla creme (110 kcals, 16g protein, 1.5g net carbs, 1.5g fat), with 2 tbsp. canned pumpkin (10 kcals, 0.5g protein, 1g net carbs, 0g fat) and 1/2 scoop Lean Dessert fresh cinnamon roll (65 kcals, 20g protein, 6g net carbs, 1.5g fat). Total for what I drank - (93 kcals, 13.2g protein, 4.3g net carbs, 1.5g fat)
• I still needed more protein, so I made up for the Lean Dessert mistake by eating some deli slices - 3 slices Hormel Natural deli turkey (50 kcals, 10g protein, 1g carb, 1g fat)
• 1 Chik-Fil-A chargrilled chicken filet (110 kcals, 21g protein, 1g carbs, 1g fat)
• 1 Chai Tea Believe protein drink (120 kcals, 20g protein, 5g net carbs, 0g fat)
• 2.5 oz. pork chop (137 kcals, 22g protein, 0g carbs, 4.8g fat) with 1/4 cup brussel sprouts (17 kcals, 1.4g protein, 1.6g net carbs, 0.2g fat) cooked with 1/4 cup diced onions (16 kcals, 0.5g protein, 3g net carbs, 0g fat), 1 strip Jennie-O extra lean turkey bacon (20 kcals, 3g protein, 0g carbs, 0.5g fat), about 1/2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar (5 kcals, 1g net carb), and thyme, Worcestershire sauce, and DaVinci sweetening syrup. Total - (195 kcals, 26.9g protein, 5.6g net carbs, 5.5g fat)
• 1/3 cup Fage (40 kcals, 6.6g protein, 3g net carbs, 0g fat) with 1 scoop Inspire ice cream sandwich protein powder mixed in (126 kcals, 30g protein, 2g carbs, 0g fat) and various SF syrups (166 kcals, 36.6g protein, 5g net carbs, 0g fat)
• 4 Bariatric Advantage calcium lozenges (12 kcals, 3g net carbs, 0g fat)
• 2 Celebrate orange multivitamins (10 kcals, 1g net carbs, 0g fat)
• 1 Celebrate grape iron + c (5 kcals, 1g net carbs, 0g fat)
• 3 pouches of sugar-free drink mix (30 kcals, 7.5g net carbs, 0g fat)
• 1 Bariatric Advantage chocolate calcium chew (15 kcals, 4g net carbs)

Total:
886 kcals
127.7g protein
57.7% kcals from protein
55.4g net carbs
25.0% kcals from net carbs
9g fat
9.1% kcals from fat

Lately, I've been really struggling to motivate myself to exercise. Today, I eventually got a little workout in with Leslie Sansone's "Walk Strong" 30-minute aerobics dvd.
